11. It's challenging

Dec 2018

What is so challenging about this in my opinion is that Democrats are lagging at anticipating what Trump and the GOP will do next because Dems are still mired in the American Democracy paradigm.

Nothing is off the table for 2020 up to an including Trump having all Democratic candidates arrested. Trump suspending the elections. Trump instituting Marshall Law. He will do anything to hold onto power.
