He Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere

Don’t kid yourself. He’s goin’ nowhere. They love their autocrats (and they hate democracy):
…Mr. Trump has more support among Republicans at this point in office than any president other than George W. Bush.
“While there were deep divisions in the Republican Party during the campaign, it is clear that the G.O.P. rank and file are well unified behind Trump,” said Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School poll.
So no, impeachment isn’t on the table. And “engaging” Democrats isn’t on the table. And “preventing the most egregiously wrong-headed things Trump/Bannon are planning” isn’t on the table. And protecting ourselves from disaster isn’t on the table.
And when it all goes poof – as it surely will, from sheer incompetence (but they might also push it along via an American Reichstag Fire ) – do you honestly think either Trump or Republicans have the slightest incentive to be introspective? As in “Wow, this is our fault, we are really fucking up?”
Please. They have the perfect herd of scapegoats: an African-American president (Obama), a woman Secretary of State (Clinton), a press that won’t tow the (Republican) party line, and liberals.
Are you starting to get it yet? I certainly hope so because it really is that serious.
