2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Somber Republicans in sack cloth and ashes on my TV this morning [View all]Enoki33
(1,587 posts)32. Almost a year ago my eye doctor told me what is needed is for the
Republican Party to to be politically smashed and the bacteria excised before being rebuilt by balanced people. In that sense he said Trump was a useful idiot. Little did he know that Trump would prove himself to also be a useful idiot to the tyrant Putin. Today I watched an old movie on TCM entitled "Confessions of a Nazi Spy" and once again was reminded of how cherished our democracy is - my ballot was resting on top of the nearby fireplace - and how much Trump is a malignant cancerous threat to it. He is not a sane person. He has to be rejected and then ignored, but not before being filed away as a reminder never to let it happen again.
