  1. Compared to Trump, Nixon was a saint. That’s how low this country has sunk under the fine tutelage of the Fascist oligarchs.
    They have managed to cobble together a White Nationalist, Evangelical Christian, Protestant base who will go through the gates of hell for Trump.

    The Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, Qanon, Liberty Counsel, Family Resource Council, Kingdom Identity Ministries are all a part of Trump’s White Nationalist, Evangelical Christian, Protestant base.

    All of these racist, homophobic, misogynists love Trump and he knows it.

    An old Sicilian legend holds that when a king becomes arrogant and stupid, they will meet a tragic end.
