(396 posts)happen. I personally don't think Trump is a legitimate President and I think members of the GOP were aware of an agenda to force him into office. I think they saw back-to-back Dem Presidents as their death knell because they'd HAVE to put a Democratic nominee on the Supreme Court. They didn't want to listen to a black man THEN a woman. Plus I think they were hellbent on destroying Obama's legacy
This is the closest we've come to a coup because our voting process is weak and if our voting process is weak, then American democracy is weak. Much weaker than we thought.
The only good news for us is that Trump is such an incredible disaster that if he falls, he just might take the GOP with him. I doubt it, but I don't think this country will be the same post-Trump. I think there's a deep cultural fissure that won't be healed this generation. I think some of us who live through this will despise the right-wing for many years to come. It's gone beyond simple political disagreements at this point.
