12. People really have not come to grasps with where this country is

we are now a full on authoritarian, fascist state.

It isn't because of Trump - everything was in place on November 7th - Rs had control of congress, most governors and most state houses and senates.

Trump was just the authoritarian cherry on top, not only getting the POTUS, but getting a mean ass, out and out bully and prototype fascist national leader.

Its over, the whole democratic thing. The media is fully assimilated or beaten down and the public has rolled over like a dog showing its belly - we just had RUSSIA manipulate our elections and the people of this country seriously could give a fuck.

We are going to get completely rolled, and as Oswalt noted, whatever bad occurs will be blamed on the evil liberal boogyman.
