How I learned to stop worrying and love Trump!

Oh there's no doubt about it (except for not voting-- you have to stay engaged even if you're not thrilled about it).  Even with Bernie as the nominee I fear Trump gets another four.

You know David, we shouldn't sell Bernie short until he gets into a debate with Trump. I think he'd run over him. And that makes votes.

 Yeah buddy! Now you're talking!

Even if you don't want to vote in the presidential election, at least make sure to vote in congressional, state-level and/or local elections if they're held in your location. There's potential to bring about small forms of positive change (or at least avoid further harm) even if you have no faith in whoever occupies the White House.

This is absolutely crucial and something that I've been saying for the last 15 years or so. Both parties are guilty of laying down during the midterms. This is something that the Republicans know well and have countered with gerrymandering, voter blocking, etc.

^ With some of the Republicans claiming that he can do whatever he wants, as long as it's for the good of the country, that's always a possibility.

^ Don't worry my dear. As much as Trump thinks that he has the military behind him (and the bikers?!) that's a fallacy. They would be the first to show him the door if he was voted out and tried a coup.

It's obvious that Trump is already pulling that and has been working towards it since the beginning.  His overly large ego wouldn't have it any other way.  This is why he admires the dictators so much.  I hope that the military will not allow it to happen, but the military might be bypassed if things keep going his direction.  After all, he has mostly taken over the entire Republican party and is now telling his aides that he wants less workers in the white house and more loyalists in the key positions.  There is no doubt that he is already accomplished much in his take over.

 Don't give him any ideas Greg!

  I'm sure he'd invoke all of his usual suspects.
