Its Time to Thank Donald Trump for His Dictator Routine
b'
Most of us were horrified when Donald Trump hinted that he might not be willing to give up power. Rick Wilson was kind of appreciative. Trump has long flirted with the dictator thing. Now the mask is off. \\u201cI think the correct response to this is defiance,\\u201d Rick counsels on the latest episode of The New Abnormal. \\u201c\\u2018Thanks for being honest about it. And also fuck you, we\'re coming to vote you out of office and humiliate you.\\u2019\\u201d And while the Trumpkins are doing everything they can to undercut every ballot they don\\u2019t like, all of that election interference doesn\\u2019t matter if it\\u2019s a landslide. \\u201cIf there is a massive voter turnout on November 3rd, these are still only marginal,\\u201d Rick says. Molly Jong-Fast puts it more urgently when she adds, \\u201cThe only way our democracy is going to survive is if every Democrat goes out there and fucking votes.\\u201d Then! Molly talks to Danielle Moodie about the appalling results in the Breonna Taylor case. (\\u201cHow much does this country expect Black people to swallow? You want to be able to kill us with impunity.,,. And then you expect us, what? To wait for justice that we know is not going to come?\\u201d) And Sister Simone Campbell tells Molly who she thinks is the better Catholic in the presidential race. (\\u201cWhat we find is, Vice President Biden is totally in line with Pope Francis, caring for the unborn and caring for the born.) Plus! A dispatch from Qongress! A love letter to Mitch McConnell! (J/K) Pig farmers run wild! What to bring to Election Day! Who\\u2019s in Marco Rubio\\u2019s ratfuck brigade! And is there enough mayonnaise in the universe to turn Comrade Ron Johnson\\u2019s chicken shit into chicken salad?
