my bet is he approves, and only wishes he could do the same to anyone who protests against him. to not even comment publicly on the matter says he doesn't care if it looks that way. could he be deluded enough to think he's going to prevail in this project to jettison democracy in the USA?

could he do it, and could it be that i am deluded to believe it can't happen here?

anyhow. i've already decided they'll have to take my first amendment rights out of my cold, dead hands, so fretting about it can only be a waste of energy.
