We’ve Now Learned the Three Principles of Trumpism, and They’re Ugly

Trump 1.0 was a Jackson Pollock—splat splat all over the place. Trump 2.0 is painting within very precise lines. It’s terrifying—but it should help plan how to fight.

newrepublic.com

So, now we know what trump is trying to do. We know what his aim is and how he plans to go about, either destroying or distorting, our government. The question is, "Will Democrats be willing to take on his ugly crusade or sit and, for the sake of the Union, allow it to continue. The latter choice, allowing it to continue, could lead to an America that is unrecognizable. The trump plan is simple and straight forward. The response is not.

Yes, correct.

I don't think the Dems have a chance in hell in effectively dealing with this. They have their own problems to fix. The fact that they lost to this person should motivate them to look in the mirror. Otherwise they have to hope for (a) a disaster and (b) that the GQP doesn't pervert the electoral system between now and 2026.

This has never been about Trump. It's NEVER about people like this. Look to history. One person can't do shit. It's about the people who ENABLE them. Look at the long list of craven, shameless, opportunistic Republicans who said the worst possible things about him, yet ended up bending over for him. One of those is his current Secretary of State. Another one of those is nominated to run our health care. Another one of those is his current fucking VICE PRESIDENT.

It's not about Trump, and the Dems can't do shit. The only thing that fixes this fucking travesty in the short term is some backbone in the GQP, and I'm sure as hell not holding my breath. They love those cushy gubmit jobs too much.

“But there’s also an extent to which, in this case, everybody was taken aback by the tsunami of orders, the fuck-you unqualified-ness of crucial appointees, and more. ”

All opinions and lies.

20,000 volt Trump? What does that even mean? It is non sensical.

unqualified-ness does not have a hypen.

Did a 3rd grader write this stupid garbage?

The problem is, trump is willing to do anything, take down anybody, slander anyone, in order to get his very scary agenda through. The Dems, on the other hand appear to be too timid and more interested in decorum and established procedures to understand that trump DOES NOT PLAY BY THE RULES.

He does not care when he does something illegal. He knows the GOP Lemmings in Congress will twist themselves into pretzels in order to justify his blatantly illegal orders. This, my friend, is what you get when you elect a Felon/Mafia Boss into the highest office in the land.

He breaks/ignores/doesn't understand the basic rules of being an adult. A professional. A thoughtful, intelligent person. He doesn't understand respect or self control or decency or dignity. He has to be told NO, and the only people who can do that are people in his own party.

But they're, as you say, lemmings.

One thing is true, this is an indictment on America itself, as in, the people.

We've already failed, let's see how long it takes to snap out of it.

That's what I learned in 2016, and it took a few years to accept it.

Now I do. I don't like it, but it is what it is.

Trump does things legally jimbowhiner, like ridding the country of illegal aliens.
Try getting a job for a change, it may help your chronic TDS.

Hmm.... I've never really thought of Trump as having any principles. He's more of a mirror, a fun-house mirror reflecting back a grotesque image of his supporters' fear and frustration.

I don't think that's entirely fair. Our political system is broken. It creates artificial division and tempts "reformers" who want to use the government to "transform" America.

I don't know if the Dem's are being timid, or just understanding, give a fool enough he will eventually hang himself. And it is already happening.

First, the FED has pretty much taken any further rate cuts off the table for the rest of the year. That is a flip from previous estimates of forthcoming rate cuts. It is those damn tariffs. Even the threat of them. Already driving up prices as the supply chain anticipates forthcoming tariffs.

how many times did Biden get his hand slapped, just on pushing student loan forgiveness?

He is you. He knows your game. And you are too arrogant, obnoxious, ignorant and wallow in self-importance to realize it. A lady Progressive Senator crying yesterday at a confirmation hearing is pompous theater and a reason we have a nation in decline.
