17. The question is why are we letting the 1/3 or less assholes rule us?

Life could be being made very miserable for the Trump fascists, but it's not. They are leaning back in their newly bought and taxpayer paid for leather chairs and laughing their asses off at us. Any of the problems that they are having are self-inflicted and are quickly covered up.

The 2/3 of the people could derail these bastards, but they aren't doing it. Relentless and unanswered propaganda, fear and intimidation, the fact that we are figuratively and literally "outgunned", and quite frankly a lack of cohesive leadership are all contributing factors. I guess it's going to have to get really bad for people before they wake up. However, the right is doing their best to continue to make sure that people do not wake up.
