Like brower I knew decades before that Trump was an immoral clod, and said so on the old T4T forum over 20 years ago. I didn't yet know what would be the full extent of the destructive harm of his future presidency's policies. So long as opposition to Trump focuses only on his personality, and even only on his corruption and treasonous sedition, it misses the point. It is the Republican ideology that needs to be disempowered.An immoral clod does nothing to stop/impede violence, makes excuses for it, ignores it, associates it with someone else or something else and helps it continue to go on for several months unchecked and stymies all efforts by those who want to help those who are under attack or do something about it to stop it. Well, we know who the immoral clods are these days. We know what side they're on and control as well. So, its just a matter of warning people and clearly establish the difference between those on the American right and the Left Wing Progressives (immoral clods).
I expect this (and have predicted this) to happen gradually; not all at once, but through the 2020s. We'll see if it happens. Unless it does, our society remains mired in this delusive, unnecessary detour given us by the horrible charming faux-macho actor 40 years ago. It remains truly tragic in every way, and destined for total failure, for our country and for the world. The nation truly MUST decide whether to continue this horrible, destructive, neo-liberal, trickle-down, xenophobic and racist social darwinism, or not. Before this happens, indeed, "this Crisis has not yet hit a point where it can be said to be resulting in a renewed social fabric that is the primary benefit of the High."
