      Wonder how long it’ll take before we get to step forward again. As far as I’m seeing, we’re in for a long ride back. Not just for 4 years.

        This has happened before. Even after Abu Ghraib Bush Jr won re-election. Even after Iran-Contra the Republicans won re-election.

        But the fact is that they do not have the answers. They can only take things for themselves, and hope that people give up.

        The American people are pretty fickle. It won’t take long for them to become unhappy with the Republican party. Of course once that happens and you and I are celebrating “Yay! We got rid of the fascists!” they’ll be going “Hmm… These other guys are pretty uninspiring. Maybe we should try fascism again.”

        * There’s a big asterisk here that this is all predicted on elections continuing unabated. Which is not a given.

        It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump made it President for life.

          No way that would last long, it’s just not how Americans tick
