And he's changing his mind again!

Now it looks like he is having second thoughts about striking Syria, just as he is rethinking his position on Pacific Free Trade, NAFTA, China Tariffs--in other words, doing what the Conservatives love to call 'flip-flopping' when they accuse Liberals of doing it.

Meanwhile, the Deplorables are getting whiplash by changing their position to support Trump as he repeatedly reverses course on almost every conceivable issue.

At the risk of being repetitive, I must point out once again that one man's ignorance, incompetence, malfeasance, neurosis and even criminal or treasonous behavior is not necessarily restricted to one political philosophy or ideology. But the unqualified support for (or at best, failure to recognize and condemn) this behavior seems to be issuing from just one end of the political spectrum: the Right.

Hopefully, whatever damage in the short term this ludicrous madman may do this country or to the world may be at least partially made up by identifying those who have made this Faustian bargain simply to lower their tax bills, ensure their profits and guarantee that workers' salaries remain low.

We will remember this man's policies, the people who supported them, and those who actively collaborated in furthering them. And we will also remember what happens when they are implemented without question; who suffers and who gains. The discrediting of Trump will probably not put an end to Fascism, any more than the death of Hitler. But they will force that hideous world-view to change its spots and disguise itself one more time.
