    Trump is no root. He’s a long festering symptom. Of something that’s been going on in America for more than a hundred years at this point. If it hadn’t been him it would have been someone else eventually.

      The fact that it happened twice and will happen against despite whatever he and AOC are trying to do are the clearest indicator of this symptom.

      I think about this often… What if Trump is the best outcome? He’s a genuine fucking incompetent idiot.

      That’s the head of fascism in America right now. Better him than someone just as evil, but also intelligent and competent, I suppose.
