Dworkin Report - History Will Look Back On This Moment, With One Right Side To Be On. It Ain't Trump's

There is no reason Donald Trump should be celebrated in any fashion by anyone. He’s a convicted felon who should be in prison right now—a tyrannical orange monster, with a broken brain.

Over the last eight years, there has never been a time where we have ever backed down to Trump. We were there every second of every day, doing everything we could to make a difference. There is no way we will give up now.

As we roll into this tumultuous time, I wanted to take a moment to make some things clear.

Nothing you are seeing or hearing regarding Trump or his cult members is normal. These pathological liars are woefully unhinged and unqualified, which puts our country at risk at a constant.

I don't see a path by which we can retake power. The oligarchs have unlimited funds, our legal system can't touch them, and they can buy lawmakers, laws, and elections. I see no meaningful pushback against the billionaire class and their corporations from either party.

Them that have the money write the rules, and they will also write the history of our times.

Maybe some people smarter than myself will come up with a long-term plan that can actually work...

Trumpers will just make sure the history books in the future get whitewashed, sort of like they did with Reagan, but a hundred times worse. Even now, a lot of Trumpers have convinced themselves that Donnie was the *hero* that defeated COVID-19 and he was the bold witness whose court testimony helped convict Epstein... This is the kind of disinfo fairytale fantasy creation we're fighting against, and we're losing...
