In reply to the discussion: My prediction as to how this all ends. [View all]B.See
(4,334 posts)49. Some certainties...
one day Trump and Musk will be dead, as is true for everyone. The question being, by the time that happens will it make any difference.
Even now MAGAts are putting into place notions of a third term, are working to entrench a one party, far reich, fascist rule.
Working to invalidate the vote (as they are now doing in NC) and at establishing a government of loyalists further empowered by a corrupt judiciary.
So, all considering, there are FEW ways something like that could end. And none of them pretty.
Besides, America HAD chances to "end" it. In November of 2016, immediately after January 6, 2021, and on November 7th.
Our present day hellscape is the one most Americans CHOSE to happen, or worse still, chose to LET happen.

You make it sound so easy. I've been on a couple of million-people marches in my time...

I didn't leave because of fear. We left ten years ago because we have no kids and wanted an adventure.
