Have you all noticed not one fucking republican has come out

And denounced what this fascist dictator is doing turning the country into a police state.

Do people see now why there was never a reason to even discuss who you’re going to vote for because it’s a two party system and one party are patriots and the other party is not.

The entire Republican party establishment, their big money mega-donors and our lapdog corporate media are all in on this fascist takeover of our country. Trump is merely a figurehead - their useful idiot - put in place to distract us with his endless scandals and relentless chaos, while the monied interest who actually run the GOP go about raping, pillaging and plundering what remains of America.

3. That too. Of course the piece of shit has wanted to hurt Barack Obama

And Michelle Obama ever since that night Barack made fun of him, and he’s always wanted to deport or put in prison or kill all Black people in America. Now he includes all liberals or Democrats or progressives that don’t support him.

I and others said these things years ago but we were told we were over the line and ridiculous and so on.

8. Trump is a crazed junkyard dog (my apologies to junkyard dogs), sicced on Biden, Obama and anyone else

who slighted him in the past, viciously settling old scores and satiating the bloodlust of his most violent MAGA followers. The Republican party establishment could put a stop to all this today, but they've unleashed Trump, allowing him to run wild because he serves the interests of those in charge.

means to be a conservative (witness their greatly increased spending budget $ amounts, some $4 trillion dollars or so).

it was always BS, have known that since I was a young person in the early 90s.

The country was just different then and they had to "market" everything in a more palatable manner, so they cooked up this "conservative" legend.

But, this is basically what they always wanted - to tear down our democratic government, our social assistance programs and civil rights protections.

For no good reason other than ... well, being hateful.

They watch Faux Snooze, too, and they know their base is very upset with homelessness and the things that go with it. Until something bad happens to someone who they consider to be totally innocent, they won't utter a peep.
