Folks need to stop laughing at Trump and calling him incompetent and thinking WH is chaos

[EffieBlack]

If this were chaos, things would be swinging every whichaway. But everything is going all in the same direction toward an authoritarian government centered around him with only people who are perfectly aligned with him in positions of real power.

This is some dangerous stuff we're watching and we're facing real danger. And if we don't take back the House and/or Senate this fall, that danger will be inevitable and likely irreparable.

We need to move past ridicule to something ike a plan.

6. I must respectfully disagree...

If they had the someone with the evil talents of a Cheney or Rove, the self inflicted damage would have been minimized and we would be much farther down this evil path with a relative patriotic calm surrounding it.

About this time in the W administration they were weaving and implementing their plans under cover of the post 911 fog of patriotism.

The outrageous behavior and chaos of the White House underscores and reminds us daily of how not right things are and keeps us engaged and enraged.

And motivated...

8. They seem to be seriously fond of a strong Unitary Executive.

I would even go a step further and say that it seems the Republicans in congress are more than willing to abdicate their role to the Executive branch. Truly horrifying what they are doing. They are everything they accused Obama of being.

9. I have never laughed at Trump.

I knew on election night - as did many others - the danger we were facing. I think people have been using humor as a coping skill. Unfortunately for me, it's not working anymore, and I just feel vaguely sick most of the time now.
