who reject their leadership are dangerously destructive and undeserving. Both already believe they're justified in oversetting the power of the majority. That's what we have to worry about now -- the anti-democratic zealots who look for ways to defeat the undeserving majorities who, if not derailed, will elect Democrats.
In just what ways the trumpist right, especially, would misuse great power if they got it,...? Aside, obviously, from starting out with filling giant camps in the desert full of brown-skinned people (mostly) without papers? Horrible even to wonder about.
We do now know, though, that they are exactly the same kind of people as those who chose (and created) Hitler to be their strongman leader and then obeyed fervently and unquestioningly.
Amazing to realize, these authoritarian types were drawn to and empowered Strongman tRump not just to smash all opposition and persecute those they hate, but, psychologists say, to be the decider of issues of conscience and morality.
tRump as keeper of the national soul (!), and no accident that the person these people chose is psychopathic and meaner than a snake.
But I think most people are still dangerously far from imagining anything like "it" could happen here. We had large wins in 2018, but we won by promising better healthcare -- a kitchen issue while the national house fire was spreading to the second story. And this month it's actually possible that California voters could elect their own tRump. 58% (only!) of CA voters say they'll vote against the recall, but CA-tRumpers have two weeks to eat into that. And times are so crazy that more dogwhistling about Nazis and final solutions to immigration might actually bring out more.
