as fucked up as he is. Fucked up because in every other respect they are just like us but with respect to trump they don’t care about how fucked up he is.

Trump will be gone at some point and how much damage there is to fix we do not know yet, but trump’s base will not help fix things because they will never understand why it is needed.

I think it is so sad that almost half of our country cannot understand how bad things are.
