Trump just wears people down

Like any classic abuser, Trump simply wears people down psychologically and bullies them into submission. He drains people emotionally and makes them feel powerless to stop his behavior.

Both him and his fascist enablers have bombarded the American public with so much BS the past 8 years a majority don't know which end is up anymore or what is real.

The sad fact is that no matter what happens in November, Trump has permanently changed America. There's no going back to the way things were pre-2016.

We're stuck with a regressive, extremist Supreme Court for at least a decade. And the very fact that Trump is going to be the Republican presidential nominee again despite all his criminal and corrupt acts proves his anti-democratic crusade has been successful.

I don't know if Trump voters have stockholm syndrome, are masochistic or don't believe they deserve someone better. But the fact they think Trump is their friend and Joe Biden is their enemy is tragic.

In November Americans can either choose to dump this abusive sociopath once and for all or sign up for 4 more years of his mental cruelty and instability. Hopefully we make the sane decision and kick this lunatic out of the house. 😬

Of course that’s always the case, life and society are always evolving. But the changes brought about by trump are for the worse. If TSF gets back in power the US as we know it is done. But I think the RW have rallied around him not because they agree with him but to increase their own power. If trump were to get back in the WH, especially if it’s thru violence, he won’t last long. Once he’s established the new version of America his usefulness will be reduced, someone with more brains will take his place.

2. No, but getting rejected twice might finally get through to him that it's over

because he's still not king. In fact, it might make him grouchy enough to flee the country, if he's still out of jail and holding one of his John Barron passports.

In exile or in prison, it will be either too expensive or too difficult to get interviews and he'll be gone.

That's what it's going to take.

4. Three days later, his cult followers will claim he never died...and never will.

In their minds, he'll be off somewhere playing golf and boffing young blonde women and laughing at the libs.
Seriously, the really frightening part about him is that he brought out the hate-filled, Nazi part of most Republicans that they either kept hidden or didn't know was in themselves.
