(42 posts)Yes, Trump and his cabal are criminals, thieves, and raging reactionaries who belong in prison. They are not the only ones. Laser focus on Trump and his clan takes away from the broader picture of what made Trump and right-wing barbarism possible. The right-wing takeover of this country has been a long time in the making. Trump was the vehicle to advance their wish list. The problem is much deeper and wider than Trump. The left had better get its house in order to challenge that deeper problem. There can be no social and economic justice by meeting raging right-wing reactionaries in the middle. If you have the power you use it. Simply getting rid of Trump to get "back to normal" isn't enough. Normal wasn't very good for millions to begin with.
