There is no going back when it comes to Trump. Congress simply will not, can not do its job and so Trump as the Mad Emperor has free reign to reshape the world in its own image.
As such, we just have to accept that it’s possible that Trump will declare martial law, try to cancel elections and destroy NATO at some point. And, what’s more, he could very well run for an illegal third term just to finish off the old Constitutional order once and for all.
And there’s just nothing we can do about it, at least under the constraints of our existing political system. If I had any faith in the American people, I would believe it was at least possible that there might be a General Strike to bring down the Trump regime.
But, lulz, that’s just never going to happen.
Americans are simply too distracted and blasé about the world. The people who could do something about this particular issue — traditional conservatives — are now just “Good Germans” who are happy their taxes are lower and brown people are being locked up.
So, I don’t know what to tell you. This is it, guys. We’re finally living in Trumplandia.
