24. This shit is getting serious

It took like 8 years for GW Bush to totally fuck up the country, and here Trump and the GOP are not even a month in.

Seriously, we got a president who is in WAY over his head but is too bull headed and paranoid to trust anybody who could help him.

There is a real question as far as whether he is either cooperating or being blackmailed by Russia or if they just used his presidency to put a lot of their guys near him in the admin.

Then the GOP congress is so fixated on reversing stuff Obama did but they can't figure out what he hell to do. They all got elected by spouting meaningless talk radio bullshit, and then all they did was oppose Obama for the last 8 years so they have no idea how to do anything. All the old but semi intelligent republicans we used to have are gone and have been run out save a few.

I keep questioning myself, "Am I just being partisan and believing fake news??" But I keep going over all the stuff trying to tell myself we've been thru it before but instead it just makes me way more worried.

We really needed Clinton to win. As a party the GOP has become totally incompetent.

Trump and the GOP are putting us in a worse death spiral than Bush, and it's not just that they are pursuing conservative things, it's they are incapable of running the country.
