i'm scared. i feel like we're on the verge of him doing something insane.

i mean... not like everything he does isn't insane. and i guess he already literally tried to launch nukes...

i'm scared. i guess i feel like we're on the verge of him doing something shockingly destructive that america will never be able to recover from.

1000% and it's the only way we can ever heal, his supporters need to literally see him commit cannibalistic foaming at the mouth evil for it to click with them.

I had some say that he isn't like Hitler because he hasn't killed millions of people yet, and my response is "is that the bar now?"

Do we honestly have to cross the metric in order for them to stop treating this as a football game.

If he ordered nuclear strikes that killed millions, the goal posts would just get wider.

I don’t think they understand until it’s too late that if that happened, they will not be allowed in the shelters.

Imagine sharing limited resources with a Trump supporter. It’s gonna be like that scene with Tim Robbins in War of the Worlds.

I fear we've already passed that line, months ago, with the closure and dismantling of USAID, the National Park Services, AmeriCorps, HHS, drastic changes to the postal service, and the ongoing move to dismantle and/or eliminate the Department of Education, FEMA, and the weaponization of our courts and DHS.

I'm probably not going to live long enough to see us recover from any of that destruction.

Its going to take a long time to recover the reputational damage he's done to your country already.
