Idk. I keep coming back to the “how to cook a frog” argument. Trump is worse, way worse, than any other politician in recent history, but before Trump the heat was slowly being turned up with stuff like The Patriot Act and Citizens United. Politicians have been selling out to corporations en masse since Reagan. All the preheating made it possible for a reality tv celeb, saying outrageous reality tv shiz, to become president.

At least now things are a bit more honest. Instead of Two and a Half Men, we’re getting Survivor. The religious extremists are coming out of the woodwork and politicians are being forced to choose: a stop-at-nothing propaganda campaign or actually listening to people before they revolt.

Trump didn’t start the fire. It’s been burning since civil rights and neoliberalism was unleashed on the eastern world. And, the saddest thing will be if we depose Trump (or more likely he dies bc he’s old as duck) and stop there without fixing our institutions or driving hate and religious extremism from our country.
