Donald Trump is terrorizing us.

He is the King of Chaos and loves to inflict pain on people. You see it when he makes up derogatory names for people whom he perceives as a threat to him. He started in even earlier this time, virtually after the day he "won" the election. The name of the game is to keep the population cowed, petrified and unable to think straight as he consolidates his dictatorship. It ain't over til it's over, and it isn't over yet. So, he must constantly threaten, belittle, and voice his plans to eff us over. He can't keep his mouth shut. He says things that, whether true or not, makes us dizzy with outrage or disbelief.

Put one foot in front of the other. Take a deep breath. Vote true Blue. Help your neighbor. Let this be the time when American Patriots held hands in a long rainbow line of all segments of the population against the fascists. If you pray, pray he drops dead, although I didn't say that.

His themes of blaming immigrants in order to arouse xenophobia, and declaring America as a third world, decrepit country which is failing are old and has been. He could find himself arrested, along with his little cadre of evil fascists, in four years when we see as a country what THEY have done. By then, we will not be in the mood to let him walk around without an ankle bracelet and his passport in hand.

Joe Biden was one of the best, if not the best, Presidents we ever had. He did well. Trump is a convicted rapist felon who is going to try to destroy us with the help of other evil men. We will be damned lucky if he doesn't start WW3. These times are going to separate the wheat from the chaff. Find your leaders, but trust no one.

nation in which if you are not MAGA you are an "enemy within." That's a hell of a lot of enemies. And as a logistical and practical matter, that might not mean much if your sin was, say, donating to Kamala Harris. But the danger is that his core supporters are rabid and seem to have a lot of time on their hands. If they feel motivated and emboldened, they can create a lot of suffering and will do so under the belief (which could well be true) that they won't face consequences for hate crime, crimes against anyone they perceive to be an enemy of the new dictatorship.

I think it's rational to be a little bit frightened. Like my physics professor used to say, "A little bit of fear is a good thing." We shouldn't live our lives in fear, but we should be vigilant and use caution, at least initially until we get the lay of the land.

of enemies too, foreign and domestic. Just saying. He will be a prisoner behind the walls Mar-la Loco, or will he have his own militia because he is weak and a coward.

Just because he is insane doesn't mean we have to be insane.

Plus he's been getting lessons from Orban and Putin. They like to instill fear into people. Plus he's a bully. If someone did confront him, he probably stomper off like a little child. His fragile ego can't take it.

Usually it's a means by which to avoid mention of that monster.

Not so recently. His tariff threats are pissing off the country (except for one stray conservative premier) and he's now dominating Canadian news, too. The PM and all the premiers are meeting to discuss this and yesterday I heard one of them refer to the US as 'the enemy '. The enemy of Canada! Us!

What a wicked, wicked man.

If they truthfully reported on him we wouldn’t be experiencing the ending of America and democracy.

They loved his daily outrage and now they will FAFO when they get attacked, lives threatened and lose their jobs for reporting the truth on him.
