text: "Recovers as an effective governing force"? Was Trump ever an effective governing force or did I miss something? Trump is an effective looter and his party represents the looting class--the super rich. I confess, it's nice to see the Republicans spreading their hate-filled, dysfunctional political agenda around to more segments of society than just women and people of color. Now everyone with a functioning brain can see the Republican party for what it has really always stood for--greed, war, misogyny, violence, religious fanaticism, racism and naked stupidity. Trump and the Republicans will put Americans' gag reflex to the test. Then again, maybe Americans will finally figure their situation out before it's too late and Republicans murder their democracy. Or they won't. Democracy will survive in other more enlightened societies which is good to know.
