It's difficult for me to understand how any American can still look at this despicable person...

6. " Are we too far in to get out? "

The answer is "We are very, very far in. And the deeper we get, the lower the likelihood we will get out."

My concern is the 2026 and 2028 elections. If Trump succeeds in his scheme to steal the election by stealing the vote in critical Democratic strongholds, and if the courts do not slap him down, then:

-- in 2026, he will retain a Republican majority in Congress.
-- in 2028, we may not even have an election.

Another fear of mine is that things get so bad that we Democrats -- or some/most/many of us -- grow tired of peaceful protests and out come the guns -- what will the military do? How about ICE -- Trump clearly is organizing ICE as his personal palace guard? National Guard? Local police?

At age 81 -- 28 years a soldier, Vietnam vet -- this is no bullshit: I purchased an AR-15 last year, with accessories, adding it to my firearms (shotguns, pistols, hunting rifles) -- just in case. And at 81, WTF will they do to me? Hell, I may live another 15 minutes or another 15 years.
