DEMOCRACY - GOING, GOING, .........

     I am frightened. Perhaps someone else, older, remembers a worse time than this, but I do not. Even under Nixon or the days of violent protest, democracy and its rules were maintained for the most part, due process was an immoveable principle, and we were not being rushed into a terrible dangerous situation.
     To put it bluntly, if we do not remove this man, this Donald Trump, from office, we are in trouble. The man loves chaos, thinks it works, but it does not. He has caused upheaval in the world of international trade and has now dealt a blow unto death to our farmers who export food, to manufacturers who export and to companies that make things here but use imported items. In other words, he has screwed us and majorly screwed his base. Farmers for Trump? I do not think so after this latest move.
     There is a dangerous level of turnover in his administration and new and old aides should not even bother to unpack their personal items. They could be turfed out on a moment's notice and even as he praises one , he stabs the knife in the back as Trump has no loyalty to his underlings at all. Even as he states he backs his family members, i.e. Jared and Ivanka, he is trying to get them gone. They should go, but it is only being done because they are making things difficult for Trump. They never should have been there in the first place. In fact, this whole administration should never have been here as they won the electoral vote with evil machinations of our enemy in chief, Russia, even though Trump states that he "believes" Putin and his denial for he is a good guy, even as he now threatens us with ICBMs that supposedly can avoid any of our defenses. So comforting to hear this from a "good" guy!
     Horrific raids to arrest and deport people, though not his wife or his next paramour for it seems he has a penchant for foreigners. Deport the Dreamers. No due process - just seize guns and then have due process. Now I hate those assault weapons, but there must be due process or else we no longer have a democracy. And that is the point here. 
     We are steadily heading toward the point where democracy in America will be a sham. The rules will change on a dime, there will be family dynasties that rule the country, money and riches for one will be the guiding principle if it can be called a principle and here is the most frightening one of all.
    This ass, this Trump, this dangerous man, this demented man, loves the military though he never was a part of it at all. And now he is the commander in chief of our armed forces. I believe he is fully capable of ordering his troops to take over the country, in cities, in villages, at farms, wherever, and they are bound by law to obey. Think not? How many other traditions, laws and rules, never mind the principles has he violated? I have lost count. And I believe not one word which he utters for he has now tweeted that he had a wonderful talk with the NRA so what now, there go his statements re gun control right down the toilet. Typical. Bigly typical.
     Think this is a never happen scenario. Many people in other countries thought the same and were so surprised! This man is a danger and needs to go, be impeached, removed for the danger he poses to the country, for his demented delusions and for his hatred that he spreads and encourages. Think enough Americans will not follow his rule. Think again. Think of the hate rallies. Think of the dregs. Think of the selfish Fat Cats. Think of the stupid young and the clueless. 
     Civil War. Bloodshed beyond all imagining. A dark and dangerous and bloody world. A world where the air is dirty, the water filthy, the homes decrepit and no medical care to speak of. Human and civil rights. Bah! Humbug! Think not? Then tell me how we ever got in this situation in the first place. Never say never. Never with this man, this dangerous man.
