We are in unknown territory and I do not know how this story will end.

We have been in a cold civil war since the Reagan era.
A war waged against Americans and Democrats by the PutinGOP.

Yes at some point, it may become a bloody hot civil war.

The GOP will not stop until someone stops them.

Yes I too have been wondering if the billionaire minders and bribers will reach their limit.
They wanted the Trump Crime Syndicate to ensure they pay zero taxes, have no regulation,
get lucrative govt contracts. And stop any programs that help Americans because the billionaires
think all the money in the world belongs to them.

Instead they get a mentally ill, cognitively impaired POTUS who is taking a wrecking ball to the US
economy and US business model, and destroying the successful American brand. US businesses
cannot plan anything, business is going away and they are dead in the water.

How long with the rich and business interests put up with the orange F wad?

I would say reality has hit them and hit them hard.

How will they stop Trump?

Or will they let the monster they created devour them?

Yes Putin and his oligarchs may also grow weary of Trump.

I would think the US and Russian oligarchs would unite.
Power is no longer confined to national borders but reflect the monied global interests.

I wonder how long the Russian money class will put up with Putin.
He is destroying Russia and its economy.

I try to be realistic. I have no data right now to support optimism.
But there is always room for a wild card to show up and move us in a better direction.
