i’m somewhat certain an escalation is needed because otherwise lots of people are not gonna admit that there even is a problem.

consider that trump would still get too many votes if there was election day today. he first has to mess up a whole lot harder for people to take a stance and demand for change.

what i mean is, i’ve talked to some republicans recently and some of them say that yes, essentially, trump is a conman. they’re waking up. had trump not been elected into absolute power, they’d continued to blame the democrats for opposing trump’s genius plan, and we’d never get the revolution we need.
