So. yeah, there is no comparison between the Trump administration and any previous. This is the nadir of executive branches.

What seems to be lost in what I’m writing is that I’m not arguing Trump is not uniquely bad.

What I am arguing is that a Trump could not have appeared if the GOP had not been training their voters for just such a person, and prior administrations and congresses their own people building up to what we have now.

There are decades of Republican politicians going to jail for everything from graft and corruption to paedophilia.

Imagine a number line … Trump is the worst they’ve produced now. Remember back in the days it was said no one could be more awful than GW Bush? Or before him Nixon?

Trump could not have gotten here without their help. This wasn’t his first run at the presidency. It was his fourth.
