How could one fucking man, one fucking child, wreck the economy of the fucking world?

[Aviation Pro]

And how could one fucking party in control of Congress allow this to continue?

1. Boggles the mind.

2. It takes a viilage

Full of idiots

[Ocelot II]

3. Hitler had Goebbels, Goering, Himmler, and many other orcs and trolls

who were happy to help him fuck up Germany and start a world war. Trump isn't doing this by himself, either. What's so disheartening isn't that Trump is a sociopath with the impulse control of a two-year-old and the attention span of a gerbil; it's that so many people looked at him and said, "Yeah, I want some of that."

8. Absolutely!

And that their support was based entirely on hating others.

Boggles the mind.

[Martin Eden]

4. There is no shortage of deranged sociopaths who want to be king

But they can't ascend to the throne without a LOT of help from powerful interests seeking to enhance their own wealth, power, and ideological agenda.

Those people are WORSE than the sociopath.

5. Because he has the full power of the US behind him

He has the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court allowing him to do what he wants. Democrats in the House and Senate can mainly slow him down slightly, but much of what is happening is outside the normal legislative process.

Much is being done just by the executive branch with the aid of a complicit Supreme Court. The question I have is if the Republican legislators and their supporters turn will it already be too late to go back to a normal government.

6. More likely the Republicans will stop the elections.

They don't care about the country, they only crave power.

[Bettie]

7. The rest of the (civilized) world will

pull together to recover, without the US.

Because they know that our system is not to be trusted.

[unblock]

9. It's funny how one insect / can damage / so much grain

[Irish_Dem]

10. Trump has a huge amount of help.

Congress, courts, supreme court, billionaires, MAGA cult, etc etc.

Trump is just their front man.
