(10,558 posts)Perhaps history lends credence to what you say. After we left Viet Nam, the new government forced many tens of thousands of 'South Vietnamese' into re-education camps.
In my heart I hope for the peaceful transition but......
Considering the likelihood of misguided 'patriotism', considering the fear consumed from the propagandists and considering how well armed many within our electorate are, the transition could indeed get nightmarish.
Otoh I just can't see American citizens, even the wingnut, strapping on vests of dynamite and heading off to our churches and malls in order to take back their country.
......so I just don't know how our future will play out. That notion-that fantasy if you will, the one where Republicans had very little to say in American affairs, that put a smile on my face and made me feel all warm and fuzzy. WE KNOW the difference between right and wrong, THAT vision is the right one.
