86. I wonder when pundits say the people wont take it

Dec 2024

how they think they will stop it. How do you stop a president who thinks he is no longer bound by elections and laws, a malignant narcissist who can't conceive of other people's pain? We don't really expect to storm the White House do we?

Can the wrath of the people at least reach the people who must support Trump to make his crimes happen?
Are we stronger than Putin's Russia and Hitler's Germany? Will we in the end refuse to do what the demagogue demands?
