17. Now, I don't want to appear partisan, but...

Why, WHY, WHY is no one willing to acknowledge the glaringly obvious, and irrefutable fact that everything Trump says or does is in service to Putin's psychotic obsession with destroying America from within? Republicans are overjoyed at the prospect, 'cause they're no different, and certainly no better, than Putin is. They WANT a dictatorial oligarchy!

Actually, I know why. Because if anyone acknowledged it, then they'd have to do something about it. God for-fucking-bid. On the day before the election, I heard someone who should know better say that sure, Trump is dangerous, but he's not a danger to democracy. I think he might wanna walk that one back a parsec or two.

This is a really high cliff we're barrel-assin' toward, and it's gonna get messy at the bottom.
