What do we do? Be polite in the face of a demented anarchist with fascist delusions? Man, I hated Nixon, but he was a competent executive. Bush 1 was an entitled elitist who knew better but didn't do better (trickle down, he called it "voodoo economics" before he profited from it). But this is not the laughable "tRump Derangement Syndrome," this is an asshole of legendary proportions bent on the destruction of our constitutional republic all for his ego and to avoid prosecution for his crimes. Four years ago that sounded like hyperventilation, mouth breathing drama queen. Today? A quarter of this country is ready to burn it all down in support of a fascist. And people I knew and loved are wildly OK with this. I never would have guessed.
