      Bullshit, without the disease he could never, ever have taken office. No functioning Republic would allow it

      Just to be clear: symptoms are part of a disease.

      Trump is a symptom and also part of the disease. Is there more to the disease than just trump? yes. There are kind of a lot of parts of this disease and they include effectively all of the current Cabinet, House, Senate and Judiciary. Some of those symptoms are democratic and, while I consider many of these democrats to be personally accountable for the issues we face, I also hold that the system is the real problem.

      The existing system is the disease and, while we made it over 200 years, I think about the phrase ‘a more perfect union’ in that a perfect union is a goal, but was not a guarantee and bad actors will find loopholes and vulnerabilities.

      We tried to get rid of kings; and did for a time, but eventually replaced them with technocrats.

      There’s only a handful of them, and a LOT of us. Let’s aim for the next more perfect union and ditch these modern kings.
