Gen. McCaffrey: "Believe your eyes"..."We are watching a slow moving Trump coup"

[Jakes Progress]

136. Ahhh. Blind optimism.

The oppressor's tool.

Hey. I'm old. I've been protesting and advocating for a very long time. My encounters and relationships with some of those agencies seems to be very different than yours. Maybe all the younger right wingers have grown halos. Cool.

But I'm also a student of history. I've watched a lot of autocracy take-overs. I'm happy that you have no worries. I'm happy that you are so confident. I hope you don't have to lose your optimism and full-glass good will. But I can't do it. I've seen stuff that kills that sunny-jim feeling. I'm sure that trump will leave the White House, but I'm not sure that it will be quick or smooth regardless of the "tools" that your friends in the Fed have. I know of several police departments that will not put down proud boy attacks. Hell, some of them are members. I watched it with the klan in the sixties.

Boy, do I hope that you get to keep feeling confident. I hope all the next generation can have no worries. That would mean the efforts I made that developed my pessimism were to a good end.
