“Toxic Conspiracy Bullshit”. Nicely said.

1. I see it more as he tried and failed.

He is done.

4. I agree that Trump the man is done, but Trumpism is alive and well

2. It's not just Trump. It's the entire GOP, including the state and local levels.

3. So you have to ask yourself, "Who do they serve?"

It is an answer that the Republicans will do everything in their power to hide.

5. Who benefits by destroying objective truth, dividing the electorate and creating political

faultlines effectively pitting 50% of the voters against the other half? I believe it's the corporate interests who back the Republican party who stand to gain. How else can they can maintain power in a country where class and wealth disparities are becoming increasingly more evident with every passing year?

7. Any group or entity that benefits if democracy is destroyed

Democracy is still a relatively new thing in the modern world. America has toppled dictators, fought wars against royalty, and serves as a beacon of human and civil rights around the world. Every dictator and terrorist group, every strong man wannabe, every power hungry tyrant, every religious power player would like to see America diminished. The great novelist Robert Ludlum posited a world where groups such as these aligned. Anyone in other words who seeks to gain advantage in a world where crooked deals rule in the absence of law, where money is the sole source of power.

They still haven't recovered all the gold and silver and money from WWII!

8. Mostly the wealthy, who believe that government...

... should only be run by the owners.

German industrialists mostly supported the Nazis too. They were viewed as the strongest opposition to the socialists and communists over there.

6. Nope...we are allowing buffoon trump and the republicans to destroy democracy

It is up to us to not allow it to happen, it is up to Democratic leaders to do something to push them back into the swamp where they belong. Go for lawsuits, republicans would if the coin was on the other side. Make them work for their corruption.

10. Nixon had no grounds to challenge the election

That is why he didn’t. Bad analogy.
