The content of the meme here is partially true. Trump still has about 35% support, but that’s down from 51% when he was elected. So, more than 12 million American voters who put him in office have realized that he’s nothing more than a criminal conman.
If I were to make a guess about the near-term future of the United States, I would say that it will take a great many years before the people of the world stop harboring deep concerns to the effect the U.S. can be trusted again, because this nation:
– Could, at any time, have another would-be dictator who may be even worse than Trump. The current president is a monster, but thank God, he’s also inept. What if we get another monster who’s actually talented?
– Has become incredibly corrupt and has a congress that is essentially owned by heartless billionaires and corporations.
– Has a voter base that is composed of many tens of millions of hateful morons who will believe anything if it translates to punishing everyone but straight white Christian males.
What an idiotic statement we see here at left.
No one is hoping to see the United States complete the process of self-immolation.
About two-thirds of Americans want to see Trump held accountable for a variety of crimes, including treason. We want him impeached, convicted, and imprisoned.
Perhaps we’ve identified the central problem in the U.S. government.
There is no such thing as “Trump’s Supreme Court”; it doesn’t belong to him. We have, or at least had, three co-equal branches of government.
Well, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld the constitutional provision that it’s our Congress that sets tariffs.
In true character, Trump has told the federal government to f*** off, asserting that he has the right to do anything he wants.
Yesterday, he told our nation that he has the power to destroy any nation he chooses.
We’re at a crossroads. Either Trump emerges as king and turns American democracy into a relic, or we bring a stop to this criminal insanity.
What do progressives hope for, given the runaway criminality of the U.S. president?
The woman at left is what is properly called a “radical,” from the Latin for “root.” Pull it out by its roots, or in this case, burn it to the ground. I’ve heard this viewpoint expressed dozens of times, most recently by the wife of an old school chum.
I’m as disgusted by the downward spiral that Trump is inflicting upon the United States as the next guy, but I can’t get on board with this.
My message here: every decent U.S. citizen wants this turned around, but we can do this without ruining the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans. Trump is suffering a plummeting decline in voter supporter. We’re more than halfway home back to reason, compassion for others, and most of all, rule of law.
I appreciate how upset you are, but I beg you to reconsider.
What do victorious professional sports teams, top-flight musicians, and certain congresspeople have in common?
They refuse to legitimize Trump with their presence.
The United States is a pariah nation in the world today, and that doesn’t sit well with about two-thirds of the American people.
Arthur C. Clarke makes a good point here.
It reminds me of something neuroscientist Sam Harris said: Religion is to the human mind what a virus is to a computer.
At this point, after 16 years of failed attempts to reverse the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizens United, I would say to the guy who wrote the meme at left, it appears that ship has sailed.
With each passing year, the problem is getting worse. In 2010, the American people at least had the intelligence to be outraged that Big Money owned our congress.
Now, we’ve elected Donald Trump twice, and each day brings a new slap across the face, a new demonstration that he believes we are powerless to remove him.
