people are not prepared for what trump will do with the next election (if there even IS a next election!). He has been screaming things he'll do for months... years... and we just let him spew without shutting him down constitutionally. If he and his repug friends cheat one another election, I think this country will erupt. At that point, I can't even say we'll have civil war because I think a lot of the MAGA are going to be yelling the same things WE are. I can see all these 2nd amendment remedy believers going to DC, and not to kill just democrats this time around.

If the law and congress won't rid us of these fascists, I fear people will take it into their own hands. A blatantly corrupt election will be just the reason to bring strange bedfellows together, IMO.
