What do progressives hope for, given the runaway criminality of the U.S. president?

The woman at left is what is properly called a “radical,” from the Latin for “root.” Pull it out by its roots, or in this case, burn it to the ground. I’ve heard this viewpoint expressed dozens of times, most recently by the wife of an old school chum.

I’m as disgusted by the downward spiral that Trump is inflicting upon the United States is experiencing as the next guy, but I can’t get on board with this.

My message here: every decent U.S. citizen wants this turned around, but we can do this without ruining the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans. Trump is suffering a plummeting decline in voter supporter. We’re more than halfway home back to reason, compassion for others, and most of all, rule of law.

I appreciate how upset you are, but I beg you to reconsider.

My family is one of countless millions of those that have been profoundly disfigured by Fox News since it came along in the late 1990s. In particular, my well-educated and well-read mother, in her mid 70s at the time, started to imbibe many hours of this right-wing propaganda per day, and soon began to parrot it at the dinner table, to the shock and horror of all those around her.

The point here is that she told me, shortly before she died, “Obviously, I don’t have a single point of agreement with Bernie Sanders, but I must admit that he’s completely sincere in his beliefs and in what he’s telling the American people.”
