I sometimes think that Trump... [View all]

...should be able to have his cabinet of clowns. I think that Americans won't wake up to the disaster until they see it happen in real time and firsthand.

Maybe some of the first-generation immigrants who voted for Trump need to see their cousin or niece, who was brought to America at a young age, pulled from their school or home, placed in a detention camp and deported. Maybe the Arabs and Muslims who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Harris need to see the utter devastation in Gaza, supported by Trump, and the executive orders depriving them of their rights. Maybe the 25% of women who voted for Trump but support reproductive rights need to see national abortion bans. Maybe the union workers who voted for Trump to keep "wokeism" out of the American workplace need to see their unions decimated by national right to work laws, putting their jobs and pensions at risk. Maybe Americans need to see a runaway pandemic because more than 25% of American believe the bullshit from RFK Jr. and fail to get themselves and their families vaccinated. Maybe the 22% of young black men who thought that it was "cool" to vote for Trump need to see the Department of Justice not enforce the civil rights laws and grant immunity to police. Maybe those of us who believe in the Constitution need to see members of the press arrested for what they say and wright.

Just maybe.
