Of course it can happen here, by which I mean a right-wing political movement that can ascend to power in the USA. This is nothing new and nothing to be sanguine about.

Trump may not be "brilliant" like Hitler was but these are different times.

Like we saw with those asshole ranchers and the "patriots" who liberated a Federal complex, there are plenty of guns in this country, and plenty of assholes ready to use them.

Take this seriously, because it as serious as it gets, at least up to this point.

Tomorrow can bring other horrors.
