Schwab: Those loyal to Trump, even now, are the problem

By Sid Schwab / Herald columnist

As Donald Trump’s unfitness and venality become more apparent every day, there’s someone emerging who’s an even greater danger. It’s you.

Yes, if you still support him, it’s you. You’re the reliable enabler of his cyclonic destruction. He knows it. He counts on you to let him get away with his uncaring ruination, and unless you tear off the blinders, broaden your sources of information, you remain inextricably part it.

If you’re unbothered after what’s happened even in just the last few days, you can’t claim to care about America or the rule of law (the actual rule of law, not Trump’s counterfactual “law and order” campaign doublespeak). Not to mention the health of our planet and people. Ask yourself if you’d have been equally unbothered had President Obama done what Trump is doing.

Consider Roger Stone, the smirking embodiment of Republican electoral trashing since the resignation of the malefactor whose face is tattooed on his back. For decades, he’s gloated about his lies and corruption. Convicted by a jury, unanimously, of seven felonies, ones that threaten the integrity of our justice system — obstructing Congress, perjury, witness intimidation — all to hide Trump’s crimes, Trump let him off, and he’s gloating even more. “He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him,” he said. “But I didn’t.”

The republican lack of action on climate change alone would be a deal-breaker for any caring, responsible adult.

IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PEOPLE DYING!

It's their fault we cannot keep this virus under control. They are so fucking stupid they still believe any bullshit that comes out of Trump's anus-like face. And so selfish, they don't care about other people getting sick. At all.
