    I’ve watched documentaries and studied the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, I don’t think Trump will get that powerful. Germany was in bad shape post WW2, and Hitler was quite young, energetic and commanding with a clear vision for his future. Trump is old, tired, and has broken too many promises to his base.

    As long as the press mostly stays free, and journalists don’t face punitive measures for their reporting, Trump will come and go.

      The problem is that Trump is speed running the country into shithole status (economically, I know we were already there on the healthcare, housing and wealth inequality fronts).

      And the smart assholes with ambition are running the show, Miller, Vance and Johnson.
