Anyone still thinking of Trump as the cause instead of the symptom is kidding themselves. He's been powerless for almost 4 years now and MAGAism is at an all-time-high. There's a much larger reckoning America needs to face instead of pinning Trump as some sacrificial lamb.

Let’s start by getting rid of that fat fuck and send him to prison until he ends up in a pine box.
Fuck him.
Then, let’s go after all the other traitors.
Start by getting him to spend one night in prison then you can plan out the rest of this.
He isn't powerless though. Mike Johnson blocked the border bill, and is blocking any other bill exactly, because he told him to do it.
He currently isn't holding any office, but the GOP is still doing what he tells them.
Him not having power is only on paper.
Trump has more control of the GOP Congress than Biden does of the Dems in Congress.
Well… I’m not sure I’d want the President to control the legislature, regardless of who the incumbent is. Checks and balances and such…
You need me to write a check to cover the balance, Mr. President?

And pneumonia is just a symptom of AIDS, COVID, etc. Sometimes the symptoms will kill you before the cure can be implemented. Ignoring the dangerous effects would be just as foolish as not addressing the root cause.
Yes, he is the symptom, but he's also the greatest threat to this country at the moment. Capitalism will eventually need to be done away with, but that's harder to do under a fascist dictatorship.
Louder for the ppl in the back plz!
Face what? Poorly funded educational systems? Christo-fascism? Social Media? Corporate-run/for-profit news/media outlets? Funny how the guy not in power has so much pull in our government that he could persuade the Republican-controlled house of reps to withhold voting on immigration - the very thing this 'lamb' uses to scare up his base. Sorry my guy, but he's part of the problem, too.
All of the above and then some. A person doesn't get ~74,000,000 votes off a campaign of overt hatred without some larger societal issues in effect; people whose lives are going great don't generally respond well to "we need to get rid of these people."
Is MAGAism really at an all time high? In my mind it seemed to have peaked during his presidency.
Unfortunately, while your statement true, we need to win the battle before we can win the war.
Just because the gun we have to our head was bought by someone doesn't make it not the biggest threat right now

I think it is more the oligarchy that rules everything and controls all the media. Trump is a POS, but he is a symptom of a larger problem.

More specifically its the people that support and enable him. If it wasnt him it would be someone else. The undercurrents of fascism have been brewing since before the end of ww2
I'm not saying you're wrong, but calling Trump's supporters a "basket of deplorables" is probably not the best way to get some of the more moderate, more-likely-to-be-wooed voters away from him on election day.
True. Gotta stop that too. Speaking from an emotional state gets you shorted in almost everything
WW1 and ~~actually~~arguably since the hapsburgs captured the vast majority of European power through marriages.

Hey, this isn't desperate deflection. One of these comments is not like the others.
He's really more of a puppet or useful idiot. Like a mascot for the red team.
