Trump is a symptom not a cause. The right has been planning this for many decades and many think it started with Powell Memorandum, 1971.

I can’t remember where I read it and searching isn’t finding anything.
Someone stated that extreme times lead to extreme leaders. The way to lead in extreme times is to be more extreme.
Removing Trump would not solve America’s problems.
But it just might stop them from getting much worse still. 7 Months. That's not a whole lot of time. Now extrapolate with more and more of the brakes disabled.
We're not even in "extreme times". There's no major wars, the economy is strong, we're recovering from recent disasters better than most nations.
Literally everything here is self inflicted. The "extreme times" are just the rhetoric pushed by the Republican party, constantly making up new bogeyman about blood rivers in the streets of Chicago and trans hypnosis on children.
Meanwhile real extreme times are sneaking around beneath the surface, decades away but in clear sight, and the Republican party calls it a hoax.
> the economy is strong,
In what way? The stock market is not the economy.
There's no way the U.S. economy can completely weather what's going on.
Other countries will be pulling back and switching as much as possible.

Yes, because of US actions, the US being unreliable and unpridictable.
In November, when people voted, the economy was relatively strong and things (return or manufacturing, balance in the dual mandate) we're looking good; before the innumerable self-inflicted gunshots.
We do not live in "extreme times".
