I've lost faith in a lot of people who I thought would stop something like the Trump administration. I hope they're keeping an eye on him and are ready to stop him if he does something too awful. He's probably going to have to be removed by the military if he wins the next election. I just wonder if we'll be in a civil war after that happens.
