3. The fact that just a small majority think Trump has had a successful first year

frightens me. I don't feel that things can get much worse than they are. In practically every facet of so called American life. Prices are still high, we have ICE in cities acting like the Gestapo. Trumps entire Cabinet is packed with idiots, billionaires and way under qualified people. Most of whom have no idea what they are doing, except funneling money up to the rich and depriving Americans of government assistance. This is my 72nd year on earth, and the last ten have been ruined by this orange turd. This is not America, which in truth was really not the America that it bragged to be. But it was a lot better than what we have now. 50 years ago if someone predicted how stupid the average person would be now, no one would have believed them. And you have to be really low on the IQ scale to think Trump is anything but a dangerous idiot in a powerful position. I have cut off contact with people I have known for decades because they still believe all the bullshit they see on Fox News. And yes, they think Trump is wonderful. These are upper middle class, college educated, older adults that should know better, but they don't. It is painful and agonizing to talk to them and listen to their supposed superiority over POC, immigrants, or homeless people. America is at a tipping point, if we can't get rid of Trump by this time next year, I think we are doomed to becoming a third world country with nothing but wealthy and the rest struggling to survive
