43. Criticize me all you want

But it's never been about just the last couple of years. People that know and follow Trump have been trying to draw attention to his criminality for decades.

I've repeatedly said that I am actively campaigning for Biden but I'm not not going to underestimate Trump or pretend what is happening is good or normal. We have twice impeached, indicted criminal and rapist and pedophile that could become president for a second time. Even if convicted. On any of all of the charges.

Right now Maga Trumpers control the majority of state legislatures and are using that power to warp everything to their grand design. No matter what happens to him, this insanity, this chaos, this mad push to a totalitarian theocracy, is not going away. If anything it's just getting started.
So I'm not being "negative". I'm living in the real world where Trump is still a viable threat and the threat of and a rightwing totalitarian theocracy is not tinfoil hat nightmare but completely within the realm of possiblity. I will plan and act accordingly to protect my family as much as I can while understanding that I am stuck and will fight the good fight as long as I can.
