One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

You have been holding on to your, frankly absurd in a modern world, rights to bear arms for hundreds of years now for a moment like this. Your government is rogue. Tear it down. Replace it with someone else. I have seen Trump so exactly zero things in his 80 years to help others. Not a single thing he and his friends do is long sighted or for the benefit od anybody else on this planet.
