Heather Cox Richardson has written a must-read essay.
Here's a couple of paragraphs to give you an idea of what she's talking about:
Trump has made it clear that his goal for a second term is to toss overboard the rule of law and the international rules-based order, instead turning the U.S. government into a vehicle for his own revenge and forging individual alliances with autocratic rulers like Russian president Vladimir Putin.
He has begun moving to put into power individuals whose qualifications are their willingness to do as Trump demands, like New York representative Elise Stefanik, whom he has tapped to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, or Florida senator Marco Rubio, who Trump said today would be his nominee for secretary of state.

I subscribe to her, and she is always worth reading. This essay is probably one of her top ones. She is an historian and it shows.
I feel the same about the hopeful message. She doesn't sugar-coat anything; you can trust her judgment.
