At least.

I quite sincerely believe that it's not even a question of if the US gets to the concentration camps and mass graves stage, but merely of when.

I wish I was exaggerating.

If a bull in a China shop breaks 99% of the China in an hour, then he can’t possibly break more than that during his second hour in the shop.

What can we learn from Trump's recent behavior?

Nothing that wasn't already well fucking known.

It feels like this is written for someone who hasn't actually lived through the last ten years and finds anything about this Trump administration to be surprising.

Trump is engaged in a political blitzkrieg and he is overwhelming all of the checks and balances. He is already taking control of the FEC so we can't be guaranteed fair elections, and the military. He has removed the people in the military whose job it is to determine whether an order is legal.

Anyone who can't read the writing on the wall is fucking willfully blind. His Presidency is poised to end our democracy. Full stop.

Even if Trump is defeated politically or in the courts or on the field of battle, even if he chokes on a hamburder tomorrow, this nation is crippled until we are able to rewrite the Constitution to prevent all of this—that being said, we voted for this. No constitution in the world can prevent an entire nation from shooting themselves in the foot.

So you can look at it one of two ways:

1. Yes, the rest of his Presidency will be even more damaging to this nation than the first month as the ability to resist him at all is eroded and undermined.
2. No, because he has already dealt a fatal blow to the republic. Everything after this is so much extra filling for the shit pie we have created.

Whichever way feels most correct to say, it doesn't really matter because the end result will be the same.

I find it embarrassing that Americans are so uninformed about their own history, that they don't understand what rich people think made America great in the past. They think it means their childhood, and not the so obviously named guilded age. Of course it's going to get worse, because they want to make this the same country that allowed robber Barrons to rise. We have a lot of regulations and agencies to dismantle before we get there.

It's like watching a little bratty rich kid set fire to the drapes inside the living room ... and then having a bunch of adults in the room defending the kid and stopping anyone from doing anything about the fire in the living room, even denying that there is a fire in the living room.

All the while arguing with everyone else in the house about the fire that is spreading around the living room and will soon take over the house. Everyone fighting and shouting as the fire slowly goes from the drapes, to the couch, the TV, the bookshelf and smoke is now starting to go into the hallway and flames are starting to make their way to the next room.

The neighbours are standing on the sidewalk pointing and shouting "Hey! ... there's a fire in your house!" .... and everyone inside the burning house shouting back "No there isn't! .... (cough, cough, cough) ... go away! leave us alone!"

Yes.

He will never acknowlege fault from his side so he'll need to find more and more enemies and institutions to attack and blame in an endless cycle...

Don't be surprised if at some point he'll demand previous presidents be arrested and interrogated for destroying the US economy and standing....

This is the prelude. He's seen he can get away with anything he wants. There's no stopping him now.

This is just the start. This is him just seeing what he can get away with

Of course not! It'll keep getting worse and worse each month, forever, because there won't have to be any more elections!
