No ....no it's not it just isn't. What this is a sensationalist headline trying to sow discord, despair, and defeat.
I understand the implication of a future where Trump or his like were in charge, but as dark as it looks I still think the majority of our country has better sense than to elect him president again. So what if he makes the Republican nomination it just confirms their lawless criminality.
In other words STOP with the crap attitudes that trump is "Inevitable" Shit... he's not.
I'm not sure enough people with enough sense are actually voting...
Would reminding them that Trump is a major reason abortion rights are on the backslide in the US help? Or that Republicans are running around banning (or trying to ban) books from libraries? Or that Republicans are largely refusing to allocate taxpayers' money to help taxpayers?
How are Republicans refusing to help taxpayers?
Here's a recent article from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities detailing how they're refusing to help in the form of the most recent House appropriations bill.
It boils down to the fact that the Republican party's position as being fiscally conservative typically entails reducing government spending by cutting funding to and thereby underfunding domestic programs that help taxpayers/citizens.
Only everything they do.
