Thanks Jeff, and I agree. If Mr. Trump remains above the law and is not prosecuted for anything (I think this will be the outcome), it will be another indicator that my pessimism is an accurate intuition.
Even if he were prosecuted, I am not so sure that makes me feel much better. The fire has already been lit and the weeds are afire. We will need major air drops to have any hope of surviving as a democratic nation.
A "conservative" judge gave a raving looney despot seven years in prison for a coup attempt and he got out in what...three?
Wrote a manifesto and reemerged even more charismatic than before, and a generation of our daddies and granddaddies (mine included) paid in blood to stop him.
I'm going to say the thing that most dare not say, because every generation or so evil takes human form in a manner so unimaginable that a nation is forced to do drastic and unthinkable things to stop it.
Ceausescu comes to mind.
I don't endorse it, I don't promote it and I don't suggest it but I suggest that we stop pretending that it won't come up as an option because it just might.
