For the record, I don't think he'll go Full Hitler. But he doesn't need to go Full Hitler.

Trump going Mussolini or Yanukovych or Mubarak or whatever second-rate dictator will still cause plenty of pain for the country.

There will be a crackdown on dissent and protest and the media and people could die in the process. It doesn't have to be millions, it could be only a few hundred, or maybe even just a dozen or two, but even so it will be the worst reflection on the American presidency we will have ever seen in our nation's history.

1. They've paralyzed the Congress, the courts, and now the presidency.

Little stands in the way of corporate, neofeudal power.

2. What hopefully will save us is police power is largely a function of the individual state.

Take the LAPD. It's a minority- majority force. I understand blue is blue but they will not turn on their own people.

That doesn't mean I don't expect them to enforce the law. I do expect them not to be Trumpist Brown Shirts.

4. police will turn on 'their own' minority, they do it all the time over humanities entire history

general public stands around and watches, even participates, turn in their neighbors, loots stuff like a home empty because the occupant is gone. Others snap up the home when it forecloses because the mortgage won't be paid. The world has a grim history when locals authorities are unfettered.

5. The Feds can call up the National Guard......history says. n/t
