But who listens to Steve Schmidt? .003% of the population?

And it looks like this mess is wearing Steve down.

He’s too stupid, lazy, and ignorant for that.

Trump is the product of a degenerate, corrupt GOP – the ‘movement’ is nothing more than good old fashioned conservative authoritarian reactionaryism; motivated by racism, bigotry, and hate, the despotic right pursues an agenda intended to compel conformity and punish dissent.

Decades of white grievance politics, racist replacement theory, anti-immigrant nativism, and Christian nationalism created the malignancy that is Trump – and the neo-fascist reactionary right isn’t going anywhere when Trump is gone.
