The real danger is the infrastructure being constructed quietly behind the curtains by right-wing organizations like the Heritage Foundation. Trump, a non-reader, is unlikely to be wonky about fascist ideology or authoritarianism. But placed on the teleprompter by Steve Miller or Steve Bannon, he’ll read it in order to own the libs. Like the patriot act that was implemented after the 9/11 attacks, a monumental document lying around that had no chance of becoming law, the behind-the-scenes right wingers are prepping the grounds for a future fascist America. They are using Trump to test the waters and normalize the vile vocabulary now. When a more with-it GOP leader comes around, s/he would have ready a “document lying around” to use. And there in lies the danger.
It looks like the documents and, key factor, the pre-screened personnel are lined up for Trump II. I am not an optimist. Hamas has perfectly unleashed Pandora's Box to splinter the weak front hanging by a thread against fascism.
