This is an unprecedented situation. Nobody knows how it will pan out.

Sorta similar to how trump got elected.

I get the feeling he won't leave quietly, whether through impeachment or losing the election.

This will be something to see. I hope it finally puts our “democracy” to bed.

That's what I was hoping fot in the first place.. but now that I'm sober and the Democrats are trending towards a Sanders type platform, I don't feel that way.

A trump dictatorship scares the piss out of me. Especially given how incompetent he is at the basic job of leading.

If you’re happy with what America has to offer fine. I’m definitely not.

I mean I'm pretty sure everybody in the DOD ****ing hate him so if he tries something they'll probably hand Congress his head on a platter with garnish. Possibly literally.

Or they’ll continue to kiss his ass like the sorry ****ing cowards they’ve always been.

He hasn't really seized power on that kind of Hitlerian level for me to believe the military doesn't still have their own set of cojones they need to swing around to feel like big men.

It’s not the DOD but America’s legal system will arrest the people around him but not him for doing the same **** together. That same inability to reject the pecking order is also the only reason the military works. You have to be a coward to do the job.

Military's have historically been pro-asserting their own power though.
