At least three cities, Seattle, Minneapolis and New York City, appear to be committing suicide (citycide?) in puckish defiance of Trump and the safety of their citizens. These are Democrat-controlled cities in Democrat-controlled states whose elected officials are either too weak or too stupid to pull themselves out of the death spirals they are obviously in.
President Trump has this rather unique effect on his opponents ... pushing them to commit hari kari as proof of their hatred of him. These city mayors and state governors are not alone in their political suicide ritual ... Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and much of the Democrat national establishment are also following the polls by denying Trump any hint of victory before the November election ... all in the hope that voters will not wake up to this deception and throw their sorry asses out of office.
So far, they seem to be right. Trump looks weak by his forced inaction and is slumping in the polls ... this is because coronavirus is making a comeback, the economy is still on life-support, the iconoclasts control many of our streets, and Congress is sitting on their hands. The Orangeman seems to sense that those three cities mentioned are booby-trapped if he were to try to fix things ... so he is without a good solution until public opinion has had enough of this lefty lunacy.
Will the US electorate awakening happen before Biden sweeps up and invites Xi to occupy the White House? The answer, dear liberal readers, is within yourselves. Are you willing to believe that Trump, if given half a chance, can Make America Great Again? Are Trump’s petty annoyances tolerable for another four years? It’s either that or we surely will become another Venezuela ... or, worse yet, Jonestown.

I do wish you'd change your binary appeals. Sure it is a liberal faction tearing up cities, flags and statues. And it is the conservative Trumpists who seem to drink the purple Kool-Aid already. It is the moderates you are trying to sway. There are a lot of moderates out there.
Isn't giving Trump one term precisely half a chance? And his "petty annoyances" are not tolerable for even another four months.
Trump has had 3 1/2 years encumbered by every ruse and subterfuge that the Washington elites could conger up. Watch Morning Joe to see an unending litany of these petty annoyances ... laughable most.
As the CEO of a privately held business, he should be able to move money around and make decisions that are appropriate for his goals and his re-election agenda.
But that is not how a system of checks and balances works. Think of it as more like the divisional manager of a publicly held company. There's a board of directors. There are stockholders. There is transparency. There is an audit ability.
He has a businessman's skills. But h shrill anxiety emerging from his
Finish?
I pulled the trigger a bit early...
Trump has brought out all the ugliest traits in our fellow Americans, and given hate and bullying a figurehead. He has done decades worth of damage to our unity as a nation and to our values, disrespected the office of President, and made gut feelings dominate his decision-making rather than pragmatic solutions from an informed team.
Your assessment of the state of America is pretty close to actuality. But your reason for it is wrong. One can see this by the irrationality of their attacks and seems to me to be much more a reaction to Trump than being directed by Trump. This reaction is driven by the entrenched government and corporate interests fighting to save their golden goose from being snatched from their hands and passed around the middle class. For example ... what will Apple do if Trump fundamentally changes our relation with China? What will FBI’s fiefdom look like if General Flynn had turned them upside down and shook out the roaches. Many elites are angry at Trump ... because he threatens their cushy life. By “them,” I mean the elites in government, higher education, the military, many state governments, Hollywood and, unfortunately much of corporate America. Quite an enemies list! (I think you might also be on it.)
If Trump is ousted, the swamp will be eternal.
