I fear that should Trump get a second term that, in the end, the entire fate of the United States will hinge on the principled nature of Traditionalists. All Traditionalists want is to separate brown families at the border, make undocumented people enteral second class citizens and to return shame to person decisions like abortion or being gay.
So should Trump, in a very ham-handed way, start to do shit that is even more tyrannical than THAT, like, say snatch someone like me off the street for calling Trump a cocksucker, well, I dunno. Things MIGHT get interesting. If Trump’s weaponized ICE — or whatever agency is weaponized — starts to act really tyrannical in such a manner, there is a chance that Traditionalists might radicalize — turn into Radical Moderates — JUST LONG ENOUGH to depose Trump in some sort of Blue “Glorious Revolution.”
In other words, 2025 could see the greatest political upheaval in the United States since the Civil War if Trump in a very ham-handed way goes full tyrant in a way that Traditional conservatives just can’t condone.
I fear I’m being delusional. We’re fucked.
