He'd be nothing without those who created him. He'd be the same old depraved, Doonesbury-material joke and no doubt fighting off more bankruptcies. They did at his request, of course, eagerly lapping up his hatemongering, demonization, and grievance swilling. They wanted to.

They cheered all his treasonous promises and crimes against humanity and demanded more, participated defiantly in a Republican holocaust that killed over a million and a quarter Americans, and are passionate in their demands for him to fulfill his promises to them by imprisoning Democratic opponents and overthrowing the government.

WHAT THEY'VE BECOME is what we're fighting, and if it broke us to save our nation and our futures from them we'd have to do it. Over a million Americans have already died in their first holocaust. And in strict monetary terms, stopping them is investment with huge paybacks over the coming years. Dictatorships mean struggling nations with oppressed, impoverished populations -- oh, and inevitably and always, persecuted minorities to keep what they've become satisfied and their anger diverted away from the leader.
