    I hate this, but yeah, possible. Hopefully we have enough sanity at the top, and enough checks and balances in place, that he will not achieve his goals.

    At least he isn’t subtle.

      Hope is an unattainable luxury in this situation. Eight years ago, I still didn’t understand much of what would have clearly determined Trump as a personality prone to dictatorial-fascist tendencies until after 2016. If I had had the time and attention back then to understand where it would lead, it could have been prevented very easily by raising a huge fuss and scandal around political advertising on Facebook. This would have significantly disrupted the plans of hostile states for interfering in elections and ultimately led to different results in the 2016 elections. Unfortunately, at that time, I was a completely different person, focused on other things. That’s why I did nothing. I simply hoped that everything would be fine.
