No one can repeat, follow the footsteps of a freakishly immoral, freakishly mentally warped Trump.

9. It could be FAR worse than Trump

You are correct Trump is uniquely sociopathic and narcissistic and it's unlikely we will ever see anyone exactly like him.

But it could be far worse than Trump. At least with Trump we know exactly what he is going to do and exactly what he is going to say, after 4 years he is totally predictable.

We could have elected a rightwing sociopath with the shrewdness to hide his true agenda and continue to tear down our democracy from the inside. Someone who is smart enough to softpedal his way into the Presidency and then install himself as dictator.

I disagree that the movement that coalesced around Trump will simply "fade away". The neo-Fascists have been working for decades to reach this point and they are not folding their tent any time soon. And it's not just in the USA - ultranationalism and the trend toward autocracy is everywhere, Europe, Canada and elsewhere.
