The only explanation for the length of time it's taking Trump to become a full-blown goddamned communist is the "frog in boiling water" story. It turns out that the tale is horse crap; if you put a frog in warm water and slowly turn up the heat Kermit will jump out when it gets too warm in there for him. However, the underlying theme of the tale isn't about frogs' thermoregulatory systems, but in inertia: if Trump would have immediately started invading oil-rich nations with small armies and having women shot in the face after he got back into office not even the Trump sycophants in Congress could have protected him, but by waiting until December we've already become hardened to his fascist crap.
