3. Right wing terrorism

I've never bought the bullshit about civil war. But terrorism? I not only think it's possible but likely at this point. One of these days, one of those freaks is going to kill hundreds if not thousands. And many others will try and be copycats.

Trump’s dark ‘civil war’ threats were pushed last year by Russian trolls charged in Mueller probe

by Travis Getty’s
Raw Story, Sept. 30, 2019

President Donald Trump amplified a “civil war” threat that was pushed by Russian trolls charged as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

The president quoted right-wing Pastor Robert Jeffress in a series of tweets Sunday night warning that civil war would break out if he was impeached.

Trump’s threats shocked and alarmed the public, but they sounded familiar to former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa — who pointed to similar language in a criminal complaint filed against the chief accountant of a Kremlin campaign to influence foreign elections.

Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova kept detailed payment records for the Internet Research Agency and other Russian “troll farms” which pushed divisive and inflammatory content on social media designed to influence U.S. politics.

A situation that makes him capable of doing anything irrational. The whole planet is at risk.

9. What sort of ratfucking he'll pull next November.

Will he say his loss is evidence of the coup? Demand his minions encircle the White House, armed to the teeth, to keep him from physically being removed? Or, will he just declare Marshall Law and postpose the election altogether due to
"new evidence" that Ukraine or China are going to throw the election to the Democratic nominee?

Jesus, who knows what he's capable of when he's finally cornered like a rat. And, obviously, my apologies to any real rats for the comparison.

I feel like American Democracy is over and we're going to continue to descend into authoritarian fascism with nobody able to stop it.

...who just might stab Trump in the back at the right strategic moment, smile at the American people, say: "well, folks, we did our duty. God bless America!"--and go right back to a stealth fascising of the country...
