Re: Trump Thread
@Montmorency
My apologies. You have been correct all along and I have been wrong.
Trump is not among the worst Presidents. He makes Buchannan look benign and Harding competent. He has done, directly and indirectly, more to damage our institutions and our republican democracy than any other person to hold that office. I thought we would hold up fine and move forward after 4 years of drecky administration. We will be decades recovering from it instead.
His core supporters do not seek to reform the government, but to trash it. The most ardent of those, who stormed the Capitol today to stop the Constitutionally mandated process of the elections, have gone further and actively attacked our government and Constitution. This is not protest but sedition. Trump has allowed this to fester, has even nurtured it. That is anathema.
The very persons so enamored of Rush Limbaugh's trumpeting of "American Exceptionalism" have today trashed the idea entirely. We are no better than the next developing semi-democracy and need two battalions of troops and a host of police just to get the votes counted under the threat of reactionary thugs.
I am ashamed.
Any Republican Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Senator, or Representative currently in office should be recalled or voted out at the earliest opportunity for allowing this cancer on our Constitution to spread.
