I hope Trump supporters aren’t blaming the Democrats for the man’s legislative failures. I would also hope they aren’t even blaming other Republicans. After all, he said, "I alone can fix the system." He didn’t need anybody else. "I alone" means exactly that.

Supporters appear to believe that Congress should be more cooperative so the president’s agenda can be advanced. Just get out of the way, the Trumpeters shout. Let him prove that he alone really can fix the system.

Since 2000, democracies around the world have been losing ground to dictatorships. Is this what a significant number of Americans really want?

I believe this president’s agenda borders on the immoral, as he has already signed executive orders that will further pollute our air and our water. He has removed protections for LGBT people. His proposals would allow the rich to get even richer and they will cause even greater harm to those with pre-existing medical conditions. We have seen increases in bullying incidents in our schools. Normalization of racism and xenophobia is reminiscent of days that we thought were behind us forever. Freedom of speech, religion and the press are on shaky ground. This is all fine if you agree with the dictator.

Remember, too, that wannabe dictators lie.

Lying is a right, but it is very dangerous when a significant percentage of the citizenry believe those lies. To boast that one can alone fix the system is a lie. Unless, of course, enough of you believe that lie.
