It is easy to say Trump is out of control. To point at him and lay it all at his feet.
But look closer.
MAGA elected him — but you enabled him. You watched, you excused, you looked the other way, and here we are. That makes this partly yours.
It is time to step up. Use whatever power is yours to wield — a vote, a voice, a phone call to a representative who has forgotten who they work for — and put a stop to this. Because he will never stop on his own. That is not who he is. A narcissist is never satisfied. There is no finish line where he declares victory and goes home.
Approval is the only currency that matters to him. He cannot tolerate a single person saying no. Think about that. After years of watching him label and demean Democrats, it has become obvious that his problem was never their politics. It was that they didn’t vote for him. They said no. And anyone who says no becomes his enemy — worthy of punishment, worthy of destruction.
He doesn’t care about governance. He cares about winning. And he will burn down whatever he has to, hurt whoever gets in the way, to avoid ever being told he lost.
That should frighten everyone. Republican, Democrat, or otherwise.
