nairiporterIt's early to assume things at this point of course, but suppose Trump does go away.
My biggest concern is about all those people whom Trump has now convinced that the US democratic process is basically a sham - what are they going to do once he is gone, and there is no one to tell them via Twitter what to do? Start a revolution? Wait for him to come back in 4 years? Start a new movement? Stay quiet?
How do they vent out all that confusion and distrust and frustration that has been building up, and that their champion has helped foster? I don't want to sound crazy, but this all terribly seems like the perfect ground for breeding the next Hitlers and Mussolinis.
There is a lot of navel-gazing and wound-healing that has to be done over there in America. And I'm not seeing a lot of effort in that direction. Not yet, anyway.
