Trump and his movement are evil -- and it's time to say it clearly
Don’t Donald Trump and the other Republicans have a conscience? They do not. Power and vanquishing the “enemy” —meaning liberals, progressives, the Democratic Party in general and anyone else they do not see as “real Americans” — is the only goal that matters.Is there no bottom to Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s cruelty? No. Cruelty and pain are weapons that advance their agenda.
How could this happen in the greatest country on earth? By many measures America is not the greatest country on Earth. The myth of American exceptionalism helped to spawn Trumpism.
What about the Constitution and the rule of law? Surely the institutions will save us! Such quaint notions do not matter to Donald Trump and the Republican Party in their quest for total and unlimited power. “Democracy” is but a means to an end. America’s political and social institutions are brittle. Trump and his movement simply exploited problems that have long been present.
