Chump has a very specific skill set. Lying. Cheating. Grifting. Not the sort of talents that lend itself to coping with a complex modern world with a lot of problems. But...people voted for him anyway. Now we have to put up with this crap for another 3.5 years.

None of this discontent or dawning realization is relevant to maga-gop’s hold on power. People voluntarily gave maga-gop control of the federal government and maga-gop will not relinquish this power. Ever. Elections are not a means for federal power transfer anymore. Nor are they in red states. Only 1% of our population are activists. The rest are acquiescing/enabling the dictator trump to definitively consolidate his authoritarian rule. Whomever becomes our dictator after he dies will achieve that position through violence (with perhaps a faux election for appearance’s sake). That violence might be limited to the throne-contenders but will probably be extended to the few that dare to meaningfully, albeit futilely, resist. I don’t derive hope from any cowardly, hesitant, wriggly-squirmy half-epiphany that geeeee all that suffering people heartily approved for everyone else is now going to miserably crush them and their descendants for generations. Because they won’t actually do anything to resist and even if they did, it’s too late. Our ruthless, unscrupulous oppressors now control the biggest economy and military in the history of the world.

I love Border Chronicle and this article is interesting. So no criticism to you all. Just bitter frustration and despair at the permanently self-destructive beings most of us are and forever will be. But I’ll stand with you in this darkness; let’s just shine as brightly as we can.
