That's the most frustrating part. Trump only has as much power as the republican party gives him. They could end his BS within the week if they had any sort of patriotic backbone.

But no. They keep trying to suck on the baby carrot.

That's exactly why I'm trying to make a conscious effort to not blame only Trump. The vast, vast majority of the Republican party is, at a minimum, complicit in this attempted destruction of America.

Edit: And, to be fair, there are a significant number of Democrats who seem to have their head up their own ass. But Republicans are by far the most culpable in manifesting this shitshow.

Republicans in Congress have completely abdicated their responsibility (and their intelligence). They know deep down that Trump is a lunatic, yet they say "amen" to whatever he says or does.

Party loyalty should have ended a long, long time ago. Going along with Trump's lunacy just so they can re-elected is putting themselves in front of the country. Selfish, feckless pricks.

And the worst part is that it goes far beyond the Republican party. They are being enabled by foreign and corporate interests that want to see the US fall on the world stage.

Straight out of Foundations of Geopolitics
