Countdown to a Free America
#36
The 2016 election, if not the result of political shenanigans, is the result of a demagogue making promises that he can never achieve. The 2020 election will make the current President electorally accountable.

A scenario in which farm income plummets and the stock market loses half its valuation could give America this sort of election:

Donald Trump (R, inc) 54
conservative Mormon favorite son (I) 6
the new FDR (D) 478

This prediction depends upon some contingencies yet to happen that I cannot rule out.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
