Over 1/4 of the Republican Party supports a fascist.

Get your head around that. That's how far the party of Lincoln has come. That's not to mention the percentage that would support a Christian theocracy under Ted Cruz or Huckabee. Think about that folks, the next time you blast either Hillary or Bernie. Think about who a GOP winner would appoint to the Supreme Court.

The focus on Trump as the uber asswipe dismisses the real issue. A large number of Republicans are fascists. We have always known them as racist, hateful, under educated, and non-Christian but now we have proof of their contempt for humanity.
The real news the MSM should be reporting on is not about Trump but about his minions.

I'm more inclined to think like 3/4 definite is and another 1/4 secretly dream of being dominated by the rest.

The problem isn't just Trump, although that fucker's a huge one.

The problem is the potential for ANY of these reactionaries to be President. Let's not get into the horrific "All Three Branches" scenario UNDER one of these reactionaries.
