Imagine* taking a crap on America with a camera and microphone in your face.
Imagine lighting a match to the Constitution and being cheered for it.
Imagine loudly spewing hatred and bigotry countrywide to turn Americans against each other.
Imagine doing a weird little dance at an NRA Convention, after stumbling through reading the names of children murdered in Texas.
We don't have to imagine it. It happened. TFG, yeah, Trump, is a disease that's far more dangerous than Covid.
He's a leech that clings. We're stuck with him. Far too many Republicans love the ignorance, the cruelty, the maliciousness, and the illusion of "superiority" he holds out to them.
But here's the reality of what he's done and is still doing. He's infected America with the the deadly poison that has existed within the Republican Party for decades. He tore their mask off. He pulled back the curtain. He made it plain who and what they are. He kicked open the door to hell.
Those who are not paying attention may soon be wondering how Republicans turned America into a dictatorship.
And if/when that happens, MAGAs who actually are paying attention, will be as happy as pigs in a pit of diarrhea.
Trump was the final straw that broke the elephant's back. He exposed them as people who don't give a shit about democracy or other people. He brought their ignorance and greed out into the open, along with, what so many of his followers call, "Christianity."
I know Joe, Nancy and Chuck are doing everything they can. But somehow, the Republicans/Fascists, always seem to be holding the upper hand. But this time around, all of our freedoms are on the line. We can't afford to lose. If we do, America is over. -- And the clock is running.

(16,992 posts)and his job is to keep OUR eyes on him while the rest of his party and bagmen destroy the republic and loot the treasury.
that's why some of his first words after running were: "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and nothing would happen to me"
he's been promised forever immunity as long as he keeps the dogs running.
Ask yourself, Who are the billionaires going to run if he's doesn't? Who's going to pop out of the shadows and take his place?
Deathsentence desantis might be one of the candidates but what about the mid country people. Who are they grooming and hiding?

(10,635 posts)given them permission to be vengeful, mean, and racist. Before this pestilence was unleashed, the crazies stayed out of sight. And now America looks ugly and stupid.
Thanks, Trump!

(15,388 posts)people who will worship and vote for some madman blasting out farts from the podium. And it will continue unless and until sanity and intelligence become the norm. Check it out in a thousand years or so. (Unless, of course, we destroy our planet's ability to sustain life well before then.)

(15,388 posts)Cotton, Cruz, Hawley, DeSantis. -- These are the current Republican thugs lined up to win/steal the Oval Office. None of them is an ignorant buffoon like, TFG, who thinks he's going to get another shot at it. But all of them are arrogant, cruel, dangerous, and soulless.
