Will You Keep Supporting a Maniac Right to the Brink?



Read article here.

This guy is capable of anything.  Anything!  There are no boundaries he will not cross.  There are no self-imposed limitations he will stick to.  There are no standards of behavior he feels bound by.  There is no limit to the number and class of people he will use, misuse and abuse to get what he wants.

If he has been accused (by Democrats or Congress or others) of something he did not actually do, it is only because he never thought of doing it, or did not find a way to make it work to his ends.

A man that has the full weight and power of the United States at his disposal, and is willing to misuse it simply to try to save face or recover from embarrassment is a man that is capable of any crime.

That's not even the worst part.  That's not even the saddest part.  That's not even the heartbreaking part.

The worst part is that the vast majority of people who should be speaking up the loudest against this are going to continue to keep silent, or even support it.  They are going to rationalize for "the greater good" or some such.  But the real reason they are going to continue to support Trump's deeds and even vote for him again is this:  They want to save face and avoid embarrassment as much as he does.  They made their decision and they won't admit they were wrong.  Just like him!

Too many voters bought non-refundable tickets on the Trump train well before they ever considered the long-term effects of taking such a ride.  So now they are going to stay on the train regardless of whether they like the scenery out the window right now.  Is there a bridge out up ahead?  Is a fiery crash in the works?  Do the train tracks even lead where you were promised to end up?

Check the map here.  We're not headed where you thought.  And the continuing silence or even tacit approval of Trump supporters only makes him more bold; only makes him more committed to the direction he's headed.

The train is picking up even more speed.  How far are you willing to ride it?
