No question about it that the GOP and Trump administration is dominated by Christian radicals and white supremacists. And that means bad time in America. The ground work is being laid for war against an element of citizens who do not fit in neat GOP categories. As soon as the cabinet in place we will be in for some real surprises. And Democrats seem too weak to counter. It is alarming how many Democrats are voting FOR certain cabinet members.
If you look at the big picture and watch the different moves being made it is hard to deny that there are bigger things afoot. And I believe massive chaos will erupt as we move forward. And it is the calm before the storm. Targeting sanctuary cities, voter fraud rhetoric aimed at blue states. Egregious laws sponsored by Christian attacking ALL women's right supported by Trump. Anti Moslem, LGBT and civil rights appointees.
Trump will eventually erupt in a frenzy of revenge against non supporters. We know we are dealing with a paranoid sociopath. And we know the GOP is behind him for its own nefarious purposes.
Sure I am pessimistic and I have every reason to be. Recent polls on Maddow reveal only 50 support the marches, Trump supporters believe in an alternate reality and support Trump fully, Substantial numbers of Republicans believe the voter fraud lie. So it is hard to feel optimistic.

(10,602 posts)You have Breitbart in the core of the White House. You have extreme RW appointees all over the place with many of them essentially Dominionists. Every cabinet appointee is a millionaire or billionaire who is totally against the agency they will run. Yu have Sessions who is really a KKK sympathizer if he is not really IN the KKK. You have a din of RW hate radio blaring anti progressive propaganda 24/7. You have O'Reilly & Hannity push race hate agendas every night. The new immigration executive order. False voter fraud rhetoric plus calling for essentially investigations into the blue states, et al.
