in the recession of 08-09. We don't get to persecute people for their political beliefs in a democracy. Bear Stearns is gone Lehman Brothers is gone. Deutsche Bank is not a US bank. Wynn, Adelson, the Koch brothers, and even Robert Mercer were not big players in the recession.
This isn't Putin's Russia, we have no history of totalitarian government to use an excuse for supporting Trump. and most of us don't.
