6. I don't share your optimism - wish I could.

What do you think will cause this storm to dissipate? This disaster to return to normality.

I feel the rot that has been installed in our various systems is far-reaching.

The major corporations have generally bowed their knees in fealty.
The congress has been rendered impotent.
The legal system is either in his camp (the majority of the SCOTUS) or ignored. And he'll ignore SCOTUS also.
The US military has had its leadership lopped and various toadies installed as commissars (political watch-DOGS)
Major US "news" outlets have been threatened and many have made multi-million $ payments (going where?)
Eventually most "news" will be dictated from a central bureau of truthiness - and most Americans will keep their heads down and nod when prompted.
