Chaos was always the goal.

“I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.”
With Trump as “a symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose,” it got “very bad, very bad” inside the Masjid Al Noor mosque in Christchurch as the killer live-streamed the attack on Facebook. “Let’s get this party started.” The helter-skelter slaughter came with its own Manson-esque manifesto, promising the race war Charles failed to jump start in Amerikkka.
‘With enough pressure the left wing within the United States will seek to abolish the second amendment, and the right wing within the U.S. will see this as an attack on their very freedom and liberty.
'This attempted abolishment of rights by the left will result in a dramatic polarization of the people in the United States and eventually a fracturing of the US along cultural and racial lines.'
The difference between this act of madness and the summer of 1969, is these days we have a racist prick occupying the Oval, not-so-subtly suggesting violence himself — while live-tweeting his own insane manifesto each day.
It’s incapable of what humans call compassion — or perhaps Donald is just every bit as awkward as you’d expect someone to be who has never–once–given a second thought to anyone but himself. Who sends “warmest sympathy” to the victims of a tragedy? It’s as if staff brought in a collection of Hallmark “So Sorry You Were Shot” greeting cards and he just mixed and matched some words into a tweet. “Best wishes?!” Holy shit.
“My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless all!”
It’s not going to take much to justify the takeover. We’re living under a state of “national emergency,” let’s recall. Yesterday’s vote won’t survive a veto – because there’s plenty of time between now and the next vote to yank the leash and remind the GOP strays of what happens when the trail of campaign contributions leads back to the Kremlin. Whatever Trump has on Lindsey Graham has got to be truly epic kompromat — as he single-handedly kneecapped the House resolution to release the Mueller Report, because “her emails.” It’s true.
Chaos was always the goal. Tearing it down from the inside was the only way it was possible and Putin’s puppet is playing his part to perfection. The baby is beneath the bath water, as Grover predicted. Democracy is dying as the media plays a ratings game for profit and the shock jock in the bully pulpit is just getting warmed up. He LIVES for this.
This is not normal. It’s past time to choose sides. Stop sharing bullshit which disparages Democrats and remember which side of the barricades you occupy this primary season. “Like a diseased tick on the ass-end of democracy” is how I described Trump when he first came into office. It’s so much worse than I imagined. Through it all, I have yet to use his name and the word president in the same sentence. I don’t plan to, either.
When Trump says, “I have the support of the police, the support of the military ...” you say, I, (state your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” Everything else is superfluous. Godwin’s Law is obsolete. Hyperbole died on a golden escalator. Hitler gave “legal orders,” too. Courage, citizens.

“You know, the left plays a tougher game, it’s very funny. I actually think that the people on the right are tougher, but they don’t play it tougher. Okay? I can tell you I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump — I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point, and then it would be very bad, very bad.”
