We are way way further down the path to totalitarianism than most see.

The GOP no longer cares about Democracy, if a free Democracy continues in America, the GOP would have no power.

Trump is their chosen dictator, from day 1 he has consolidated power. He's at war with the only 3 things that can stop him, law enforcement, the media, and the opposition party. He now has more control of law enforcement than any President in history and he's begun directing the FBI to start investigating his critics. He's making these bombings all about the media, he wants state controlled media.

The fact he told the FBI to investigate the mayor of San Juan and they complied is a turning point for our Democracy. Does anyone doubt that whoever runs against him in 2020 will have the FBI hounding them daily?
