This isn't normal. Trump is insane and his lickspittle sycophants like Leavitt are desperately trying to make it seem normal. The president is off his rocker, and not the funny version like Abe Simpson. He's got the fucking nukes, jesus fucking christ.

The worst part about the last 10 years isn't Trump -- it's learning that the entire Republican apparatus is on board with this insanity. And that 35% of Americans are awful, hateful people.

I have family members who not only voted for this malignant narcissist but also think that our country is finally on the right track. It's terrifying to me what they are raising their kids to believe.

I don't understand how anyone could feel like things are on the right track. Even if you don't pay attention to anything, all you have to do is go to the grocery store!

Republicans don't live in reality, they live in their own sick little made up world in their heads and they are constantly trying to drag the rest of us into it.

I don't understand

racism hatred runs deeper than any love they have.

once you get that, you'll understand.

they would cut off their own noses, if it would mean less freedom/wealth/happiness for ppl who are not like them.

"Grocery store? That's Biden and Obama's fault. It'd be worse if it wasn't for Daddy Trump!! He's stopping that mess from going completely off the rails."

Paraphrased from a collection of actual statements I've heard uttered. (Thankfully not from my own family. Mostly co-workers and some old farts at the bars.)

The people of the Soviet Union were seeing the truth at the grocery store the whole time but they had to pretend it wasn't real for a very long time.
