JFK's ghost is whispering to Trump like Sophia was talking to Miss Celie in The Color Purple when she was about to stab Mister.
That’s not true. Trump wouldn’t be doing this if was mostly right wingI could be wrong, but I've heard that most people in those orgs are right wing Stan Smith types anyway.
Lot of people might have to decide if they love Trump or their pension more. MAGAs go against their self-interest all the time so I can't call it
Time for the coup....
Yeah that also a problem sooner or later a Republican will get back in the white houseYeah “win every election” is not a plan. They were going to get back in the White House eventually.

Let me fix that for you breh but I think alot people on here forget just how racist America is alot White American of the types which makeup the majority of American people are cool with this happen so long as the right kind of people are getting hurt.Here is your government coup
Crystal Minton, a secretary at the prison who is also a single mother caring for disabled parents, had a somewhat different reaction — one that reveals an essential truth about the core Trump’s political appeal.
“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” Minton told Mazzei. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”
He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.
Think about that line for a second. Roll it over in your head. In essence, Minton is declaring that one aim of the Trump administration is to hurt people — the right people. Making America great again, in her mind, involves inflicting pain.
This is not an accident. Trump’s political victory and continuing appeal depend on a brand of politics that marginalizes and targets groups disliked by his supporters. Trump supporters don’t so much love the Republican party as they hate Democrats, a phenomenon political scientists call “negative partisanship.” They like Trump not because he sells them on the GOP, but because they believe he’ll stick it to the Democrats harder than anyone else.
The president’s particular brand of identity politics — the racist attacks on blacks and Latinos, the Muslim ban, his cruel treatment of women — similarly depends on negative rather than positive appeals. Antoine Banks, a political psychologist at the University of Maryland, wrote a book on the connection between anger as an emotion and racial politics. When politicians gin up anger, an emotion that necessarily has a negative target, voters tend to think about the world in more racial (and racist) terms. Trump makes his voters angry, he centers that anger on hated targets, and that makes them want to take his side.
This is what makes Trumpism work. This is the dark heart of our political moment. Even people who are tremendously vulnerable themselves, like Crystal Minton, support Trump because of his capacity to inflict pain on others they detest. The cruelty, as the Atlantic’s Adam Serwer says, is the point.
