I have for years assumed that there MUST be a limit to how low the Trump party could go.

I have now decided that there simply is no bottom to that well.

Just for example, they have now shamelessly claimed that the violent coup attempt last January 1.) did not happen, 2.) was the work of "antifa", 3.) was staged by the FBI, 4.) was a "false flag operation" of the Democrats!

There is nothing so vile, so transparently false, so LOW that some Trumpie will not scream it through clenched teeth on live TV.

and this country. They want total permanent autocratic, white supremacy rule. And to take as much of the country's wealth as they can.

They will damage the country, ruin democracy, and cause civilian deaths in their quest. There is nothing they won't do.

The are far more akin to Gobbles than Washington. The process began with a B movie actor/puppet and has gone downhill ever since. There is no bottom to their level of deceit and there is no limits to their pursuit of total power. Hate and fear sell better than compassion.
