Back in 2016 when Trump went on and on about building a wall and making Mexico pay for it, I honestly believed it was exaggerated hyperbole to rally his supporters. I said, "You can't take everything Trump says seriously, because this is obviously so dumb on so many levels that he's not going to do that for real." Then he became president and really did try to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it somehow. He failed hard on both accounts, although I think he managed to get ~50 miles of wall (or wall-like structure) built during his tenure, leaving him with only ~1,400 miles more to go. Anyways... the point is that when Trump says something outrageous about what he plans to do, then we should believe him no matter how dumb it is. |
I absolutely accept that it his words are his intentions. His ability to carry out those words is often lacking. But much of his failures were thanks in part to our institutions playing their roles accordingly and/or his lack of enough well placed sycophants to do his bidding. Both firewalls are severely compromised this time. The high courts are clearly in his pocket and he won't bring anyone on board that would not pledge absolute fealty.
Our single greatest weapon against him is simply to vote against him.
To the privileged, equality feels like oppression.
