We Will Have A Rogue Government The Next Four Years.

Trump & the GOP will end up being a rogue government. No matter how popular many programs are the GOP will scuttle and sell off the country. They are invincible in their mind because they believe they have complete control of the election process.

The GOP is a racist, bigoted, misogynistic and sociopathic party. And they are vicious.

So expect it all to be sold off to the highest bidder - education, police, the post office, every standards and corrections department, the military (oh wait, that happened under Bush)... And Trumpenfuror is putting people in place who will make it all happen.

Yes--that is their group personality, but paradoxically, many millions in the GOP do not truly fit that profile individually. Voting for Trump required them to abandon their morals and even turn their backs on the dictates of their religions--which they did AS MEMBERS OF A GROUP.

Despite huge internal divisions, they united against us AS A GROUP. Pressure from without (from us) is what kept that group from flying apart into warring factions. It's the only thing.

I wish we could have the viciously ruthless, unprincipled, hard-right apparatus working on our side for a couple elections. Or actually I don't. We're the good guys. We have to win good.
