Trump’s first term didn’t make him any friends with U.S. generals and admirals.   He followed up his referring to our soldiers as “suckers” and “losers” with pardoning someone who had been convicted in military court of a war-crime.

Yet it is his second term that has really propelled him into infamy.  Here we have:

Iran, Venezuela, deployments of National Guard troops in Democratic-led cities, destroying America’s confidence in democracy by repeating the lie that the 2020 election was rigged, renaming the Department of Defense and appointing an alcoholic Fox News host to run it, threatening to invade Greenland and Canada, the destruction of relations with our historic allies, his usurpation of power delegation to the Constitution to congress, appointing his personal attorney to the Department of Justice, ignoring the national security implications that accompany climate change, damaging America’s business interests with huge tariffs, and buddying up to world tyrants like Putin and Kim Jong Un.

The Top People in the U.S. Military Oppose Trump on All Major Issues

As the U.S. midterm election grow nearer, the two political parties are desperate to find their central narrative.  Coming down to the wire, it looks like this:

The Republicans still claim that life in the U.S. is becoming more affordable, and that we’ve won the war in Iran, yet they know that there is a limit to American stupidity. They are hunkering down on the idea that Trump is the only thing separating us from the communism of China and the former USSR.

Sadly for the GOP, the vast majority are more concerned that our nation is on the brink of losing its democracy to fascism.  We want the sociopath out of office.

Is the U.S. More Terrified about the Specter of Communism or Fascism?

Re: the meme here that a reader sent me, I’m not sure this is fair.

What social democrats are proposing exactly what most of the governments of Western Europe, and many other countries around the globe offer their citizens.

I don’t read too much about genocide in Denmark.  Are they killing each other with pastries?

Do Social Democracies Commit Genocide on Their People?
