I watch this all with stunned amazement. A spectacle to be sure.

But it's hard to believe that this is where we're at in 2019.
Really? Has the human race devolved?
I believe that justice will prevail, but I still can't believe the absurdity
of what's going on.

Not sure we've devolved - I think the devolved faction has been emboldened by the orange ignoramus.

This is certainly not our species' finest hour, that's for sure. In fact, we may not survive this one.

The counter culture expired and the Reagan admin.

Trump is the result of the passage of time where society has no real understanding of what fascist are.

European fascism has faded in importance and value to many in this country.

The fundie right has been working toward a Trump for decades.

We all "know" that it wasn't supposed to be this way. Reminds me of the Bradbury story "A Sound of Thunder."

Starring an unserious tabloid figure. A few grains of truth buried in loads of bullshit and hype and advertising. I'm surprised the Tabloid Republicans haven't yet told their believers that the DemocRAT Party has been taken over by aliens. ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!
