Trump is not the threat - the End Of American Democracy is!

Trump has FULFILLED the DREAM Republicans have had of using DEMOCRACY to DESTROY DEMOCRACY.
The Republicans are; the paid and bought for arm of the Mercers, the Kochs the Adelsons and their Pet Fox, or "THEY" as I call them, and "THE 1%" as "THEY" call THEMselves.
"THEY" did it by using: “FREEDOM” and “LIBERTY”
A Tale of TWO VERY DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDINGS:
Personally, “I” believed (likely as most of you do): That Americans fought their revolution to earn “Freedom” and “Liberty” from the Crown “In order to form a more perfect Union” using their newly won Democracy as the tool.
An enlightened start to what could have become a monumentally spectacular HUMAN achievement! But it didn’t become one: Why? Because the 1% then, and the replacement 1%ers, ever since your founding — or “THEY,” as I call them — believed:
That Americans fought their revolution to earn “Freedom” and “Liberty” from the Crown “In order to form a more perfect Union” using their newly won Democracy as the tool. Using that tool to win “Freedom” and “Liberty” FROM GOVERNMENT.
In my 71 years, I first saw the massive strength and threat of THEY when Reagan was elected. He ushered in what would become: “Deregulate, Trickle Down, and Drown Government in a Bathtub.” When you “Drown Government in a Bathtub,” by definition, you get the End Game of both “Democracy” and “Capitalism.” 
You end up with: Anarchy, Monopoly, a Police State and or a Dictator.
In other words: Putin and his Herd of Oligarchs. Or: Trump and his Herd of the Mercers, the Kochs and the Adelsons’ and their Pet "FOX."
THEY took control of America by weaponizing America’s culturally damaged history of: First Nations Genocide, Manifest Destiny (the construction that made Genocide look almost palatable to some), the unspeakable abomination of Slavery and the equally massive abomination of generations of haters and racists maneuvering to do everything they could to reinvent or reconstruct your unspeakable historic racial hatred. THEY weaponized every wedge issue that any American could even imagine to make you ignore the 800 pound Gorilla sitting on your sofa, sitting quietly; eating your lunch and your future.
As an example, when many American Christians were trying to create more “White only drinking fountains” Canadian Christians were demanding “Healthcare for everyone.” When Canadian Christians were singing “All we are saying, is give peace a chance” too many American Christians were driving in pick-up trucks with “Kill a Commie for Christ” bumper stickers. THEY have even weaponized Christianity so that many have turned away from everything Jesus taught.
THEY, using America’s crushing cultural cleavages, and every wedge issue that could be invented or imagined, perverted your politics while THEY continued to prosper: financially and politically.
Then came the unspeakable “Citizens United.” When one person one vote became one dollar one vote. The final tool THEY needed to own America. 
The Final tool THEY used to destroy: Facts, Reason, Truth, Hope, America.
By the time Obama was elected THEY, the Top 1%, owned nearly 80%(+ish) of the “wealth” of America.
The Republicans, by this time owned by THEY, publicly bragged that they would appoint none of his appointees, support none of his initiatives (even if they were stolen from Mitt Romney, a Republican Governor of Massachusetts and the initiative was a feeble, flawed, mostly inadequate, health care proposal). They were true to their posturing and refused to “even consider” President Obama’s appointee to the Supreme Court.
In essence, THEY ARE: TRAITORS OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.
This Treason was the plan of THEY. The Republicans, bought and paid for, their tool. By now THEY are the Republicans only serious source of funds.
The 1% are using the Republican’s to purposely make Democracy so flawed, and so useless, that American’s would blame Democracy and not THEY.
AND AMERICAN'S DID!!!!!!!
So now THEY launched their End of Game Plan to destroy what little was left of your Democracy.
The Republicans came up with a plan to give themselves, their friends, and fellow travellers in the 1% (who already owned 80%+ of everything) a tiny raise. To achieve this, they wanted to put 30+ million MORE Americans OFF healthcare and GIVE the money saved to the 1% (who are the ONLY sources of income the gentlemen and ladies in the Republican Party have). A former soldier, with a brain tumour, gave that a "thumbs down." THEY went to Plan B - THEY put 13 million Americans off healthcare and wrote a check for 1.5 TRILLION (1.2 TRILLION ENDS UP IN THE BANKS OF THE 1%). THEY then asked your children and grandchildren to: "Please pay it." THEY then IMMEDIATELY announced (and I paraphrase) "Now that government income will be so low we really have to balance things by eliminating (as much as we can) of Medicare, Medicaid and other such nonsense.”
When the Republicans (the 1%’s useful idiots) had finishing raping American Democracy the birds still sang in Central Park. The media still chanted: “Both sides do it.”
BUT: Both sides don’t do it. Really. They don’t.
America now sees the "light at the end of Reagan's tunnel." Namely, the end game of "Trickle Down, Deregulate and Drown Government in a Bath Tub." When you "Drown Government in a bathtub" you end up with Dictatorship, Oligopoly, Anarchy. You also end up with, "The end game of Capitalism."
CONSIDER THESE TWO THOUGHTS:
1) It's hard for 10 people to play cards when one of them holds 90% of the cards.
2) It’s hard for an economy to provide, healthcare, schools, infrastructure, education, regulation, etc., etc. when 90% of all the wealth is circulating through the hands of 1% of the participants.
SERIOUSLY: WHAT DOES A BILLIONAIRE REALLY NEED FROM GOVERNMENT?
It’s obvious isn’t it?
THEY NEED:
No Regulations. A Drowned Government. Just enough of a Trickle Down so their servants can afford some food, and 11 Nuclear Carrier Battle Groups, with Special Service Forces in 87 Nations, protecting the 1%’s “businesses.”
Privilege must be protected, must it not? Humans? Not so much.
HOW AM I SO SURE?
THEY told me.
Recently, Sheldon Adelson, JUST ONE of America’s THEY Oligarch’s, wrote Paul Ryan’s Traitor’s Club a cheque for $30,000,000.00.
America, say, "Yes Uncle's Putin and Trump," and then just roll over. OR: Fight democratically, for your Democracy, like you've never fought for it before!
May the force be with you! You'll need it!
