Possibly lost in the âTerrorist Antifa Momsâ news out of Portland last week was the thought that we continually say things like this:
- Another new low for Trump.
- How dare he?
- Trump flaunts the Constitution.
In the past, other presidents have used governmental authority for political ends, but no other president has used a combination of the FBI/DHS/ATF and private mercenaries to literally beat down our First Amendment rights. Whoâs stepping forward to stop him?
Without a principled Congress, nothing will stop him. The Republican Party steadfastly remains unshocked by his behavior. The Democratic Party can hold all the hearings it wants. It will never make a dent in Trumpâs behavior. The current national dumpster fire is 100% owned by the GOP.
From Trumpâs perspective, heâs doing exactly what heâs certain that he can get away with as President. Heâs moved the goalposts, because our system wasnât designed to hold back a President without principles. On to cartoons.
Protection of your Constitutional rights is now in the hands of Portlandâs mothers:
Hereâs the true cognitive test for Americans:
Whoâs behind these secret police masks?
Do Americans understand how close we are to Trump declaring Martial Law?
Can Trump win on this debate question?
“Another new low for Trump. How dare he.” Well, he’ll keep going lower, and daring more, as long as enough people support, tolerate or fear him. That’s how authoritarianism takes hold. At this point he is further emboldened since he has nothing to lose. Corrupt, mendacious, vengeful, reckless, vulgar, petty, needy, clownish, ignorant, incompetent, capricious, cruel (etc.), that’s what turns his supporters on.
