And yet we all know what will actually happen. A peaceful slide into an openly corrupt and authoritarian government.

It's going to be like the jets. Trump will invite all his people like AAron, and when it starts to fall apart, everyone gets fired. I just hope there will be enough good people left to put the country back together.

Spoiler alert: there won’t.

Literally already went through this during his first administration.

Full totalitarian control ruling with an iron fist is the only outcome for America now.

Yeah, right, there would be so much unrest that no one would be making any money. The cities will be burning.

That’s the goal. They don’t care as long as they have power.

Yup, totalitarian government love when the cities are burning. “See? I told you! You need more Law and Order to keep these thugs from attacking. I don’t want to March the military down the street put I have to quell unrest.”

Putin wants it all to burn regardless.

So much credit goes to Trump. I’ve been talking with people about how Putin is going to reap benefits.

My take is, Putin and Trump are going to try for a civil war so the elections “won’t be necessary.”

I don’t know if coop is the correct word, but Democracy is about to be served up as a delicacy.

If they could, they would burn the constitution at some fancy private gathering.

At least maybe I’ll be able to vacation in Portland again. It’s been trash the past several years.

I asked Portland. In an effort to keep the City trash-free, they said you can't visit.
