The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron
If you think things are bad now, then, brace yourself: it is about to get a whole lot worse. If you are alarmed at the speed with which the Trump administration has set about dismantling every institution of American government and every pillar of the international order, you must understand that this is not just the initial burst of activity, the “shock and awe” phase after which things will settle down: if anything, the pace will continue to accelerate.
The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person. Whatever the purpose to which he directs these powers – to impress his dictator friends, to further enrich himself and his cronies, to seize absolute power or just to watch the world burn – we must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Damn those Democrats! They did this to us by not making more of us voted for them.
Yeah! This is bullshit, we shouldn't ever have to try or promise anything meaningful! They should just shut up, quit asking us to work, and pay us for every melodramatic fundraising text we send!
Imagine saying the texts were melodramatic in the same thread we're complaining about what happened when a plurality voted Trump.
Bro, have you seen these fucking texts? It's not "Trump is going to dismantle democracy, and we need your money to do x to stop him", it's "GOODBYE MEDICAID! WE TRIED TO SAVE YOU BUT THE REPUBLICANS BULLIED US TILL WE CAME. IF ONLY WE HAD MORE MONEY :( Donate to Chuck Schumer now! Go.democrats"
And what is happening to Medicaid now?
Look, I'd actually consider giving a little money to the democrats if they weren't just treating this as a business as usual fundraising opportunity. Of course Trump is dumpstering Medicaid, and I have zero faith at all that giving money to the DNC will change that in any way. I have much more faith that money's going to get used hiring more useless consultants and sending more fundraising texts.
