Why is trump allowed to cyberbully,

Name call and degrade, on twitter?

I'm am fearful we are observing the downfall of our democracy and society. What comes next? How do we pick up the tatters?

Am I willing to put my life on the line? Yes. Will it be worth it? Likely not. How will I know when and how to do it?

His jabs may be incoherent and childish, but now that he's president he's guaranteed coverage. If he had much of anything else going on, the MSM would probably be willing to focus on it.
