Giant anti-Trump Voltron

In a near-perfect world, all of these guys, Seth Abramson, Dan Rather, Cody Johnston, John Oliver, Trevor Noah, Wil Wheaton, Anne Rice and every other famous, influential voice I've seen and heard criticizing Trump (and also those I haven't personally seen or heard) would all form together into a kind of giant anti-Trump Voltron and just wreck all of his shit, once and for all, rather than each of them merely remaining separate entities with the reach, power, and influence of only themselves.

Or, at the very least, it could be sort of like all those big names coming together for "We Are The World," except this time it would be "Trump Must Go (To Prison)."

If absolutely nothing else, I kind of wish they'd at least all get together and compare notes.

"Will 2020 Be a Royal Rumble? - Between the Scenes | The Daily Show"


Yes. This, exactly.

The whole "you're Satan and the absolute worst and that's why I'm running against you in the primary, oops you beat me in the primary, all those horrendous things I said about you during the primary, true or not, don't matter at all now, and now I'll throw my full, unbridled support behind you in the general election, because you're suddenly the bestest awesomesauce ever, and the other guy in the other party that you're running against now is the REAL Satan and ACTUALLY the absolute worst which is why you're the hero who needs to beat him" thing in politics has never not completely baffled me.

And it doesn't even work. It's part of the reason why so many "Bernie Bros" got so fed up and ended up (idiotically) voting for Trump (who truly was and is the absolute worst).

---

What I'm saying is... why can't more politicians be like John McCain (at least in this particular sense)? And yeah, listen to those pre-MAGA MAGAts there in the crowd booing him for being a decent guy.
