I never absolved trump of anything. You say trump is the problem. The world is full of trumps. Lying, sociopathic assholes who are stupid as hell. The only bother those who chose to be with them. The problem is when people that you don't know (read about trump's money supporters) and the gullible idiots who work from places of hate and greed elevate them to positions of power.
You endow trump with way too much intelligence and cunning. He is an idiot. Republicans have offered up puppet idiots to president beginning with reagan.
If you give the people who are truly responsible for the travesty that has been foisted on America a pass, you are simply short sighted. If trump is all you want gone then you don't understand what is going on. This is not the work of one man, no matter how super intelligent and cunning you think he is. Once trump is no longer the president, the problems that have come from the idiots coming to power will still be there. There will be another trump, possibly one more clever and socially acceptable than this one. Then another and then another.
You say the at the people who voted for trump are not your enemy, but then you say that the GOP must go. Who do you think the GOP is? It is the people who voted for trump. I am part of the Democratic Party. They are part of the GOP.
Look. I know trump can make people blindingly, raging crazy. But don't take you eyes off the fact that to vote for trump twice means that you are stupid, racist, misogynist, selfish, mean, homophobic, xenophobic. Pick all that apply. My enemy are those people. Their votes are what got us here. They need a candidate that meets all those criteria. Once trump is gone, they will just get another. Think past next Tuesday.
