It looks like Trump is setting the mood for the 1T.

Red as in hammer-and-sickle motifs.

What is funny is that when I was still a Marxist-Leninist I might have agreed with you PBR.  However, the material conditions that make such a revolution possible are not present and are unlikely to develop in the near future.  Never mind you keep using the Fascist word without recognizing it for what it truly means.  If Trump were a fascist there won't be a red revolution because he'll round up all the commies, anarchists and fellow travelers and dispose of them.  That is what fascists do.

There is nothing in President-Elect Trump's history that suggests he will do anything of the sort.  Indeed after watching his victory speech I expect him to be gracious in victory to those who didn't stab him in the back, even some Demcrats.  You only have to look at his treatment of Carson and Giulani to see that.  Cruz on the other hand is going to have a very hard time of it given his behavior.  Clinton pulled every dirty trick in the book so I expect her to be prosecuted for the e-mails and the Clinton Foundation.

I don't expect him to throw his base under the bus the way Republicans have been doing for decades.

Judging from all of the death threats coming from the left these days the Secret Service may have to hire some extra help in investigating them all.  From the video below it looks there has already been one attempt even before he was elected.  His security detail is going to get quite a workout in the coming years.

As a liberal who thought that he was a catastrophic fit for the Presidency and so wrote frequently, did I stab him in the back?

I see no good results from the shyster-driven economy that he advocated. He may have pleased people like retail clerks who wanted an ally against the educated middle class who would bring the middle class down to their economic level... I expect him to wreck the middle class  with higher taxes to fund tax cuts for the Master Class, the only people to whom he has any loyalty.  

I want to be something more in my life than my economic role, thank you. If I can't be, then I find life meaningless, liberty non-existent, and the pursuit of happiness at most something that I don't really care to do (get a whore, a smoke, get drunk, or pump a little money into a slot machine).

I find this a good explanation of how people get the most satisfying results in life:
