I thought it was one man bringing fascism to our country but I was wrong.

Its a whole party. Every Republican who fails to hold Trump and others accountable to the rule of law is participating in our demise. And that is the sad state of the morally bankrupt GOP.

But I am profoundly distrubed that most of the GOP and average Americans are just find with the Russians tampering in the election. What the hell is going on?

Even Hitler had a lot of help. There are always people who attach themselves to a demagogue because they acquire power that way.

he has a lot of people that helped him get to this point so they can have direct control. Simply buying our politicians was not enough this time because they always want more, its never enough!

Because of this tendency, they will over-reach badly. They will turn many of their deluded following against them once these people realize they have been duped by the propaganda. The Republicans will eventually have to turn away from this administration in order to salvage themselves. We must all be motivated to oppose them at every turn and take advantage of their mistakes!

they are too busy to notice. They are indulging in a Bacchanalian feast upon all the social programs for the poor, starting with Obamacare.

It's been hard to get anybody's attention.

The Republicans started wrecking the country in the 1970s. They just get worse and worse as they get more and more power. I don't know why anybody votes for them.

Love an old Sinclair Lewis quote...."When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross".

Scary Times indeed.

The Republican Party is a party of fascists. Bringing Trump down is just one step in the right direction.
