In reply to the discussion: What evil force drives and protects Trump? [View all]citizen blues
(570 posts)Trump has a kind of charisma that keeps drawing people in who are willing to fall on their swords for him.
He's also backed by a party that has embraced winning at all costs since the 60s. A party that has absolutely no hesitation to commit treason, lie, cheat, and steal their way into office. This issue is so much bigger than Trump. If it weren't for greedy oligarch wannabes hanging onto his faux coattails, he would be nobody.
The GOP has co-opted the evil greed of charismatic megachurch pastors who continually sucker people out their life savings. They have had decades of an all-out propaganda war through FOX and right-wing radio while at the same time, gutting the publishing industry.
The Republican party has been involved in an assault on and dismantling of American democracy for 50 years. This is a party that must be relegated to the history books. This is a party that we must see dismantled. This is a party that needs to be prosecuted from top to bottom for their crimes as a warning to future generations.
