How Far We Have Fallen!

 

I just saw a clip of Harry Truman talking about the difficulty and the responsibility of the presidency. I couldn’t help but think: How far we have fallen! Farther than I ever thought possible. Perhaps even farther than our democracy can survive. After all, our fascist president is trying to impose restrictions on voting that will, most of all, disenfranchise people who tend to vote Democratic. He knows he can’t win a free and fair election. He knows that, in a free and fair election, he and his billionaire fascist reporters will lose power, and power is all he cares about. Donald Trump is an irresponsible moron. He doesn’t know one tenth of what a president needs to know, and he doesn’t give a shit that he doesn’t. He may not even know that he doesn’t. He uses every chance he gets to speak publicly to lie. He lies and lies and lies. We can’t believe a single word he says, and we never have been able to. He truly is an American fascist, and so very many of us either love it that he is a fascist or just sit idly by and watch him destroy our democracy. Yes indeed. How far we have fallen!
