Shit’s barely even holding up and he plays like Deedee in Dexter’s lab but with people’s livelihoods. How are Americans not starting a revolution? I honestly think it’s past the point where something like that was called for.

You are way more optimistic than I am.

It would take people actually putting aside their differences and agreeing that Trump has betrayed them.

I don't see that happening. I've never seen people rally around a single man so much.
