    Normally this would end a Presidency within days of making remarks like that.

    Nothing about this is normal.

    Don’t let them normalize this shit.

    Join the next general strike or you’ll be the next victim he can brag about or blame you for being a terrorist.

      One atrocity can dissolve a government. But one atrocity every day can keep even the most hated and incompetent leader in power for a long time. While we‘re busy processing what has happened yesterday he already committed another unforgivable crime. And it goes on and on and on. He simply overwhelms the people with atrocities to the point everyone fights their own battle and debates which of the many crimes is worse and needs to be addressed.

        That’s been his style of political discourse forthis entire run. It’s a neverending fountain of shit with some of it sticking to the wall.

      The only way to stop it from normalizing is by stopping it from happening. People can’t negate the normalizing process by sheer will.

      Yeah Trump has amiably shown what political commentators have said for decades, the US-system is too easily exploited by the executive concentrating power and removing the safeguards other countries have in their setups.

      Surely another protest and a strongly worded letter will set him right.

      People over there should skip the “maybe he’ll blame me as a terrorist” fear, he’s doing that anyway, and just jump right to the action of clean-up. French-style.

      Resist and unsubscribe, if everyone did what they could, might be more effective.

      Can you point to more than a single instance where when a controversy ended a presidency?

      It was already normalized.
