(3,433 posts)Nearly every single objection you have about Trump can be turned around to focus on the real problem, the GOP is to blame. And they will be around long after Trump.

We can't let that happen again.

(115,899 posts)Hitler was able to convince maybe people (though not all of them) that he was going to restore Germany's greatness (sounds familiar, no?) in the years after WWI, in which it had been soundly defeated and was still going through very tough times. Our times are different, but Trump is every bit as much of a demagogue who has been able to convince a noisy and stupid minority of our people that the US is in terrible shape, even though it isn't, and that only he can fix it. Fortunately, we have access to information the German people under Hitler didn't have.

Trump is a symptom, not the disease. The GOP has been like this for decades. He's just more overt about it.

Donnie Shit for Brains isn't a Retrumplican!
Retrumplicans aren't even Retrumplicans!
We are witnessing the first AM Hate Radio president and political party .
Boycott and destroy this unfettered propaganda machine, and you'll destroy the Retrumplicans and Putin.
Yes! It really is that simple.
