Remember the part in “Alien” where the robot Ash says, “You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.”
That’s the way I feel about Trump. People keep writing on message boards and newspaper threads that Congress can keep him in check, especially if Democrats win the Senate. Or that we’ll still have due process of law.
Do you think a man like Trump cares about due process of law, or that he’ll let Congress thwart his ambitions? This is a man who has the heart of a fascist, who lies and cheats with abandon, and who is used to getting his way. I don’t know if he’s actually a sociopath – I’m not a psychiatrist. But he certainly exhibits many of the core traits.
Anyway, what difference does it make, whatever psychological label we slap on him? The man is clearly deranged, and many of our fellow citizens apparently lack the functioning bullshit detector needed to see it. And I could easily see him ginning up a national emergency, declaring martial law and naming himself as our new leader. And what’s to stop him? Certainly not the spineless Republican politicians, who are his enablers. The military? Most of the top ranks are probably sympathizers. When he says Hillary belongs in jail, what’s to stop him from putting her there? Do you think he would let the Supreme Court stop him? Lincoln suspended habeas corpus, and so could Trump
I think all this is quite possible. “You still don't realize what you're dealing with.”
Do everything between now and Election Day to stop this very dangerous man from becoming president. Work like your lives depend on it – because they just might.
