@JoyAnnReid
In the end, what the Trump administration will be most remembered for, besides the corruption, is the cruelty. Particularly the cruelty toward children.

A 16-yr-old boy died in Border Patrol custody. He had the flu

They didn't take him to the hospital
They didn't release him
They didn't even seem to check on him as he was dying

not only cruelty toward children, but toward immigrants, Muslims, transgenders, women, etc, etc.

1. the whole GOP wallows in cruelty

2. Indeed.

3. Without diminishing the horrors inflicted on the children

and their parents, History and remembrance of the Trump Regime will be for massive and dangerous trampling on the Constitution and the Rule of Law, destruction of historical norms, unparalleled corruption at Cabinet level, as well as bringing the Republic to the brink of fascism and dictatorship. If he and the complicit Republicans win in 2020 we will cross over that brink.

4. Or they'll be in charge of writing the history books, and

will describe themselves as liberators of the oppressed and as tireless advocates for the downtrodden.

We vote, we decide (in spite of Russia's aiding the GOP).

5. It's a psychological disconnect...

When you dehumanize children at the border or blame them for being in their position, ignoring and disavowing responsibility for their suffering is rendered so much easier.
