(69,304 posts)late 19th and early 20th Centuries, grew up in an atmosphere of strict discipline and unquestioning obedience to civic authority.
The American people, OTOH, don't like being told what to do, and never have. Sure, there are going to be pathetic parades of waddling, 300lbs, gun-toting right-wing fuckweasels; but those odious losers do not a national movement make. And yes, they made a shambles of our capital city and Capitol Building on January 6th, 2021, but the arrests and the manhunts didn't wait until Joe Biden was sworn in two weeks later; they started while Trump was still President. Yes, it takes a lot to rouse the racist law enforcement establishment to do their sworn duty, but they did bring in thousands of the traitors, and got most of them sentenced to at least a little prison time.
I have some confidence that people who are repelled by Trump, but couldn't bring themselves to vote for Kamala Harris, might just hoist themselves off their couches and help us out this time.
