TRUMP IS NOT AN ABERRATION. He Is Now Who We Are As A Nation. We Are Now Stuck With Him.

You can call Trump an aberration but it is not true. He is who we are as a nation. And this new abnormal is what we will have to live with going forward. He will be a part of our history whether we like it or no. And the GOP is who we are as a nation now. And the world will look at us as a "ship of fools". Repairing our reputation internationally will take years.

The problem is that so many dips hits voted for this miscreant. Enough voted for him to help the GOP absolutely steal this election. And we know it. There is no other conclusion that this election was a TOTAL fraud no matter how you add it up. Trump and the GOP took this election by illegal means and by colluding with Russian operatives. That includes the RNC, McConnel & Ryan.

Even if you did not vote for him he still speaks for all of us. And we can thank the Trump lovers for that. The fact that this new abnormal is being normalized by the weak media just adds to the disgrace.

Trump's power doesn't come from divinity or genetics, we all agree that he has it. We can take it away at any time... without violence, without rewriting the Constitution, etc.

But it does mean giving up our "respect for the office", I don't think there's enough people willing to do that unfortunately.

Millions of dollars are spent to protect criminals and other nazis behind riot police while they call for a nation of white people. These are Trumps "fine people".

This is a sick and fucked up country.
