I can't remember who said it, but back in 2016 I heard someone describe Trump's appeal this way--"he gives people permission to be their worst selves"--and it's always stuck with me. His public persona is like a bouillon cube of the most hateful and illiberal energies in US political culture.

Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump have never been hired for their abilities or on merit.
It's always been because they have a rich Daddy, which is also how their own father "qualified" for all of his first jobs.

"I went to Oxford University in England. I'm not a backwoods idiot whose mind is full of nonsense, I just play one on TV. Because that is what I condescendingly think my fellow Louisiana Republicans relate to. And, in fairness, I seem to have been correct."

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.
He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.
It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Well over 90% of commercial plane crashes were piloted by white men. But, of course, diversity is causing the crashes.

This puritanical pixie thinks Jesus's Sermon on the Mount was radical ideology.
"Blessed are the merciful." Matthew 5:7
Christian Nationalists are the least likely Americans to pay attention to Jesus. Even atheists are more likely to follow his teachings, if only inadvertently.

Ronald Reagan won the 1980 election against Jimmy Carter in part because he got Iran to agree not to release the Americans it was holding hostage until Reagan could take credit for their release. He was willing to risk their lives to win.

Donald is going to take the same approach to self-driving Teslas crashing as he did to COVID: If you don't report it, it didn't happen. And it will cause the same thing: deaths.

When I wonder how could we be a country that thinks Donald Trump is morally fit for *any* job, I remind myself that we're a country that watched 20 children (6 and 7 year olds) murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary School 12 years ago and did NOTHING in response.

Oh, I want much more than this. I want everything any intelligence agency has on Donald Trump declassified as well as anything the Department of Justice has.
Our intelligence community sat on its ass and did nothing to help us with a walking national security threat for 10 years.
Let that end now.
