We all know that Trump is dangerously incompetent. He is a mean, self-centered psychopath whose

[Atticus]

greed is exceeded only by his arrogance. But, so what, right?

Although we agree that he is terrible and just may destroy us, we seem to be unable---or unwilling---to let ourselves publicly declare that "We are mad as hell and we're not going to take this any more!" That would be "extreme" and "impolite" and---tsk-tsk!---"inappropriate". I think the fascists in the Trump regime are DEPENDING on our "niceness".

And, I think that a little "smash-mouth" politics would not just be effective, it would have goose-steppers like Miller and Gorka wetting themselves.

1. I agree

we have to stop being the party of "if they go low we go high".. I'm sorry Michele but we are not in a "normal" election cycle..I feel like we have to reclaim "truth justice and the American way" (Superman)...it's time for confrontation..demand facts not bullshit..the impeachment hearings were "nice"...the BLM took to the streets...we have to take it to every media outlet and if we have to be shrill about it so what! No more euphemisms...call Trump a liar, a murderer, a conman..make Mitch, Susan, Marco, Ted and the rest of the ass kissing enablers defend Trump's verbal diarrhea on the air instead of allowing them to walk away...

2. Suspect the DNC may be thinking along similar lines. Dems recently

have upped their game. The Lincoln Project ads are paving the way.

3. I think the democrats are far too nice and soft. The GOP sees this as a weakness as does often the

general populace. Trump and his gang are assholes and sadly, that is how they have to be treated. The high road low road makes no sense to me. There have to be some really nasty hateful attacks on Trump and his gang of hoodlums and gangsters. I think the Lincoln Project has the right approach. I'm so fed up with Trump being an obnoxious asshole and not called out. Yes, I do not like this approach, but I think the democrats need to start playing real hardball to put this mother fucker back in his place.

4. My worst fear is that Biden wins and then does a Jerry Ford.

(Worst fear other than Trump winning somehow.) I don't think he would do it, but these people from Trump on down cannot get away with this.

5. OMG, what a horrible thought!!! n/t

6. Declare away! Declarations have no effect.

Supposedly, he was legally elected. If we reject legal election, we are rejecting democracy. People in the Trump administration are relying on our belief in democracy. The question is, can we get rid of Trump and still maintain a democracy?

Personally, after the election of Trump, I question the efficacy of democracy. But, if not democracy, what?

7. You may "suppose" that Trump was "legally elected". I do not and have never. nt

8. Your suppositions have as much effect as your declarations.

9. Hear, hear!

I am so tired of people being civil to that evil, abusive POS. Someone, or many someones, really need to let him have it and give him back what he gives out. They need to call him out on every lie, admonish him on his childish and whiny behavior and treat him like the disrespectful, abusive asshole that he is.

I don't care if he has the title of "President". He doesn't act like one so why should anyone treat him with the respect that a normal President would be treated with?

He's a vulgar, corrupt, grifting thug and people need to start seeing him that way instead of as "The Leader of the Free World" because he is no such thing. He does nothing, he is nothing and he deserves nobody's respect.

Besides, I think if someone really confronted him and treated him the way he treats others, he would probaby wet himself and run away crying like a little girly man.
