The answer to why he does what he does is very simple: No one with the power to do something ever does something

They have tried, but never quite hard enough or with tactics effective enough.

I fear Mother Nature will run her course before any human can hold him accountable.

He's a ruthless sociopath, a career criminal and no one's ever stopped him.

In fact he's been rewarded amply for his many many crimes.

All despots are basically interchangeable. Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Mousselini the Orange and so on.

They use the fascist playbook.

Get religionists and oligarchs with you, bribe and blackmail politicians, and ride racism, antisemitism and misogyny to get the raw meat lovers behind you.

A quicker end limits the damage. Hitler did one right thing. He killed Hitler.

Right now, hope for listeria burgerensis to limit damage, and LEARN FOR THE NEXT CHARGE of the only-white brigade.

FOR THE ELECTION, they have ONLY culture wars. Any diversion from this will serve.

Or ask people what future they want. This one?
Hardly.

• Government dictates what you read, your religion and your private life. Period trackers mandatory, and report to the government. I call it "tubal litigation"

• More welfare for the rich.

• Americans pitted against each other along lines of race, color, religion, gender and income. Vilification of blacks, Jews, Muslims, homeless, and women of strength, with increasing violence, even murder against them.

• Private health care companies deny needed treatments to save money. (Death panels are here!)

• The wealthy pay even less in taxes.

• Every civil right is eroded by clown judges living in the 18th century rewriting the constitution.

• Worker's rights and benefits reduced in order to create greater profits for businesses.

• Safety nets removed, so that homeless, and jobless people are left to die on the streets.

• More, more, more of culture war.

• GUNS, everywhere, with no limitations or requirements. Kids get them freely.

• Minorities and women blamed for every imaginable blip.

• Support of authoritarian regimes across the globe, who eagerly imprison, "re-educate", murder and commit atrocities on others.

• Lies, hate speech and threats are welcomed on "social media" and given support by government officials.

• Medical care and prescription drug costs skyrocket.
