So, this is what it looks like before the war.

This. What the naysayers miss is that DT is not “just another right-wing President” like Nixon or Reagan or Dubya - all of them were at least moderately experienced politicians, with largely political views, aims and goals.

DT is a total wild card with no political experience and increasing evidence that he understands next to nothing about how government works, from the Constitution on down to what a Cabinet and major appointees are supposed to do.

This is not “Aw, shit, the left lost this round.” This is “Holy shit, we’ve handed administration of the country to someone who is proudly ignorant of what his very job represents and means.” If not “Holy Motherfuckin’ Shitballs, we’ve just cheerfully elected the next name in the list of destructive tyrants that includes Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot and others.”

Our choice at this moment is to let this orange bag of exploding shit continue, or have the EC revolt and possibly start something very much like a second Civil War.
