Senior Trump Official: We Were Wrong, He’s a ‘Fascist’

They achieve some measure of success, come to believe they know everything, and then coast from there.
These people always fucking knew it, it's just that now supporting Trump is politically and professionally unviable. Fuck these people.
They should be in the same fucking boat as the nutters that invaded the capital.
The good news, if you worked in this Administration it's a blackmark.
I-I was in a c-coma!
They really did, they really did.
What a weird article. This guy literally admits to abandoning any semblance of moral and principle all for the sake of enacting (shitty) conservative policies. He knowingly describes the work as dealing with "insanity," and comes just shy of admitting that they all know Trump has been a garbage dump of a self-serving human being all along. They've all known, all along, that he's absolutely unfit to serve as President of the United States.
To that extent, fuck this clown. No one within Trump's orbit who has in any official capacity defended his time in office should be given an inch of sympathy. Every senator that voted to acquit him in the impeachment trial in the face of obvious and overwhelming evidence on their shitbrained "we don't want to overturn the 2016 election" rhetoric needs to have the Capitol Riots stamped into their records for all time and to full ridicule. If nothing else, they all knew right then who they were dealing with and what he could and would sink to. I consider all of these staffers traitors to the nation just as much as the jackasses who broke into the building, because they'd been given every warning and every opportunity to prevent this from happening, and they all knowingly looked the other way. Zero respect for any of them.

I can understand people saying Trump isn't a dictator. I do not, however, understand saying he's not a wannabe dictator.
He pretty obviously wants everything to be about him, cares nothing for rule of law as it applies to him and his supporters, and plays games with peoples' lives to keep or expand his own power.
Really, you could argue the Republican party as a unit has stopped giving a single fuck about democracy, but Trump especially? Come the fuck on.
Which reminds me, I remember Scott Adams saying in a blog once that people would go from calling Trump a fascist to saying he's incompetent.
Well, sir, President Trump surpasses all of our expectations, doesn't he? Managed to keep both titles, simultaneously. What a run

I really really really hate how ignorant we our about our own country.
We had an entire half the country up and succeed and fire on US troops because they were mad they lost. We had literally backroom bargaining to allow terrorism against blacks in the south so install someone who lost the presidential election, we've had senators almost kill each other on the floor of the senate. JFK almost assuredly cheated in 1960. We've had a women leading the country for over a year because her husband had a stroke instead of letting the VP take over. We've had congressmen shot in the capitol.
This white washing of the past is a large part why our country is so fucked up. We think we've never messed up and shocked this is happening when similar things have happened before. the mythologizing needs to stop. Europe learned in WWI and WWII where that ends up getting you.
"We've never had anything like this!!!"
dumbass the guy lincoln beat went on to LITERALLY BECOME THE SECRETARY OF WAR FOR A MOVEMENT FIGHTING AND KILLING AMERICANS
They're really going for that last minute redemption, eh? Better late than never, but I still say 'Fuck you'. They knew it all along, they saw it but the reason why they did nothing was easy; They didn't care. Now that the boat is sinking, they're hoping to get in the life raft and save whatever professional and social future they have by BRAVELY denouncing him.. days before his term is up.
All I can say is, good luck with that. In the age of information and internet, there's no such thing as 'forgetting'.

They're all trash who put party over country, but Mark Meadows is a seditious worm who deserves to be thrown under the bus even harder than this. He's played a large role in leading Trump's hand to this point.
People think of dictators as masterminds. They tend to rise to the top of power structures while navigating complex or chaotic political environments. That tends to make them seem "fit" and "clever" (in the most cynical sense) in hindsight.
It's hard to see Trump as anything other than a moron bumbling his way upward through life out of sheer luck and privilege, which doesn't gel well with this picture. Well, except for his base...
They don't realize that most of the time it's just the right motherfucker jumping on the right opportunity to backstab at the right time. It's happenstance. That fits a lot more with him now ain't it.
I believe they should be too. You unforunately have too much of an important position to now use the "I wasn't aware of it card". People litterally bank on your "values", for them to feel safe and you let them down. Huh, now I'm mad.
They were there for the Access Hollywood tape. They were there from the beginning. No sympathy. If they truly feel guilty, get him on tape.
