Fear There May Be National Turmoil Ahead As RW Christians/White Supremacists Push Their Agenda.

If anything the Trump administration pushes its racist agenda behind the scenes. The silence or phony rhetoric says volumes about the true feelings of Trump, his supporters and the GOP. If we notice the GOP has said virtually nothing about the attacks on minorities and non Christian churches and institutions.

We certainly cannot count of the DOJ with an avowed and life long racist and bigot in charge. Sessions is there for a reason. Now that many police forces seem to be infiltrated with white supremacist and KKK sympathizers we can only expect things to get worse. The Trump law and order agenda is worrisome.

Plus the GOP zeal to pass unconstitutional anti protester laws you have to wonder how things will come out. With proposals in 17 states some of these laws could pass.

I have been rightly accused of being too pessimistic. To be optimistic at this point would seem pollyannaish. I have watched us go backwards since Reagan. I have watched the electorate grow more and more ignorant and manipulated. Now we have the very worst president ever, the very worst cabinet ever, and the worst of the GOP. Being optimistic at this point seems almost absurd.

I hope for hope.

But there is good reason to be optimistic, sure there is Trump but the world is trending toward progressivism. We will win this in the end.

I think the GOP is a dying bread. Soon they will be so small not even gerrymandering or the EC will be able to save them. History and data is on our side.

Pollyanna-ish than you think...

This Administration has already revealed that it is basically a bomb -- just waiting for the chance to "deconstruct" the administrative state & then some.

Prior to Saturday, the timer had not yet been activated -- and there was only a minimal sense of urgency being experienced by both sides.. the IC & the Administration.

However, I do believe that the countdown has been initiated and there will now be a race to see if the IC can successfully disarm this administration before it does irreparable damage.

They don't have an ironclad case yet?
I know with the GOP Congress it has to be undeniable, but it seems like we are already there.

They will only get one chance. If they fail, I will let the consequences to your imagination, to both them and country.

they elected a rapist-in-chief sex predator with no morals, no class, no integrity. They are major league hypocrites. I heard Michelle Bachmann say Trump is a president from her god. What an unbelievable statement given that the republitard party collectively wiped their butts in their Jesus's face on election day. They have no morals.

If they approached me with some sort of moral indignation I'd be telling them off bigtime. No Jehovah's Witness or nun should dare knock on my door panhandling for christ.
