Trump’s VP pick is a naked authoritarian ( www.vox.com )

Vance has said that, had he been vice president in 2020, he would have carried out Trump’s scheme for the vice president to overturn the election results. He has fundraised for January 6 rioters. He once called on the Justice Department to open a criminal investigation into a Washington Post columnist who penned a critical piece about Trump. After last week’s assassination attempt on Trump, he attempted to whitewash his radicalism by blaming the shooting on Democrats’ rhetoric about democracy without an iota of evidence.

2016 Vance was also an ardent Trump foe. He wrote a New York Times op-ed titled “Mr. Trump Is Unfit For Our Nation’s Highest Office,” and wrote a text to his law school roommate warning that Trump might be “America’s Hitler.”

Why do people call him a fascist, Hitler, and a rapist? I genuinely just want to know, I never hear anyone explain why.

Put trump and any of those words in the news section of google and you'll easily find out why.

I was really hoping the 2016 election would finally end this year. But the train were on just keeps picking up speed and I'm worried the bridge is out up ahead.

There never was a bridge. The Republicans cancelled the funding for the project.

Not a spine in the whole party is there
