The beginning of the end?

70. painful

When I became a naturalized citizen it was the best feeling. I've had the best time of my life under Obama.

This is the reason why these developements hit me so hard. When we experience tradegy we try to analyze searching for answers. To dig out of the abyss, I found those answers and they are frightening.

Of course, the only thing that's stronger than fear is hope - we are humans. I do beleive in humanity but we don't learn! We can not transfer feelings from one generation to another, only emotionless facts. We go up and down. Germany was progressive liberal democracy prior to Nazi.

Bad scenario (which I beleive is most likely): Trump will succeed in moving to oligarchy and we will have this 'regime' for a long time. Ivanka may become a president after him, already preparing. Constitutional rights will be opressed, no major marches - Putin's playbook. The choice who to vote for on state and federal levels will be limited. I am not even gonna mention a war with Islam abroad and possible draft in the US. 'Liberalism' will be severly supressed. Every regime falls apart and I do beleive one day even Russia will become democracy again. But this will require a true revolution and a Civil War.

Good scenario: Trump gets assasinated. But there is a caveat - it may lead to unintended consequences.

It is now us against federal government. Prepare for the battle of your lifetime.
