It's tough being a MAGA apologist. You work so hard confecting rationalizations. Then Trump just blurts the truth that you supposed it was your job to conceal.
Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
Donald Trump is not a political genius or a genius of any kind. He ran for president out of pure narcissism and accidentally tapped into a thick, rich vein of American stupid.
Translation: Most of my colleagues and I realize that Donald Trump is destroying the country — but we’re terrified to say or do anything because all we care about is getting reelected and holding onto our power.
Cowards. All of them
Yes, the captain intentionally piloted the ship into a huge iceberg, cracking the vessel like an egg.
But the officers insist we'll all greatly benefit from an invigorating midnight swim through Arctic waters.
Let’s live in the real, fact-based world.
Since taking office, Donald Trump has done more to weaken America than any president in US history.
-He’s plunged America into a historic economic crisis, destroying trillions of dollars of wealth, advised by a criminal who is considered a joke and fraud by every serious economist.
-He’s weakened America’s national security by appointing unqualified amateurs who are focused on pleasing Trump, not defending America.
-He’s weakened America by attacking the concept of rule by law, attacking law enforcement professionals, and supporting domestic terrorists who assault law enforcement.
-He’s weakened America by withdrawing from the international order that has helped make America the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
-He’s weakened America by appointing medical quacks to lead our national health, killing lifesaving research at the advice of a long-time heroin addict.
What’s the result?
Today, America is poorer, less healthy, and less secure. Our enemies have been rewarded, our allies punished. Trump has succeeded in damaging America in ways even our worst enemies could never have imagined.
The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.
And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.
It's fascism.
Call it what it is.
Trump was absolutely right about who we are as a nation. Absolutely fucking right. We are exactly as shitty as he told us we are.
Democrats need to learn this.
"To me it is beyond clear that people who revered Reagan, people who voted for the Bushes, who voted for McCain, who voted for Romney, this is not your guy, this is not your party. Don't just stay out of some kind of old loyalty because it's not the same institution."-Jon Meacham
