    As I indicated in the prior post, it doesn't look like the Demodopes are sufficiently organized enough to put up much of a fight.  Even if they were better organized, the fact the Republicunts have majorities in both houses of CONgress means Trump's own party has to rebel, and generally they don't have the backbone to do that.

    On the positive side, this at least makes clear the lie that Amerika is in any way exceptional or less corrupt than the Chinese or Ruskies or that our form of goobermint was too well designed by the Founding Fathers to be flipped into a Dictatorship.  In fact, so far it has proved so weak that His Trumpness has been able to accomplish it without the help of the military and without any violence so far.  Opponents and Journalists have been reduced to pathetic sputtering "He can't do that", while he obviously can and does.  Right down the line also, people in the bureaucracy simply follow orders, a phone call from somebody at  the White House and 1000 workers pack up their desks and walk out of the building and onto the unemployment line.

    I do wonder a bit if those now UE FBI Agents will simply roll over next month when the mortgage and car payment and med bills come rolling in?  They are not gonna all instantly find jobs with local police forces that pay an FBI Agent's salary, particularly one with years of experience who has moved up the salary tree of federal employment.  You're talking well into the 6 figures.  Those guys have guns and training.  They also have contacts in organized crime.  Use your imagination.
