I didn't think I'd ever leave the CIA. But because of Trump, I quit.

21. I'm beginning to get paranoid.

Now that Edward Price, ANOTHER competent, career CIA has resigned in disgust, we are one person closer to having the CIA staffed by nobody but a gang of arrogant, willfully ignorant toadies and yes men. It's a goddamn national security nightmare. I'm beginning to think that we're being set up for a major terrorist attack which will give the Republicans just the excuse they need to declare the Constitution null and void, just like Hitler did in Germany after the Reichstag fire in 1933. Dolt 45* isn't smart enough to pull this off, but Bannon sure is. And Pence would love nothing more than to establish a Christofascist Theocracy. I live in Michigan, close enough to Indiana to be very familiar with the shit he's pulled and what he has tried to pull there. He doesn't believe that the Constitution says that there must be a separation of Church and State. I have always tended to scoff at conspiracy theories, but this feels different. There is something dark and dangerous going on. This is beginning to feel like a coup that will end America. I'd really like to think that there are enough Republicans that would try to stop it, but I'm not seeing any serious attempts to buck the WH. Am I being silly? Can somebody talk me down?
