I just don’t get it.
I just saw in the news how Trump’s approval ratings were creeping back up towards 50%. I saw the huge crowd cheering him on at his El Paso rally. I saw editorials and commentaries about how the Dem’s need to “tone it down” with the Green New Deal, which is non-binding and doesn’t go far enough, given the peril that the planet is in.
At the same time, I’m reading how the federal deficit is now 2 trillion, how so many middle class families who were expecting a tax refund nowowemoney, how Manafort’s lies to the Special Counsel will land him in jail, probably for the rest of his life, how children separated from their families at the border have zero chance of being reunited with their parents.
His university defrauded students. His charity defrauded contributors. He refuses to sanction murderers. He is obviously, to anyone paying even the slightest attention, corrupt. He openly obstructs justice. He is blatantly interested only in himself rather than the people who voted for him. He lies so often that you can’t even keep up with all of them.
He and the Republicans are trying to take healthcare away from ordinary people. They give huge breaks to the rich, while digging deeper and deeper holes that the poor and the middle class can’t climb out of.
And yet, they love him.
And I just have to ask, WTF?
