The worst part of it is that tRump is transparently stupid, yet he's wrecking our democracy

You sort of expect the evil genius to come near to destroying the world before Bond stops him, but it’s difficult to accept that an obvious idiot and his band of fellow idiots can get away with destroying what great minds have built.

I blame the media before even the Rs. They helped him win. They encouraged his lies. They were the ones fascinated with what they let him get away with.

Their disinterest is also wrecking our democracy. We really needed them to stop this career criminal from ascending to the U.S. presidency... and they weren't there.

Bush and Trump don't get elected w/o the Electoral college, 2nd Amendment too vague, corporations are not people, women's and gay rights need to be spelled out, and many other flaws. The document needs to be modernized fast.

selfish, and every bit as responsible for the Trump destruction of our democracy as are the Republicans and the media.
