      More like our ability to tolerate madman. He is just one person. This does not bode well for the future of the US.

        I mean frankly, what the fuck are the american people even doing? I mean the Germans had the argument of actually being made criminals for belonging to a different party within half a year of the Austrian painter taking power.

          Its easier to get away with things if you let the avg person keep on living with out interfering with them.

          For the majority of Americans there no direct effect on their day to day life. There secondary effects and indirect effects on all of us, but because they arnt physically harmful, directly viewable or caused by something with in the immediate region where they live.

          People can and will just ignore them. Its been like that though of all of human history.

          What does the present care for? Their food, water and warmth. What the king does many miles away does not concern the present in any way that matters.

          So the present ignores it, till it’s too late.

        I dunno, seems like a certifiable bunch of people have been trying to do something about this “just one person” this past year and a half.

        It absolutely isn’t “just one person” either, this is the entire system. The rot is just laid so bare with this one fucking guy.

          Lol true.

          Oh the rot was always there, but our tolerance of Trumplethinskin is amazing honestly. Did he expose the rot or simply strip away all the coating to allow the rot to spread to the outside.
