Because he has not been held to account, Trumpism has spread across the US landscape like metastasized cancer, with GOP politicians who aspire to corrupt strongman status emulating him in every state
I want to point out a lie that I just did the research on. Proctor and Gamble spends about $4.7 billion on marketing, but most of it goes to market 6 products. P&G are VERY successful with this marketing, mainly because they sell what people want and their products do a good job. Maybe some competitors do better or are cheaper, but P&G products do the job pretty well for an acceptable price. People like P&G largely because of their marketing, while knowing that P&G products also work.
OK, $4.7 billion on mostly 6 products, call it $800 million to make sure all Americans know why they should buy Tide laundry detergent.
Now look at the DNC. Their advertising budget is $3 billion. SuperPACs add at least as much.
Clearly, the DNC is LYING when they say they don't have the money to get the message out. It's obviously total BS.
Look up their spending. 80% of the money goes to massively overpaid and even more massively underperforming consultants.
Folks, it's just a luxury retirement fund for ex-operatives. I'm sure the NaziRepublican Party does the same thing.
So, what can we do? I only donate directly to Progressives who neither accept or pass along money to the Party.
If the Democratic Party would like to get 85% every election, JUST ADOPT THE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM 85% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT.
Of course, that would drain the luxury retirement fund because if they got 85% of votes, NOBODY would send any money.
I think many Americans totally miss a key point. Very few Americans pay any attention to politics, even fewer are active, and in my experience no more than 5% are well informed.
Some of this is laziness or stupidity, but by far, the majority of the uninvolved are working their butts off and raasing families and frankly do not have time to do politics for the politicians.
Let me repeat that - THEY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO DO POLITICS FOR POLITICIANS. They would if they had time, wouldn't like it, but would do it.
When we elected the Democrats to prosecute Nixon in 1976, and they didn't, many Americans gave up on politicians doing what the constitution requires them to do.
When we elected the Democrats to prosecute ReaganBush in 1992, and they didn't, even more Americans gave up on politicians doing what the constitution requires them to do.
When we elected the Democrats to prosecute CheneyBush in 2008, and they didn't, even more Americans gave up on politicians doing what the constitution requires them to do.
We elected Biden and Democrats to prosecute TrumPutin in 2020, which is one of their SWORN DUTIES in the US constitution. It's abundantly clear that AGAIN they intend to ignore the US constitution they swore to uphold.
The constitution only requires two things of citizens, to vote, and to protest.
I read your “short” list of Trump’s crimes, and I can feel steam coming out of my ears. I still cannot believe that a substantial number of people who believe the lie about voter fraud. How many people would that have taken to pull off such massive fraud? If Trump is not held legally accountable and made to pay a price commensurate with his crimes, the rule of law in this country will be dead.
The Trump presidency was a well-reported crime in progress. That's an apt description of Donald Trump's life as well. He is a testament to how much this country worships wealth.
Trump and Putin are psychopaths; they probably recognized that in each other. We kept trying to figure out what "kompromat" Putin was holding over his head, when in truth, it's likely they just see eye to eye, psychopath to psychopath. It wouldn't be the fist pair of murderous, sick bastards to work together. These are NOT human beings, humans are what they hunt down and use. That's a big ugly concept that most people cannot wrap their heads around.
Both of these criminals have been exposed, but the old saying is "money talks and bullshit walks". If you are the prosecutor, you know you will be up against those funds and what influence it can buy. Hell, you'll also be up against jurors and judges that worship that wealth as well.
Maybe the question is do we as a nation HAVE what it takes to put him away.
