We're on 2 parallel paths to disaster...Scut Farkas & Scrooge unite for America's worst Christmas ever.
1). Trump will do the schoolyard bully thing daily, poke poke poke "Hey, here's another picture of me with six pack abs and rock hard pecs, I think I'll use it as my official portrait in my 3rd term. No dolls and pencils for you!" Poke poke poke. Poke poke poke.
2). Empty store shelves and higher prices will culminate in the worst Christmas for America in a generation. America can handle a lot of rotten things. My guess is that a shit Christmas will test America's resolve much worse than toilet paper shortages. Parents are gonna have to explain to their kids why Santa no longer loves them.
Anger will rise in the general populace. The angrier America gets, the more Trump will troll America. It's what rapists do. Rape isn't a crime of passion and it's not sex. It's a single-minded determination to dominate and humiliate a victim, and in 2025, Trump's victim is America. Make no mistake, Rapist Trump is loving every minute of this.
He'll deport some protesters and just have the Military gun down the rest in cold blood on the streets. That fantasy exists in his head right now. We'll see how close he brings it to reality.
