Trump sparks a cringe among attentive and freedom-loving earthlings almost every time he opens his mouth or clicks post, and in turn he impedes everything we’re trying to achieve here.
And it goes all the way back.
Proudly lie and question the whole notion of truth? Check
Get friendly with murderous totalitarian dictators? Check
Get laughed at by the rest of the free world’s leaders? Check
Refer to Nazis as “very fine people”? Check
Flood your administration with sycophants and family and no one else? Check
Use up and discard your friends and loved ones at your whim? Check
Run several businesses into bankruptcy? Check
Openly mock a 16-year-old Nobel laureate, Time person-of-the-year-winner and Asperger’s syndrome sufferer? Check (!)
There are a lot more, and they’re all ugly. They all cause that same worldwide cringe.
And then a lot of the world’s dictators and tyrants start to grin.
He plays right into their hands. All the lies they tell about America, all the slanderous and false propaganda they push about One Party Rule and how anything else is doomed to fail, all of them are brought to stage by his leering face and unhinged mouth and mind and fingers.
He never apologizes, for anything.
He literally says he’s the best, at everything.
He exemplifies the worst of the human animal.
And we elected him President.
All this is very convenient for those who want to hold onto that One Party Rule, who spit on the whole notion of a “President”, and who want to keep their boots to the throats of any who would resist them.
Then there are his allies and enablers here at home.
Most Republicans and right-leaning Americans have dutifully fallen in line with him, and despite all those facts above, in some cases because of them, they continue to speak his praise and say “libtards” and “fake news” and “Never Trumper Deepstate” in response, per his direct encouragement. Online threads and social media abound with their proudly ruinous bullshit, and from the stars-n-bars redneck down the street to the thrice-damned Senate Majority Leader they’re a lot more likely these days to proudly wear their MAGA hats and display their “F**k your feelings” signs right out for everyone to see.
Because, well, f**k your feelings.
Indeed many among them are nowadays a lot more friendly towards those same dictators and to that same notion of goosestepping One Party Rule, at least so long as those Rulers don't call themselves Democrats.
These things have taken an axe to the divide we Americans have between us, and Donald J Trump has seemed very happy to swing that axe again and again and again.
What does that mean? Who knows for sure. We can’t know whether Trump is just a useful idiot being controlled by proxy, or whether he really is some kind of active asset. I don’t know. To be clear I think the latter of those is very unlikely but at this point I just can’t say. His constant destructive drivel calls his whole MO into question.
All I know for sure is the effect he’s having on every aspect of global politics, and the smear he’s running over all that America stands for.
And I know the responsibilities we have:
DON’T. PANIC.
Focus.
Organize.
Act.
Get. Him. Out.
Get. THEM. Out.
As many and as fast as possible.
Impeach
