I think that the next few days or at most weeks,

will tell us whether our Republic will survive or whether we are going the oligarchic/fascist route where the only people who count are the uber rich and we sink quickly into 3rd world status.

If this doesn't rattle the GOP, then they are shouting to the rooftops that they will stand close to Trump so that they can hang onto the reins of power and get richer and don't give a damn about anyone else.

This will be one of the defining moments in history no matter how it goes.

I fear for my country.
