2. I am no longer sure if we can get back to semi-normal time before Trump.

There are so many mini-Trumps in the republican party that are out-trumping Trump daily. I don't know if they will return to a semi-sane state even after Trump is GONE.

depraved clown who wanted to be a fearsome dictator to the presidency. And then there are the corrupt treasonous RWers donors who have been filling government positions with their treasonous agents, including the amazing collection of sociopaths and psychopaths who've flocked to them and tRump's WH.

Granted, it'd be helpful if tRump dropped dead tonight. But if he does, they'll ALL still be here tomorrow, including the over 70,000,000 Americans who voted for him and now will be anxious to find a stronger, smarter leader to finish smashing our democracy and taking over. And a bunch are already auditioning. If they don't seem especially scary, well, neither did tRump at this point.

Looks like it might have been inspired by McCarthy's performance today, but was actually published in September.

He sure seems like a prime candidate for a heart attack with his age, his weight, and his cheeseburger diet.

The more I read about the topic... it's mostly genetics.

There are people who are NOT active, somewhat overweight and eat a crappy diet and have normal blood pressure and blood tests...

There are folks who run 40 miles a week and eat more kale and fish than you can imagine and they're on 5 different prescription meds...

Trump is nothing more than a symptom.

Who knows where it originated... maybe disenfranchised white Democrats in the Civil Rights era, maybe Goldwater, Reagan, Gingrich or the Federalist Society?

Trump is only notable in the epidemic because he was the loudest and the most media savvy.

After Trump you'll have a loud mouthed DeSantis, Gaetz, Noem or Cotton doing the EXACT same thing as Trump.

Trump simply said the things that were always "thought" in the GOP but never verbalized for sake of "decency"...

The GOP will never again "attempt" to be decent.

And it seriously pissed off tens of millions of them.

The only way this country is ever going to get back to being a reasoning majority electorate is if someone very influential on the right says “enough of this crap.”

Since that is not likely to happen any time soon, it is up to the rational segment of Americans to just out vote them.

Trumpy was the catalyst to turn them loose, and it could take decades to fix this mess
