29. Most of us are healthy

But enough unhealthy people can wreck a civilization.

I was reading deplorables comments on an article denouncing Trump/Russia. People were saying things like "Get over it he is the most powerful man in the world".

I realized that the reason they love him is because they are so happy that an asshole (like them) is finally in power. Someone can finally give voice to all of their hatred and frustration and they are loving it. He has normalized them. Made them acceptable. Even the pedophiles and rapists among them are finding themselves represented by someone who actually has the power to let them be who they are. They don't have to hide anymore.

We're all counting on Robert Mueller to set them straight. Remove the cancer from our country's body. And I believe he will. But once the balance of power is restored to sane people we all need to think hard about how many insane were exposed by Trump's rise to power.

How will we deal with them in the future?
