    If Trump didn’t have a playbook I wonder if he could have accomplished the same tyranny he has.

    I’m in the US Virgin islands at the moment on a trip, and I had a good conversation with a taxi driver. Tourism is way down and they are all just as disgusted and feel just as helpless as the rest of us. It’s still a US territory, but anecdotally his shit is flinging on everyone.

      Yeah, even without a playbook it’s wild how much influence he’s had. Sounds rough in the Virgin Islands too crazy how his actions ripple everywhere, even in territories most people barely think about.

        It’s unfortunate and I’m embarrassed by my fellow countrymen. The US certainly has not often been on the right side of history, but in the here and now, I’m truly disgusted by it all.
