It is a blueprint for destroying the America that currently exists and replacing it with total power in the hands of a small group of people. And most of these people either worked for, or are politically tied to Trump.
Most of the pundits have told us that horrible things will happen at the border, that "holding camps" will be opened for immigrants waiting to be deported, that tens of thousands in the federal bureaucracy will be replaced by Trump loyalists, that the Dept of Education and the FBI will be done away with, and so, so much more.
Trump says he wants revenge. And given who and what he is, you don't need much imagination to foresee what form that revenge would take:
IMO, the pundits haven't gone far enough.
Trump wants to arrest his enemies. How long do you think it would take before they were executed?
He wants to get rid of the bureaucracy. How long would it take him to ignore, or even disband congress?
The SCOTUS has given the presidency unheard of powers. He'll probably ignore their existence after he rids the Court of the three liberals.
Any whim he wakes up with in the morning will be carried out before evening.
Donald Trump will be the first American Fuhrer. Many pundits know this, but they worn't say it out loud for fear that people will think they're nuts. The fact that I've said it here will probably result in many DUers thinking I'm nuts.
Nonetheless, as I've said before, keep your passport up to date.

This goes against everything Joe has ever believed in. Further, I think the majority of the American people would be outraged if Joe were to do any of the things that Trump would do in a heartbeat.
My guess is that Joe would conclude that, using those powers to save democracy would end up destroying democracy.

(14,660 posts)In which case what's to be done? Assuming Joe wins, all they will do is scratch out 2025 and pencil in 2029. QSame fascists, same money and Republican sheep behind them.

(15,218 posts)Not only will it destroy America, but it may well change all of civilization as we know it. Seems to me we could easily end up in an Orwellian "1984," or a "Mad Max," post apocalypse world. Too bad that the vast majority of people just don't pay attention to politics. After all, their lives depend on it.

Getting the mega-boner onto internet and into people's eyes is akin to political pornhub.
