The armed yahoos who stormed the Michigan state Capitol on Thursday are what Trump refers to as "very good people". As opposed to Democratic Congresspersons, journalists not of the FOX and OAN ilk, refugees at the Southern border, and basically anyone that threatens his ability to use the US Treasury as his own personal and permanent slush fund.
There's no question he's been deliberately stirring them up for insurrection; and if it ends up in a bloody gun battle, he wins a PR coup and can whip his base into an even greater frenzy. So what if Americans die? You can’t make an omelette without cracking a few eggs, as they say….
Too bad for those of us who don't want to... you know... DIE due to the recklessness of a minority of science-denying cousinfucks. And too bad for all those in their circle of contacts who have no say in the matter: front line emergency responders, police, health care workers, children, the elderly....
In a sane world, this would've been shut down pronto.
We're no longer in a sane world.
Psychologists are saying alarming things: that Trump is a "malignant narcissist" and a "sexual sadist". The shorthand for that is that he gets off on people suffering and even dying, and the more threatened he feels, the more people he's going to try to get killed.
That's why there was a coalition of psychologists and psychiatrists petitioning to have him examined and likely removed from office. 60,000 people have already signed.
There's even one who argues - convincingly - Trump may well wipe out the entire human race.
They also agree unanimously that he will do anything to stay in power.
I don't think it's going to be the usual dirty tricks in November. Trump’s literally been pushing for a civil war.
So I think it's going to be gangs of armed thugs storming election centers and even mowing down voters at the polls.
God I hope I'm wrong.
We’d better be ready.
