A cogent observation.
We should understand the bizarre episode of the past election and first 11 months of the Trump Presidency as a warning of our terrible vulnerability and the fragile nature of our American Republic. We have gone from being one the most stable and respected Western nations to one of the least. Although it is not yet apparent to many, the Country's future as a stable democratic republic hangs by a thread. We have been attacked by a foreign power that has successfully waged and won a war of disinformation against our politicians and core institutions. The Country is now led by a thrice bankrupt business man with a reputation for fraud and deceit, a man who has been embroiled in over four thousand lawsuits, a demagogue who, although sworn to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, is in conflict with it and the Nations Institutions. He tells his constituents that the political process, a process by which he himself was elected, is "rigged"; he disparages the integrity of our Intelligence Community, State Department, and FBI; he refers to our public servants as "very bad people"; he incites violence at his rallies; he disparages the press and calls its exposure of his constant lies "fake news"; he appoints as agency heads those who will dismantle the agencies they head; he appoints judges and advisors on the basis of loyalty instead of experience and qualifications; and now he supports a U.S. Senate Candidate that has twice been removed from the Alabama Supreme Court; a man who is a morally bankrupt liar like himself.
Exactly. The right wingers don’t understand who Donald Trump is and what he is doing. They are completely blind to all the damage being done to this country just as long as they get policies that hurt poor people and minorities. They want the circus.
