3. Be very concerned...

I don't know if scared helps.

I would say, what were the odds that Trump was going to be removed from office by way of impeachment?

This is a topic that most people would rather avoid or merely react to. It seems that the concerns are justified about what would happen when an obvious authoritarian who does not respect the rule of law and his sycophants are able to utilize any special powers in an emergency, martial law being one of them.

I'm curious what other's think and maybe they will chime in here. I think we have a better chance if more of us are aware of this kind of threat and giving it due consideration. Leaving it in the background makes it seem even more ominous and foreboding.

Thanks for bringing that up, though.
