In reply to Trump on Reporters, Hate Them, Wouldn't Kill Them

Fox Business News reporter does a gotcha on Trump projection:

Just heard @POTUS at this rally complaining about the use of anonymous sources. For the record he was one of mine over the years.

Even by our debased standards this morning has already been one of the most lunatic tweet sessions by @realDonaldTrump: attacks on the NSA, immigrants, a black congresswoman, Harley Davidson, and praise for North Korea. All before 11 am.

The president’s entire political strategy is predicated on conveying the message that everything is falling apart and only he can fix it https://t.co/UoEFlLYHOA

This is exactly what's wrong

In reply to well, FWIW Alex Jones sez

This is exactly what's wrong with the democratic party, no coordination with members. As one of the few liberal gun owners I am crucial to the success of this Civil War. I was all set to go on the fourth but I've promised my employer I would paint one of the buildings here on the third. Now I can't take part! Look, people have schedules and appointments. We can't reschedule on a dime. If this Civil War fails I won't take any of the blame you hear.

Even WaPo's Style Section, far from "indifferent":

"A president violating norm after norm. Immigrant children wailing for their mothers. A Supreme Court seat, open like a wound. A midterm election hurtling toward us like an avenging angel, or a killer asteroid." https://t.co/HzSAgMlvbA

Trump's supporters are

In reply to It's indifference to what is

Trump's supporters are clearly not indifferent. Look at his rallies. They're fired up and rowdy. Trump's opponents aren't indifferent. They're fired up and protesting. There is a significant group that doesn't vote and seem indifferent. But we really don't know what role they would play if they voted to help solve or exacerbate the problem of Trump. Polls of Americans versus polls of likely voters don't diverge significantly so I don't see that indifference as explaining anything.

I don't think anyone derides getting out the vote. We just don't see it alone as the solution and see other things that can be done in addition to GOTV.

It's indifference to what is going on in this country to explain away Trump's widespread support, his racist actions, appointments and rhetoric solely to his personal warped, needy personality. Perhaps it discomfits you to recognize the bigger picture. That is understandable. However, what he has started in this country, what he is breaking and the defacement of our institutions and values he is actively and successfully laying waste, won't simply repair themselves when he is gone. 63 million voters may look for his replacement.

You seem to ignore that fact, while you distract with charges of "civil wars" and assurances of Trump "killing" himself. Doing so with diligence and almost inexhaustible persistence and energy. While you also deride "getting out the vote" which happens to be the only path to retaking our government from the Republican/Trump base. A group who are enervated by, and gulping down the racist nihilistic kool-aid he and his GOP cohorts spew every day.

I think RM is very aware of what is going on and appreciate his posts and links, and encourage him to keep it up.
