Who should bear the blame for the devastation of the Trump presidency?

Obviously Trump himself and his family,
The Republican Party, principally McConnell and Lindsey Graham,
The right wing media, Faux news and other wingnuts with access to mass communication devices
The religious right who advocate from the pulpit for phony Republican candidates who claim to
support their issues, “it’s all about the judges”
but ultimately blame lies with the 70 million Americans who would allow the destruction of American democracy in favor of a demented cult leader

The undemocratic electoral college could be the ultimate stake in the heart of this republic.

A long-term, sustained effort must be made to eliminate it. It is a fundamental flaw in our system of government.

That SO many Americans have chosen to indulge their lesser instincts and allowed themselves to let go and fully hop on board the GOP hate train.

If Trump had another four years he would have entrenched himself so deep into the government with his minion helpers that no one could have moved him out without a civil war.

For example, look at how Trump turned on the Republican governors just because they would not do his bidding in the 2020 election.

Now imagine, with four more years, Trump would have his own people in place everywhere within the government. Already, you can see these people would do whatever the dear leader Trump said for them to do. Firing squads???? Who knows?????

Just imagine........

orwell
