They want a President who is NOT a President. As they want a Government that is NOT a government

Somebody on MSNBC just said "Can you imagine if President Obama did this? Or President Bush?" I am guilty of these comparisons myself, sometimes daily.

But, what we have to realize is that when Trumpers hear that, it is magnificent to them..just reinforces WHY they voted for this pig. They want a President who is NOT a President. As they want a Government that is NOT a government.

We have all entered Ingrid Bergman's life in GASLIGHT. And one year is far too long to live there.

People are gaslighted all the time. Sometimes entire families are gaslighted. But an entire community, an entire country?

It will be hard to get our bearings again when this is over. If we survive.
