I’ll give you all a preview of bad because it needs to be said:
He will start shooting at protestors as soon as he feels heated threats to his position.
The army will be called in against the insurrectionists (ironic, no?) because he’ll ignore any law against doing that.
He is already claiming total immunity to do and order as he pleases, it’s deeply woven in “his” current plan.
“Crack open the laws, we’ll fix what needs fixing when the dust of our enemies falls to the ground”.
He’ll implement a committee of oversight consisting of family members and trustees, they’ll be holding the strings of the various branches, military, security, intelligence etc. and only report back to Trump.
If the boss orders that it’s good: all the yes-men will do it, no one will even dare pull on an emergency brake…
Sueing the white house then for breaking the law, I don’t think any such a case will even be heard in 6 years or longer, by that time he (and his family/friends) will the supreme leader and far beyond any lawbook to grasp on.
And when it all happened one can lament in the streets “oh mah constitution, it’s all broken” but the newly installed government/overlords will laugh it off and wave with a “national security good for the country” blanket and be done with it.
People forgot the lesson of how Hitler actually came into power … Killing his political rivals (or having them killed by henchmen installed in the country) This did not take years, it was a done deal in mere months. After which no one dared to oppose him.
All laws broken were ignored or dismissed under either “none of us did this” or “this was a limitation to the country”
So, don’t laugh off his threat of “Day 1 dictator” … Take it very very serious …
He’s even vague enough with it to mean “ONLY 1 day” or “STARTING day 1”
One last thought, if you meet a crazed guy on the streets, and he tells you with a vicious smile “I am going to stab you, stab you so bad, and no one will blame me” how do you respond?
Why is the response to Trump’s threats any different?

I really wish more people understood this. It’s absolutely terrifying, and so many people just won’t vote because they don’t think it affects them.
