    The bad news is that this is going to be very bad for a lot of people.

    The good news is that he’s escalating to avoid dealing with the fact that he’s already losing grip on power.

      i’m somewhat certain an escalation is needed because otherwise lots of people are not gonna admit that there even is a problem.

      consider that trump would still get too many votes if there was election day today. he first has to mess up a whole lot harder for people to take a stance and demand for change.

      what i mean is, i’ve talked to some republicans recently and some of them say that yes, essentially, trump is a conman. they’re waking up. had trump not been elected into absolute power, they’d continued to blame the democrats for opposing trump’s genius plan, and we’d never get the revolution we need.
