23. No. I certainly hope not

I hope that by recognizing it folks, in a place with more power & authority than I, can figure out a way to avoid that outcome.
But I do not feel my concerns are unjustified.
We're in a precarious or dangerous place.
I do not think it is accidental. A bunch of this seems to have Republican planning behind it.
I wonder how much planning the Democrats could do for it because Trump et al are calling the shots.

Longer term, I do not think Americans will put up with it.
You can't take freedom away from people long term. after they have tested it.
But it could get violent or ugly before it gets better.
So I'm worried.
