That's what it took to do what none of the others could. This vengeful useful tool of Putin's with the mind of a child more malleable than Playdough without filters or rational thought. The puppet that all Republican strategic manipulators before him put everything they could to back his play, this guy.
Nixon got caught lying and cheating, Reagan got caught just when his mind went to mush, Bush Sr. was only able to get away with his lies for 1 term. The Supreme Court appointed Bush Jr. as our President who lied us into a war and nearly bankrupted the Country but none of them could break our Nation.

No, it took this guy to do it. Sure, he had a lot of snakes help him but those snakes some of them the same snakes for 50+ years couldn't get it done without the Felon.

We, historically, collectively did not consider what he's done as possible. When I say this "fast" I'm referring to the last 55 years in which he has only been involved in the last 9. 10 since the escalator. He's accomplished what Japan, Cuba, Russia, China, Saudi's, the Southern States, and domestic terrorists couldn't do. In that respect, idiot that he is, has been quite successful.
All because he wouldn't listen to the people that told him "you shouldn't do this or that."
We, Democrats included, allowed this by not having enough imagination to think "what if". We were concerned about nuclear war from foreign countries, not domestic annihilation from within. We need to police our own leaders and hold them accountable, hold ourselves accountable for this failure to imagine the worst case. And then solve for the problem before it's a problem.
