Bingo. What started as a positive anti-establishment movement has turned into a full-bore desire for dictatorship. It was previously impossible to understand how some leaders came to power in history. The advent of a population that allowed Obama to go full dictatorship is now being countered by a movement to double down in the name of repairing it. The result will be no better if this continues.
The question is, will trump more or less play around with what Obama has wrought, or will he expand and consolidate power, much as Caesar Augustus consolidated power and more or less castrated the Roman Senate, becoming the first Roman emporer. My son thinks eventually we’ll call our emporer The Donald.
