They are determined to establish a authoritarian presidency with no congressional oversight. Their goal is the complete destruction of the checks and balances established by the founders of our nation and the formation of a government no different than those of Russia and China. Trump has followed the blue print of fascism, discredit the free press and challenge the authority of every government agency making them subservient to the presidency. Their goal is within sight. Can they be stopped? That remains to be seen. If they succeed the eventual result, if it follows past history, is revolt.
