For many Americans, we already live in police state. Do we make it official on November 8?
Yesterday I posted a short story I wrote about life in these United States for a reasonably successful white couple under a Trump presidency. If you missed it, check it out here, and share, share, share: www.dailykos.com/…
This post is a timeline of possible events in a future Trump presidency. It's a pretty pessimistic view, starting with what actually leads to his election. I've tried to inject a tiny bit of humor in it, but you'll need to be pretty observant to detect it. It's extremely unlikely that things could fall apart this quickly but I find it frustrating that so many Americans are unaware of the many ways things can get bad. The world, as all Daily Kos readers are aware, is a very complex place. Let’s take a look at just how easy it might be for things to go awry.
Note: If you’d like to contribute your own timeline of events, go to trumptimelines.com. Please share this as far and wide as possible if you, like me, are not yet convinced Trump can’t pull off the unthinkable.
