Many say it can get no worse, some say we are already doomed. Maybe we are, but I still think the Independents and Dems will prevail in November - always the optimist, and agree with you that these wingnuts are getting brasher and seem to be more secure in their rhetoric because the real world is not moving fast enough toward stopping it, and I mean really stopping it. Many have already crossed the line and should have already been arrested, but they are still on the stump spreading their racist hate and Fascist ideology. Many Dems are trying, but they are still coming across as wanting everybody to cumbaya and it just ain't going to happen. It sounds like revolution, but I think that all these wingnuts should be rounded up, charged with the crimes they have committed and are committing every day, put them on house arrest and wait until they can be heard in a court of law, or they can admit their crimes and move on. So simple (really isn't that simple - I know), but the frustration of these jackasses continuing to get away with destroying the rights of everyone hopefully is growing amongst the mostly silent majority. These ignorant white supremist can't see that - they only see their "power," which they don't really have, being taken away. Where I live (East Tennessee) the poorest and less educated support Trump with flags on their pickups and signs in their yards as if he is a savior. If they would only take the time to listen to reason (what's that?) maybe they could back down a bit. OK, rants over. Thanks Steven for giving guys and gals like me an opportunity to ventilate. Few listens in my world.
Oh, ...it can get worse. It probably will get worse, because I have a feeling Trump’s just getting warmed up. Don’t forget that he’s a sociopath. Hurting others is thrilling for him. Remember how taken he was with Kim Jong un-a leader who reveled in torturing people & how he venerated Dutarte, a president who randomly shot his constituents to death on the street. Then there’s MBS, another head of state who enjoys torturing & killing people who criticize him. These three Heads of State thrill Trump. He even said out loud that he wanted Americans to be as terrified of him as North Koreans are of Kim Jong-un. That’s his role-model. So, Trump hasn’t yet unleashed his full depravity, but he will if he’s pushed far enough. I just hope the people who are in a position to do something about him understand that.
Sorry, but I do not feel the people who are responsible for stopping Trump and his minions understand what will happen or how to stop it. Our only hope is the election. Voting is the best offense at this time, which is scary as hell.
They may not understand. He’s capable of extreme depravity-I’m talking Saddam Hussein,
Hitler level atrocities-but I doubt he’ll have the same cooperation from the people around him as Hussein & Hitler had. One thing is for sure-by allowing Trump more legal leeway than ordinary people would be allowed, no matter how minor it may be, they are helping him build his power.

It’s chilling to hear those awful words in your voice. It shows us how starkly deranged they are when Trump’s voice and theatrics are stripped away.
Thanks for saying so. It was strange to voice the deranged words.
