Two wrongs don’t make a right and Trump’s bad behavior is not going to be stopped by posting collective insults. If anything, they bind Trump’s followers more closely to him. What is needed is ways to pull those people away from Donald Trump but I’m not sure that’s possible. People are just plain too pissed off, and Trump will win if they cannot be assuaged.

They cannot be assuaged, Dark, because they don’t want America. They don’t want the hard work and uncertainty of self-governance. They don’t want to have to tolerate the different, they don’t want to think through difficult problems, they don’t want to weigh evidence and find the truth, they want a strong man who will punish all the people they hate and make everything better. They can’t be assuaged. They can only be defeated.
