My reaction: this is weak and scared. Fortune favors the bold; I'm not letting a guy who shits his pants intimidate me out of my home. My wife was tortured under the first Trump administration, trans in the military shit, and she got paid out winning that fight. Right now she's in the federal government and they can't fire her. My brother is too, they said him and his cohort would be fired in less than one day and it's been months and they are all still there waiting.
Sometimes you have to get rocked in the face really hard a few times in order to position yourself to make a winning move in a fight. America is the blue print for Nazism, we were born out of chattel slavery and genocide, all these systems being destroyed were basically irredeemable to begin with. We're not descending into fascism, we're waking up to the reality that we've already been fascist for a long time.
Trump bankrupts casinos and always screws over everyone he works with. Is he a fascist who scares me? No, it's a hilarious godsend my idealogical enemies made him their standard bearer. W Bush, that's a fascist that scares me. He set the stage for a real dictatorial takeover of our county and then Leeroy Jenkins Trump drives straight into a wall and wrecks their shit. He backs up and now he's ramming into the wall again
Trump has to put on a show of force quickly at the start of his term because in another six or nine months it's going to be incredibly obvious he is an impotent lame duck
It's not Trump who scares me, it's who comes after. They may not have the sway over the base that he does, but at that point they won't have to.
