People should not feel too depressed that we let Trump happen. Back in 2018, I asked Prof Paxton, author of The Anatomy of Fascism, if Trump was a fascist. To my surprise, he said no. But I used his criteria! Then in early 2021, Paxton published an OpEd in Newsweek: Donald Trump is a Fascist. So if it took an expert several years to see the new Reich coming - that explains how fascism slowly snuck up on people. I wonder if we will have a fire on Capitol Hill to celebrate our new Fuhrer's reign.

Nothing this narcissistic man would do would ever surprise me! The very fact that that he’s all upset about the flag will be at half staff during his inauguration due to the death of President Carter speaks volumes about this man’s character! He has no shame he has no compassion, except for himself! He is an empty vessel with no humanity. He can’t even handle a tv network that criticizes him that all other Presidents have been able to tolerate! He wants to destroy MSNBC because they don’t praise him day and night! He’s not worthy of our highest office and never could be! He fooled millions of Americans but I don’t feel sorry for them they were too lazy to investigate him!

Just a false distraction my dear. I don’ think he is upset at all. He is fomenting hate.

In 2017 Trump started a quest to eliminate "quality" and "justice" within a government he deemed the deep state. At that time, he tried but was unable to completely eliminate civil service which has been in place since the administration of Rutherfraud B. Hayes, another ethically challenged president.

Come Jan 20, he says he has dozens of executive orders rarin' to go, to finish the job. Sonce 2018, SCOTUS has given him tools to do it. .So long Administrative Procedure Act. So long civil rights. So long mis amigos, Jesus and Maria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNmn7jdbQwA
