One Word Describes Trump
A century ago, a German sociologist explained precisely how the president thinks about the world.
www.theatlantic.com
Trump is a patrimonialist. "Patrimonialism is corrupt by definition.""Corruption is patrimonialism’s Achilles’ heel because the public understands it & doesn’t like it. "...helping the public understand [this] vulnerability...requires relentless messaging. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Casting a vote in a polling station is a constitutionally protected right.
Murdering people in cold blood in the street is not.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, Mr. Emmer.

Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

The forest is the system: Not the individual trees. Most people try to build resilience by making themselves bigger, stronger, more independent. They stockpile resources, they build higher walls, they go it alone. HOWEVER, We The People are stronger together. Unite!

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
