Trump's not playing to his base, he IS that base - -

Rev. Al Sharpton just now on MSNBC.

Maybe that's putting it in a way that most journalists, pundits, and others -- esp. politicians, perhaps -- can comprehend. I am SO sick of them expecting that at any moment he'll be "normal," or will pivot, or deserves the benefit of the doubt EVER, under ANY circumstances.

He is a racist. He is a fascist. He wants to be a dictator / oligarch. He is a kleptocrat and is violating our laws and Constitution daily. When people call for his impeachmet, it's NOT because they "don't like him," it's because we recognize that he is harming the country, the government, the world, and NO ONE has the right to do that -- no matter who elected them, but CERTAINLY not when only 30-something percent of voters who were responsible, and those in just a handful of key states thanks to Russia.
