We’re all fucked, and those of us who saw it coming long ago, and tried to warn the rest of you, aren’t necessarily feeling good about it now.

Look at all those money grabbing cowards who would rather capitulate than stand up, from Jimmy Fallon to The View, and there will be more.

A probable pedophile, adjudicated rapist, fascist felon has declared that if you are against fascism you are a terrorist. You now join people like Nelson Mandela and those who oppose genocide, racism, and celebrating hate mongers.

"Don’t normalize this, they said...Don’t normalize the dark spirits that have been unleashed. Don’t. But this is what the mainstream media does." -- from a @vulture.com column I wrote 1 week after the 2016 election. www.vulture.com/2016/11/60-m...

60 Minutes, SNL, and the Normalization of Donald Trump

This is what the mainstream media does.

We're at the point where we need to quit assuming Trump can't be president and instead assume he will be, and ask how to stop it.

If Trump becomes president it will be because right up until the end, the media treated him as a great story rather than a potential Hitler.
