Sen. Angus King says Senate intel report shows 'serious and disturbing' Russian link to Trump 2016
Why do you need to call people who disagree with you names?
Many people who believe in the middle of the road politics find Trump dangerous and disgusting both personally and for what he has done to the rule of law and impartial justice in this country. Accepting his disregard of the norms by which both parties have governed in the past will only come back to bite the GOP when the Democrats are in power.
Refusing to vote on supreme court nominees, refusing to accept career prosecutors recommendations on political cronies, unilaterally gutting environmental regulations that have been in place for decades, accepting the help of foreign governments in your election campaign and now, violating the Hatch Act by demanding federal employees work on your campaign speeches on government property and strong arming the FDA to approve a treatment for Covid that at best is modest without a double blind trial, all to support your election campaign
These have nothing to do with his economic or policy positions. They are naked attempts to subvert our democracy and continue an administration that lost the popular vote in 2016.

Sure, as long as it's our new troll's version of "truth and reality".
