Trump is not the biggest problem


Graphic mine

This is the thing. If they just stopped enabling him. Just said no. Stop. It would be over. Trump would still be a hideous human being, but he would be an irrelevance. They empower him. Everyone of them need to be forced everyday to face the facts about what they are doing because power is seemingly more important than everything, including democracy, to those who facilitate the horror of the Trump presidency.
As John Fowles wrote in The Magus
"I suppose one could say that Hitler didn't betray his self."
"You are right. He did not. But millions of Germans did betray their selves. That was the tragedy. Not that one man had the courage to be evil. But that millions had not the courage to be good.”

Trump is nothing without Hannity & Friends! The ministers of propaganda that have hoodwinked probably 35% of our population!

(With a major assist from Bill Barr and Moscow Mitch McConnell!)

Once this ends, the country will have acquired herd immunity to the disease that festered into Trumpism.

It will still be bouncing around, flaring up occasionally, but in general will be relagated to backwaters and crackpots.
