Ah yes, our descent into fascism continues. Now we have the ATTORNEY GENERAL, highest lawyer in the country, pressuring a media outlet to not give unfavorable coverage to the president.
It is IMPERATIVE that we get this guy out of office. I don't think our democracy can last another 4 years. It will only embolden Emperor Trump to keep chipping away at us until we may no longer have elections. I'm so furious and disheartened that no one outside my liberal circle cares about this. Fucking loonie, corrupt, foolish, blind, hateful, cynical, sleazy, lying, cheating, unprincipled, power grabbing Republicans are too far gone to care (and in many cases are even delighted by keeping Trump in office as long as possible), and that's to be expected. But centrists? The (normally) politically apathetic? 3rd party supporters?
They have no excuse. Middle class ignorant folk are sedated by having every comfort a wealthy, 1st world country can provide. They're asleep, and are too lazy and confused by hyper-partisan bickering and media that keeps them stupid to put in any effort to stay informed and politically aware. They've taken freedom and democracy for granted and once they wake up, once it actually starts impacting their lives and directly inconveniencing them, it'll be too late.
