Thank so much for everything you & everyone @ the the bulwark (especially Tim Miller, JVL & Sarah Longwell) have done & are doing to fight against the authoritarian cult that has taken over the republican party. I am a Never Trumpet in a land of Maga Morons (Arkansas). You guys have literally helped to keep me from going completely nuts …
Thank so much for everything you & everyone @ the the bulwark (especially Tim Miller, JVL & Sarah Longwell) have done & are doing to fight against the authoritarian cult that has taken over the republican party. I am a Never Trumpet in a land of Maga Morons (Arkansas). You guys have literally helped to keep me from going completely nuts many, many times over the last 7 years. I would be watching something totally at odds with what I thought American democracy was all about.
From Stormy Daniels all the way through to the Big Lie I would what Trump was doing & I would think OK, there is no way anybody could think that (insert your own Trump scandal) could watch this play out & conclude, yeah that's OK, no big deal, or hey all politicians are liars so what Trump is doing is fair game. When anyone with half an IQ point could see how badly he is eroding everything America strives to live up to. I mean even my dad who is a college professor with a PHD in economics was all in on the Trump Train & I would just observe in amazement as he bought in lock, stock & barrell whatever BS right wing media would portray when Trump repeatedly showed us who he really was, a wanna be authoritarian/strong-man pick your label but there really was no denying it. Yet time after time after time after time my dad either didn't see or didn't want to admit that maybe, just maybe I had been right all along & Trump was only out for Trump everyone else be damned including the Republican party & even America. I do think the tide is beginning to shift a tiny bit since the disastrous midterms for the Republicans & especially any Trump endorsed candidates. I say this BC right after the midterms my dad told me that he thought the Republican party could no longer win with Trump to which I replied that's easier said than done, Trump will burn it all down before he names allows someone else to be the Orange God King.
*****just for context I am 40yrs old & my dad will be 80 in March.
