Rick Wilson coined the term and it has proven incredibly prescient.

Trump is The Destroyer. Of the US.

This is something Putin and his fellow gangsters recognized long before Trump was injected into the American political system. We were ripe with political discord and discontent. A shot of poison into the veins of American culture has brought the country to this moment: citizens against citizens, hate, bigotry, misogyny, all the rest.

Donald Trump is the cherry-on-top of this wicked recipe carefully curated, crafted by the enemies of democracy and carried out by domestic traitors.

This really is the fight of our lives.

Agent Orange, however, is a weak sister. He has fumbled and bumbled everything he's touched throughout his lifetime. His overreach is monumental and the incursion into American cities, the strongman's melody, is about to reach its crescendo. The economy sucks, he's threatening and preparing for war with Venezuela, attempting influence operations in Canada and Greenland while the man is rotting from the inside out. The Europeans have come out and flatly stated: Trump is operating at Russia's behest, an agent provocateur. The through-line is chaos, chaos, chaos, 24/7.

Never forget, never forgive.

Resist every day, everywhere, then all at once.
