42. And THAT, as I tell my MAGA acquaintances...

Is the difference between them and us. He'd NEVER be the standard bearer for our party. We wouldn't tolerate the racism, sexism, and flat out stupidity and corruption. And if for some reason we lost our collective minds and the powers that be DID nominate such a disgusting excuse for a human being to be the leader of our country, I guarantee there would be such an exodus from the Democratic Party it would cease to exist.

The "man" has only been able to get this far because the Republican power structure saw him a a path to what their goal has been since Nixon. KKKarl Rove said it out loud during Bush II...a permanent Republican majority. These people hate democracy, and any policy that does not benefit the obscenely wealthy. They've been fighting us from Reconstruction, through the Union movement, Social Security, Medicare, Aid to Dependent Children...you guys know the list.

These people have to be driven out, and back into their caves. Only this time we need to dynamite the opening shut so they can't get out again. Either that, or give them a state they can all move to, and we could build a wall around that. They can call it Trumpistan, and revel in their ignorance. The best part is that within 3 generations, they'll be at each others throats, because no one will ever be pure enough.
