Trump 2.0 has begun
Less than a week after becoming president-elect, Donald Trump has already begun to fulfill his most fascistic campaign promises. Today, I discuss Trump's early actions before he's even been sworn in:

Steve, thank you for a masterful presentation of the terrible consequences of having elected this miscreant named Trump. I agree with you on the issue of deportation and your questions bring into focus just how awful this process will be. I agree on the perversion of justice that will occur under a true weaponization of government. The consequences of failing to continue our support for Ukraine, in my opinion, could be WWIII and the end of us all. However, I disagree about the issue of "wokeness." No law was passed requiring people to call individuals "they." No law forcing men and women to use the same shared public bathrooms was passed or requiring sports teams for women to accept transgendered women. All of these issues were lied about by Trump and his campaign. All of them were "tempests in teapots" used to frighten a gullible public. To me and most progressives "woke" means tolerance: the right to live your life as you choose without government infringement, not making targets of those whose lifestyles don't fit into Christianity stunted morality.
