Trump did not create the worst dysfunctions of our democracy; our worst dysfunctions created him. He's the symptom, not the cause, of a dangerous slide away from vital democracy toward corporate authoritarian rule. The slide began 40 years ago and he's simply the climactic event.

Impeaching or defeating Trump will not be enough to correct all wrongs. We need to do more than not go over the cliff; we need to get out of the vicinity of the cliff. Otherwise, the forces he represents will be back in '22 and '24. The deeper corruption is bigger than one man.

Until we get the money out of politics -- repudiating the corporate aristocracy now dominating our government -- then government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" will remain frozen as words we no longer even try to embody. Our generation's job is to change that.

There’s a lot of ignorance, lack of education and tribal behavior masquerading as patriotism; as seen in white nationalism, basically modern-day Nazis, and these conditions favor the rise of dictatorships.

NO!! The left is panicking because Trump is exposing the Dems for the corrupt faces of evil they are. The left has never had anyone stand up to them like this. Kind of like when Ralphie beat up the bully in Christmas Story( trying to be festive) or does this offend the left also

Tell me Marianne, can you take an honest assessment of the last 3 years of Washington DC and speak to where you see the corruption thriving most?
