(#4942) The trump sideshow only increases our democratic wave

      The criminal acts of trump are non stop because that is how trump rolls. Which for the moment isn't all bad since he still has sway in republican primaries. His preferred candidates that have won are now vulnerable to being beaten badly by democratic opponents in the general election this coming November. But that is about all the good I can find coming from the worst person who was ever been an appointed president. I see polling where democrats are actually leading in the generic congressional preference category by .4% as of August 13, 2022. Which is quite remarkable given this is an off year election where historically the party out of power, republicans, gain seats in both chambers of congress.
     With the vote in very red Kansas we saw an attempt by republicans to enshrine a draconian abortion law into the state constitution be surprisingly defeated. Not just defeated but beaten badly. We have seen two house races for special elections in red districts be surprisingly close although still republican holds. Yet the mood is that democrats are on the march and republicans are reeling. Given the situation with trump's daily exposure of law breaking and the incessant attempts by republicans to instill strict abortion laws into several states the people of America are showing that they have had enough of the nonsense that republicans are so all in on.
     With questions now about espionage and traitorous violations being alleged the republican party cannot stop shooting itself in the foot. Not only are trump and his acolytes being scrutinized for horrendous violations of constitutional malfeasance but they are fighting the forces of our government designed to protect our democracy. They are calling for defunding of the FBI. They are exposing the personal data of agents who are doing their duty. They are calling into question the viability of government at all when it is aimed at their obvious crimes. The republican party would be happy to destroy our democracy so that they can install themselves as permanent rulers and that is exactly what they are trying to do.
