There are no words for how completely crazy it is that this country is apparently unable to stop Trump from a second try at seizing power, even when he fucking announces his intentions to be a goddamned DICTATOR publicly.

Trump seems unstoppable because GOP billionaire donors, both foreign & domestic, spent decades & millions laying a fertile soil for fascism to grow.

Bradley, a John Birch member, was so enraged by the Voting Rights Act, he founded the Bradley Foundation to reverse it

That zombie trust fund money won with a John Robert's SCOTUS

If Bradley & Barre Seid could overturn 50 years of precedent, imagine what Koch's $5 billion will do to democracy & the planet in the coming decades.

@Green_Footballs I have heard the secret to his power is that he gives licence to people to be their worst selves.

That has huge appeal to all the narcissists. Even the evangelicals have abandoned their Jesus to follow Trump. It's probably the secret of fascism - why be a boring office clerk when you can act out all your desires as an SS camp guard.

@Green_Footballs we already stopped him once, and we will again.

Thank You. I'm having the same thought.
It's crazy the level of denial of trump supporters to think that such a deranged criminal should be POTUS. SMH

@Green_Footballs the media, most of them, still cover this like it’s some kind of normal race. They all need to be saying “flat out, this guy wants to be a dictator. Can you vote for a dictator?”

@Green_Footballs Like I said the greedy and selfish who control it all are willing to go to any extremes to keep it that way.

Not "unable".

Unwilling.

The establishment always has to make sure there are enough barbarians at the gate to keep us too scared to get uppity.

@Green_Footballs If he wins it'll be exactly what the Greed State wants.

@Green_Footballs Its what the greedy and selfish wants or he'd already be in jail.

@Green_Footballs The room full of files should have been the end. How is he still walking free? Are they so scared of the consequences of locking him up?

@Tattered @Green_Footballs the second time he stiffed his contractors in the 80s should have put him in jail for the first time.

He should have been back in jail every six months since then for various financial crimes, rapes and sexual assaults.

This is a failure of New York state to enforce their laws on the rich.

None of our institutions are equipped for this. None.

@Green_Footballs

This is what happens when people accept a political system in which a candidate with fewer votes can win an election and then appoint judges and justices, including those that can delay his criminal trials and those that can decide if he is allowed to run again.
