The more I reflect on this, the more I am certain we have voted ourselves a dictator. Or at least flyover Amerika did. Oh, he will start out pretty nice, maybe asking congress for an infrastructure bill. Like Hitler too, he likes building projects. He'd have to get his Republican congress to go along with deficit spending to get it. I'm not sure how many Republicans he can get for this, although many Democrats would go along. Maybe he can just order the treasury to print money for it, and just order it done. Republicans won't impeach him for that. But after the 2018 midterms he could have a filibuster-proof Senate. He could pass as much oppressive legislation as he wants. He may have enough Court appointments to make it legal. Voting rights suppression laws will be back in force in many states, keeping them red. He can't be impeached for any crimes, because the Republicans don't care about the law. He's a star too. He can get away with anything; they let him do it. Grab us all by the pussy.
It won't be funny either. Activists and protesters will offend him, and he will put them in jail, or shoot them. Police will shoot blacks with impunity, and so will any angry person with a gun be allowed to shoot anyone with impunity. Only friendly journalists will be able to cover him. He will dispense nothing but lies to the press, further propagated by his minions on facebook and twitter. Comparisons to Mussolini and Hitler are not hyperbole. People in the know about these things say he actually IS Mussolini reincarnate. And he could find another Hitler to ally with abroad. Putin is already a candidate. Maybe Kim Jung Un.
No, mine is not the only worldview exploding. Anyone with a brain will have their worldview, and their world, exploded. It will be harder and harder for any thinking person to translate his statements into the lies that they are. Many will just believe whatever he says. The results are a world imperiled in many, many ways, and there's nothing we can do about it.
