16. The Republican party has become a criminal organization right before our eyes

They don't even try to hide it anymore.

They are banking on the masses not paying attention to their crimes.

I've long felt we get the government we deserve.

If the electorate can't get their faces out of their electronic devices or their hearts away from endless white superiority long enough to see these criminals destroying our country in plain sight we will all end up in the scrap heap of history.

If these crimes can stand we are headed for strongman rule.

It's really hard to get your mind around.
