People around the world must be looking at us and wondering, with a skeptical eye and mystified stare. But then it dawns on them. “Oh, right.” They put two and two together and come up with Donald Trump.
I’m not seeing any way that this ends well. Even if people demonstrate and rebel and get through to their Congresspeople, this administration, or regime, is not going to give up power now that they have it. I can’t be the only one thinking this.
The scapegoats are being named. ICE agents are already icing people. Institutions are being gutted, voices of reason and dissent declawed. It can’t be long before the demonstrations and public protests are viewed as something more than mere nuisance, and law enforcement and military personnel will have to make a choice: which side are they going to stand with?
Are they going to “follow orders” or break ranks?
