Can I just say that Trump scares me to death. I am a conservative. I disagree with a lot of the liberal agenda, but Trump as a person scares me to death. Unfortunately he reminds me a lot of other authoritarian leaders in history. The state department has been decimated. All who disagree at all are gone. Trump has a skewed sense of reality. I do not think he knows he is lying. He sees everything through his distorted reality. He is attempting to gaslight the American people. There are so many things going on and making news, and I fear that the real machinations behind the scenes are going unnoticed. It will be interesting when I restudy the rise of Hitler and/or Stalin how the techniques will be similar. I already see a lot of similarities to Animal Farm.
Now is the true test of our American democracy. Will our checks and balances work? Or will they fail like they did under Andrew Jackson's administration? ( I think Trump is A LOT like Andrew Jackson.) He ordered the Trail of Tears. When the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokees, he told John Marshall to let him enforce his decision and completely ignored him. I can so see Trump doing something similar. I don't know. I hope that today with technology, it might help to make him more accountable and not make it worse. But I am not sure.
Still praying that he is gone before the year is over.
