      The people who can stop this are sufficiently privileged that they don’t feel they’ll be affected by Trump, and/or they hate paying taxes more than theyre worried about fascism.

      They’re also oblivious to history, both recent (Nazi Germany and the Night of the long knives) and modern day (Putin’s Russia, and the fate of oligarchs who crossed him)

      They want to hurt us. It’s the common denominator for many.

      The other stuff is noise. Porn stars, confidential papers, fraud, none of that matters. Because it doesn’t matter.

      It’s the backlash. We weather it or we don’t.
