(5,470 posts)distributed system of government makes it much harder to turn us into Nazi Germany. There are things that the Constitution cedes to the states that not even the current Volksgerichtshof of a SCOTUS can change/take away. The governors of blue states, as well as countless organizations, have spent the past 2 months preparing for the worst that they can imagine (my guess is a LOT of stuff has gone on behind the scenes because why reveal your hand until you have to). While it is disturbing how many people in this country ideologically support fascism, I think there is already a LOT of BREXIT-like "I didn't think he'd actually win" regret and there are LOTS and LOTS of people who oppose and always have opposed him. There are a lot of us who remember history and are committed to preventing it from being repeated.
