The correct way to get rid of Trump is to take away his majorities in 2018, and vote him out of office in 2020.
You'd be right if it were a rare thing. But we are not talking about politics as normal.
IT IS THE REPEATED DAILY scapegoating and vilification of MULTIPLE groups and individuals. This isn't a rare thing with this guy.
You are not getting it. If other politicians see his daily carpet bombing political vilification of any dissent as a lagit way of winning an election, that CAN have long term negative effects on our western values.
You, "Politicians lie".
Me, "No kidding".
Not the point. I am talking about his TONE and rhetoric as a tactic. Again, when you have even LAW AGENTS saying your rhetoric is toxic, this is no longer politics as normal, this is dangerous and destructive.
He needs to be put in his place to send a message that his carpet bombing vilification is not acceptable.
We have seen in past history where hyper nationalism, political scapegoating and vilification can lead, and it never ends well.
I think you are fooling yourself if you think the climate he has set is normal. It is not normal.
