one of the most serious problems with trump is that he believes his shtick. He uses his supply.
He actually believes the garbage he peddles. Which makes him an amazingly good salesman, but the worst president of modern times.
And now, very dangerous. What if you truly believed the other party had stolen an election and you were commander in chief, head of the executive branch, entrusted with enforcing laws? And you felt it was your responsibility to restore democracy? What would you do?
You'd probably try to use martial law to stop the steal, is what you'd do.
The question now is who Trump will get to go along with him.
We think everyone will laugh at him.
We don't know that. Americans are not special...they will become lawless fanatical anti-democracy fighters just like people in every nation have at some point.
30 days.
the difference is that in this country, people in general have too much to lose, and even more so in the case of the leaders. the status quo is too well off. Nobody or almost nobody wants to jeopardize that. Even the middle class that has lost ground is better off than they were a few generations ago.
What seattle said.
In general yes, but look at deep red districts and people who's livelihood depends on jobs that aren't long for this world. They're getting poorer and further behind the blue districts (on average at least) every year. There's probably a growing sense to some degree of "nothing to lose."
That path usually leads to productivity, booze, and pills rather than organized violence though
