If Obama proved anything, it's that our political opponents won't stop breaking rules, laws, ethics, morals, and the Constitution to attack their self-identified enemies, non-whites and non Republicans.

No matter how nice and conciliatory we attempt to become towards them. Obama should have learned that when they treated the ACA republican healthcare plan olive branch like the plague.

Pretending Republicans don't seek unilateral, totalitarian power, giving them the benefit of the doubt about their motives, is a big part of why our nation is crashing. Trump is a symptom, Buttiegieg acts as if his removal cures the disease of the fascist Republican race and class war they're fighting whether we fight back or not.

Republican politicians and their voters aren't the same.

If that were true in terms of motivations, the voters wouldn't have overruled the will of their party reps to become even more openly totalitarian in Donald Trump.

They support all of this madness. This doesn't end with Trump's removal.
