This is the kind of stuff I saw from before he was even in office that just made my head explode when otherwise intelligent conservatives would dismiss these things as no big deal. From before day one, he shouted out loud and proud, repeatedly, that he gave zero fucks about our constitution, our checks and balances, our free press, any of what keeps America from devolving into a complete totalitarian nightmare. But so many said and continue to say, nah, no biggie, whatevs, I can look past all that silly stuff, cuz none of that was ever in any danger, so why care?
To me this argument is like bringing a zombie into your house to do chores around the house, but being dismissive about it constantly trying to eat your brains, because it is okay, Mitch McConnell has a shock collar to keep it in line, and it can never break free of that and he can totally be trusted to keep his hand on the button. And oh yeah, half of the country is also zombies who all support the zombie in your house and would totally storm your house if that zombie grunted at them to do so. But it is cool. They would just be their as tourists. No biggie.
I thought the GOP was just playing with fire and got burnt, but really, way, way more of them than I wanted to believe, give zero fucks about democracy. Or Science. And now we have lots of them actually in Congress, which is just frightening as all get out.
