Isn't it amazing...

[myohmy2]

...given enough time, money and determination how one person could fuck up the world...

...the world was more fragile than I thought...

...amazing...

1. "...how one person could fuck up the world..."

Those who voted for that person are just as responsible.

2. As well as

those who are enabling him.

Especially the Roberts Supreme Court - well six of them at least.

3. It is amazing, and the bad thing is he isn't finished.

He does whatever he wants, when he wants to, and no one seems to know how to stop the madness. There has never been anyone like him and when this is over, and it will be at some point, the US had better get some laws in place that will prevent another tyrant like him running rampant over the Constitution. That is assuming we have a country left.

6. "..no one seems to know how to stop the madness."

No one is willing to stop him. Congress could stop him today if they chose to do so.

7. What's really frightening is that...

we're only in the opening scenes of this hellish nightmare!

[malaise]

4. He has many accomplices

That’s the real problem

5. I've a feeling that after all is said and done, trump and putin will be considered

the two greatest impediments to human progress in the first half of the 21st century. Their desire for money and power at the expense of anything else will be their own signature on their gilded polyethylene headstones.

10. I think you're right

And there are plenty of lower level autocrats who have also contributed.

[WmChris]

8. Really?

We need to aggressively shift the blame to the whole Republican party and their supporters/ voters. This maniac and his henchmen couldn't reek havoc on our nation without their fascist ill-informed base.

[PatSeg]

9. Yes, that mindboggling thought occurs to me quite often

Not to mention that the man who is bringing down the world is hardly the charismatic genius I would have envisioned. How can such a barely literate person with no impulse control cause so much damage in such a short period of time?

I have really learned to appreciate what a successful democracy we once had in spite of its many flaws.
