So only negative outcomes are conceivable? I thought I said, "This can be a benign force" so it is not fair of you to play games with words.

It is not what is "conceivable" but what is constitutional, conservative, prudent, likely. These people want and intend to wield power over us. We have a Constitution to protect us against exactly that, a federal government exercising powers beyond its mandate. We have history to tell us about entrenched bureaucracies. We have history to tell us about unaccountable arms of government.

We have a recent campaign in which everyone who was not Trump-correct was labeled a globalist and a slave of Goldman Sachs.

That was then, this is now.
