How the Fuck Is Trump Ahead in Most Swing States?

Donald Trump is not a Republican. He’s not a conservative. The truth is, he couldn’t give a flying fuck about issues of concern to traditional conservatives and the Christian right. He only cares about one thing: himself …and feeding his rapacious, insatiable appetite for attention, money, and absolute power.

What Trump is is a fascist. A dictator-wannabe whose sole motivation is to shut down the criminal cases against him and become president-for-life, like the foreign strongmen of his fantasies. And this is certain: He continues to pose the greatest threat to our democracy since our founding 247 years ago.

Which is why it’s more shocking and unfathomable than ever that true conservatives, evangelicals, could still be pledging undying fealty to this dangerous monster even after two impeachments, four indictments, 91 felony counts, rape, and his relentless attacks on the Constitution and every single American institution, norm and boundary.

And even more shocking is that a year out from the election, Trump, according to a new poll from the NY Times and Sienna College, is leading President Joe Biden in the critical battleground states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada.

What the fuck is wrong with America?
