I posted a thread on another board, asking board members if they were scared of Donald Trump and what is capable of doing with access to more than 3,700 nuclear warheads. Here is my favorite response to my question thus far:

"Trump himself scares me much less than watching half the country and "Republican" elites follow him off the democratic cliff. Masked, unmarked "law enforcement" throwing people in the back of unmarked vans? Totally fine. Putting Marines in the street to threaten non-violent protestors? Totally fine. Foreign countries and wealthy individuals buying US Support by giving Trump money via his personal coin? Totally fine. A president fundamentally not understanding the difference between unfair trade practices and mere imbalances leading him to put tariffs on islands full of penguins? Makes sense to me! Using government power to blackmail law firms and media to treat him nicely and do him personal favors? Of course! Deporting legal immigrants to 3rd countries where they may disappear from the system? Serves them right for living in our country, contributing to their communities, paying taxes, etc. That's what they get for being from somewhere else. Putting people with no real expertise in charge of our most powerful institutions because they're personally loyal to the president? How else could it work?

Yeah, he's an amoral, narcissistic, sadistic menace. But there's a huge swath of the country that isn't just OK with this form of dishonest, bullying, inhumane, governance, but is reveling in it. That scares me.  "





Surely, we agree, don't we?
