3. "If the last 100 days of the 'Trump Regime' have not convinced you of what I have just written,

then either you are an idiot or willfully ignorant."

Damn!!! This is SOOOO good...

"The Republican Party and its supporters are not interested in policy debate or democratic legitimacy. It is not interested in the rule of law or in the preservation of institutions. It is not interested in the founding principles, the Constitution of the United States, or in the preservation of the separation of powers. It’s a movement committed to holding power regardless of public will, driven by a coherent strategic vision: control the levers of government, and the levers will control the people. That is the goal. If you control the power, you will control the people. It is inherently autocratic, rejecting of the founding, and duplicitious. It cloaks itself in patriotism and the flag, but rejects both. It serves only one master, power."

"The “Trump Regime,” is the most refined expression of the impulses and emotions of the Republican/Conservative ideology since Barry Goldwater, untempered by commitments to logic, empathy, or rationality. It is the “id” of Republican ideology without the ego and superego. What is being expressed right now is the basic instinct of what the party believes and feels, untempered by rationality, thought, or reality."

"That is something Democrats have failed to grasp. It’s why for so long Democrats thought, 'Well surely, if we just give people information, they’ll “wake up” and then everyone will see the error of their ways.'”
