Ohhh, I need some support...

41. It's just one more thing that trump has destroyed.

He's nothing but a big orange chipper-shredder. In go our institutions. In goes our standing in the world. In goes the value of our word. In go our laws. In go our poor and needy and non-whites. In goes our social safety net - our Social Security and Medicare. In go our decency and self-respect. In go our hopes and dreams - unless what we hope for and dream of is democracy diminished, maybe to the point of utter destruction. If what you want is an autocracy, man are you getting it.

On further edit -
I'd say "if what you THINK you want is an autocracy, man are you getting it. I bet few of the trumpers and other assorted apologists and excuse-niks really understand what that is, and how someone accustomed to a "small-d" democratic system would feel under the rule of an autocracy. Like his pal Putin has, dontchaknow. Veritably appointing himself a kind of "president for life". Um - didn't they have elections? And what happens to whoever is ill-fated enough to run against him?

Zat what you want, trump-lovers? Seriously? What if it starts hitting close to home (you know, the way COVID-19 has for too many of us)?
