When Trump is no longer a threat to the American concept?

Who is thinking this will end?

I, fortunately, don’t think it will! There has been no pushback by the GOBers in full force to stop the twittering twit!

The fact that he has embarrassed the entire country and severely damaged our economy, relations with our allies and China. This will take years into decades to fix. He knew that he would be a thuggish dictator and he doesn’t care how it will end.

We are desperately in a peril of this dictatorship and we need to fight until we are in control again.

Trump didn't generate his cult, they manifested him in my opinion. The same way Hitler didn't come to power because suddenly everyone in Germany became a nazi when they heard Hitler, but there were preexisting conditions for a Hitler like leader. We've seen the rise of right wing leaders in many countries so it's not just Trump. It's a backlash to economic change, to our bowling alone, women's rights, minority rights.

The next Trump might not be a blithering idiot who keeps stepping on a rake. So I worry about the dangers of unrestrained capitalism, loss of community, toxic masculinity, etc. Trump's got another 3.75 years in office. He's a lame duck and it's only going to get worse. And that's assuming his lifestyle doesn't catch up to him and he has a major heart attack or strokes out while posting on Truth Social.
