There will never be a tangerine shit gibbon like this one.

This is unique. Either Trump is the worst, the absolute nadir, or else he's the beginning of a deep dive into U.S. totalitarianism in which case what follows will be far worse. Either way, this is some kind of turning point. Kind of interesting.

wont be able to get themselves to blame him or the party.

This is why, you see, why we cant fix this.

If you have a sandwich in your hand, John walks up to you, kicks you in the stomach and takes your sandwich, and you turn around and blame the dog walker who just happens to be walking a dog across the street, then you cant ever fix your situation and have your sandwich.

John will keep kicking you in the stomach and taking your sandwich until you blame him, confront him.

Either this is the bottom or it's the beginning of a very deep dive indeed.
