We are facing a fascist authoritarian regime


That is systematically handing our government over to the highest bidder.
Much like Yeltsin did to Russia that created Putin's power.

So we're hand ringing about a comedian??

Focus.
Keep our eyes on the real threat.

Our system of government has not yet succumbed to the President's agenda, our two houses of Congress have not yet been shut down by the Republican majority, and the Judicial branch is still standing firm. The military has not stepped in to give Trump total power, our justice and intelligence agencies are working to bring him down, not to hold him up. Yes, Trump and his Republican running dogs are doing their best to establish a fascist authoritarian regime, but they have not even come close yet. We are not down for the count, we are fighting back and holding our own. If this was a fascist totalitarian regime, Mueller and Comey would have been shot or jailed, the Clintons would have been shot or jailed, every Democrat and journalist would have been shot or jailed. Taker a deep breath and hunker down.
