Toxic Trump: "I'm the BEST, just absolutely CRUSHING the competition, with over TWO POINT FIVE MILLION coronavirus cases and over 125--one-hundred and twenty-five!!!--THOUSAND deaths! Easy as 1-2-3! They ALL got eighty-sixed, 'cause nobody else even comes close! With a QUARTER of the world's cases AND deaths--can you even imagine how truly great, how awesome, that achievement is, with only just FOUR PERCENT of the world's population to work with? Believe it or not, I accomplished in only FIVE WEEKS what it took the Vietnam War a whole TWELVE YEARS to do! Not done with the fun--and not to be outdone--I then doubled down on the death toll from Vietnam in just FOUR MONTHS! PLUS, we're not even counting ALL the COVID-19 cases and deaths here in the U.S.! And, with only SEVEN PERCENT of the U.S. population already infected, we're just getting started with all the sickness and death; there's PLENTY more to come! Those other weaklings and losers don't stand a chance, because we're going to keep right on winning--as long as I'm in charge! Now, vacation's over; time to get back to work on increasing those numbers, people! Let's keep America great, get rid of all the excess baggage! As wartime President, I am commanding all CIVILIANS to senselessly sacrifice their lives for my arrogance, stupidity, vanity, malevolence, and greed!"

President Nero stoked racial animosities, igniting the embers, keeps feeding the flames. Lynching, murder of innocent civilians by law enforcement, followed by protests, riots, civil unrest, people hurt, property damaged--those were all inevitable with an arsonist in the Oval, even if his gross criminal negligence with COVID-19 wasn't presently so starkly highlighting the social and economic divides in this nation. You didn't see this coming, it's only because you refused to look.

The Tulsa blue upholstery highly visible when so many seats starkly empty, exponentially increasing the stinging rebuke to Toxic Trump's ignorance, arrogance, avarice, malevolence, incompetence, negligence, lawlessness, and ineptness! It's an ominous omen for Trump and his criminal cohorts, but a welcome sight for the rest of us, promising better days ahead once the apprentice is fired.

Gee, didn't you know? Republicans don't care anything about protecting workers, public health, law, justice, or the environment...only about maximizing profits! That's how we got into this pickle in the first place, with 100,000 Americans dead in just three months; that's why other nations have stopped the spread, but we're STILL in the first wave, losing a 1,000 Americans daily, remember?

GOP has gone rogue, doesn't want to play by the rules in America, anymore. Republicans are all about constant deceit and hypocrisy, rigging elections, and rampant crony corruption.
One would hope that his cabinet or the Republican Senate would have done the right thing and removed him. Or, that the Republican SCOTUS would have defended our Constitution, instead of partisan power grabs. In fact, it's more than hope--those are the minimal basic expectation of our public officials. They failed themselves, and they failed our nation horribly. Because they are weak, and ignorant, and corrupt.
Thus, we are forced to suffer another six months of a failed Presidency, a failed Senate, and a failed SCOTUS. While confident Trump would be defeated before the pandemic and ensuing economic collapse, his loss has since become a virtual certainty. So, that isn't really about hope, either.
What does give hope is that the majority of Americans reject Trump. There is hope that the end of Trump will mark the beginning of the end for the Republican cult. There is hope that out of this darkness will come the realization progress is vital to our future, and that reactionary conservatism stagnates and kills.
In short, the GOP has become proto-fascist, bound by the ignorant Republican cult they created, and the fear, bigotry and hate they cultivated and nourished for decades. Fortunately, the cult is not the majority, so there is hope yet for America!
"The problem at the heart of all this is a Republican cult built up over decades by plutocrats, the GOP, and right-wing media. Those Americans elected this pitiful, puerile President, and have continued to support him no matter what travesty he commits! The creators of the Republican cult have always been weak men, and now find themselves harnessed by those they sought to enslave, subject to the fickle whims of a moronic madman and the mob whose ignorance they relentlessly nourished and cultivated."
Conservatism as always been the endless, futile quest to justify greed, but the coin of the realm in GOP land is fear; it's what they peddle, it's what they traffic in, it's what they carry in their pocket at all times. Then, they turn that fear to hate. And that hate is the poison killing them, America, and all of us. It's the poison to which the Republican cult has become addicted.
Republican cultism is the disease, Toxic Trump is merely the most visible symptom and but one carrier of that disease. It existed before Trump, and it will continue when Trump is gone--unless or until the problem is adequately addressed. COVID-19 is also a disease; but a virus is blameless, unlike those who engage in willful ignorance. America would have confronted and easily conquered COVID-19 disease, had America not already been diseased for so long with Republican tribalistic partisan cultism. Racism, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny and bigotry were central to the formation of the Republican cult, and remain its lifeblood.
The only thing been stopping the GOP cult from turning America fascist has been the long-held universal repulsion and rejection of Toxic Trump's hero, Adolf Hitler, by Americans. Fortunately, the majority of Americans still remember that painful historical lesson many Republicans choose to ignore. There is hope that good will once again triumph over evil; love prevail over hate; common sense outweigh blind faith, mindless tribalism, and silly superstitions.
