What kills me about Trump is that all of the shit he’s pulled since being elected should be disqualifying. The refusing to do press conferences, not getting in touch with key agencies, flirting with treason by supporting a foreign actor in a potential act of war against the U.S. instead of his own countries’ agencies, the completely insane Twitter usage, etc.  Like…all of these things taken together should essentially fire him. “Oops, turns out you’re a fucking nutjob and completely incompetent, you’re out.” 

But we are just so woefully underprepared for someone like this taking power, and we have basically no safety net to deal with a worst case scenario outside of the Electoral College – which, in our current political climate, is functionally useless, as it relies on people choosing their country over their party.

Frankly, if we survive him, we need to like…get some laws in place about codes of conduct and correct procedure, because it’s utterly obscene that we have to watch this man and his party laying the groundwork for completely destroying this country, even gloating about how they’re getting around longstanding traditions and procedures, and all the while knowing we have exactly zero way to do anything about it.

The whole hit job on federal employees that is coming should be enough to scare people, but unfortunately that tweet is right: There aren’t enough people alive in the US who remember what fascism looks like.
