If this is true, then there is no avoiding it. What else would we be able to do? 60 million people voted for him. This is American in 2017. Hatred and bigotry were on display in this election and many of us simply did not want to believe our country was truly this sick. It is. Sure some of the people who voted for trump were naive. But a large number of them were what MKL referred to as "our sick white brothers." Trump is going to fail as president, and at best we're just going to see none of his most damaging policies and ideas come to pass. That alone might make whatever percentage of the country who is willing to die for Trump put that plan into action. It wouldn't surprise me in the least. And yes, that would mean we're in for serious tragedy. Civil war like tragedy. It's yet another reason our congress -- and by that I mean congressional republicans -- need to act quickly. They need to do something before the Trump supporters have years to build up to some sort of conflagration. This fire might be able to be extinguished now without a lot of negative consequences. In another 3 or 4 years? No way. The events that have begun to unfold in the last week or so are giving the republicans the out they need. God help us if they don't recognize it.
