8. Great list, but it ignores somethings less tangible

Trump's rollback on clean water, clean air and work to push back climate change impact everyone. Although the gated communities will not be on the toxic sites not cleaned up, they are stuck with the same air we all have.

Speaking of "gated communities", his policies will force MORE of them because his policies rather than trying to lessen the gap between the top 1% and the bottom 99% make it worse. It pushes us towards the patterns of a third world community. Where does this leave the current middle class, including the professional class?

Consider that third world nations are, by and large, governed by strongmen. There can be no democracy that would give equal weight to all people - they might just decide to vote their own interest!

I contend that many people, who might be able to survive the terrible list printed would be horified at our country, with a not perfect representative democracy becoming a Trump led dictatorship. Sadly, the easist way to stop this is for whichever Republicans who would be appalled by this to say "No!".
