Trumpism, after their defeat in November.
We cannot allow ourselves to think of the alternative. That is simply not an option for a majority of Americans. That does not mean it cannot happen. But, just as in 2016, it would not be something the majority of voters would agree upon. Trumpism must be defeated.
What happens when the numbers come in and Trump and his supporters are confronting a new reality?
There will be charges of cheating and massive fraud. They will find one example and let FOX News build it up as if it was overwhelmingly across the nation. That is the way they operate.
Trump will not retire to a life of an elder statesman. He will linger in the shadows, stirring up division and hate, just as he has done for the last 4 years. He will lead his minions in their revolution to "take back America".
As more and more facts are revealed about Trump's financial dealings, he will continue to play the victim to "fake news" and the "Democrat Party". His supporters will show up at events, with their guns and 2nd Amendment garb, to show their support for their defeated Leader.
No one expects them to go silently into the night. They will continue to flaunt the laws and pretend to be persecuted. Trump will cheer them on as they sow division and hatred within our country.
It is very likely that there will be violence and that people will be killed. Donald Trump will need to be held accountable. All investigations and charges against him will need to be pursued aggressively. He needs to understand that there is no Republican Party to save him. It is possible that they will be so divided that they can think of nothing but survival?

Chump needs to be banned and dumped from all social media. Once Chump has lost the election - or resigned if you believe James Carville - he needs to disappear completely. He needs to become a ghost and lock himself in his tower on 5th Avenue. Or better yet, stay at Mar a Lago and watch the place go bankrupt. Currently his "followers" are mostly bots and those need to be exposed for what they are ... Russians agents and trolls.
nightly rallies, while investigations and litigation proceed. That doesn't mean his depowered minority would prevail against the sizable majority who voted him out of office. He'd also lose enormous power to influence current followers who now saw their strongman as a loser, and their numbers would shrink dramatically to his hard core alone.
But there will always be other RW leaders. It really all depends on how many majorities the Republican Party loses. If they were to hold congress, for instance, their corruption and national destruction, would continue, just at a slower rate again. And if they kept control of the senate, our ability to repair our nation and clean out their corruption would be enormously handicapped.
Then there are the states they managed to keep conservative control of -- or to lose!. Most of the corruption of government, usurpation of power and destruction of American values have been taking place there.
This is this month's cover, but I'm not reading the lead article, too distressing to contemplate. Note the prominent Bible, though. Religious extremists have become infiltrated all through government since they helped elect him, he's trotting on their leash, and if he's reelected he'll owe it above all to them and Russia.
