Anyone else thinking Trump's Troops will end up being heavy in all the swing states?🤔

35. I respect your point, but ...

... I have always believed that Тяцмр is a puppet for fascist interests here at home as much as he is for Putin.

Look at the last 20 years, beginning with the 2000 election, and consider what the Republican Party has accomplished - from financial policies to foreign policies to domestic policies to wealth redistribution to redistricting to the makeup of the courts. They didn’t do all of that under a strategic initiative invented by Тяцмр. They are not stupid, inept or shortsighted. Тяцмр is, certainly, but they are not.

They have and are using him to achieve their goals. Bannon and Miller, just to name a couple, are evil fucks - but they have dedicated their lives to destroying what remains of this democratic republic, and they are pretty damn good at it. Do you think it was Тяцмр‘a idea to strip the leadership and career people from the federal agencies and departments top to bottom? Hell- I doubt he could NAME more that 3 federal agencies if you spotted him 2.

So any time someone posts that Тяцмр can’t do “this” or could never do “that”, I just shake my head and think “they haven’t been paying attention”. He WILL do whatever they tell him to do, and whether it’s legal or constitutional is beside the point. No, let me correct that - actually his actions being illegal or unconstitutional is precisely the point.

I think any declaration that our institutions will save us, or that we’re gonna be ok because Тяцмр is a blithering idiot, are misguided at present. Our only salvation is to overwhelm the vote in November. And sometimes I fear that may not be enough.
