    Trump is just the symptom, he’s not the disease. He has thousands of enablers and supporters throughout government, including the Supreme Court.

    If we got rid of Trump tomorrow, the disease would remain; those thousands of people won’t disappear. This could not happen in a healthy republic, we’re far beyond that now. Super PACs rule and cash is king; both parties are not the same, but they are both bought.

    Did you know that foreign countries can also “influence” our parties through Super PACs? Our representatives don’t work for “us” any longer, we don’t have enough cash to compete against multi-generational corporations and foreign governments.

    And our only legal recourse is to ask our representatives to stop gorging themselves. They will not.
