General Discussion

I do not think it will end soon nor well.

Trump is tearing apart the fabric of our nation by exploiting the schisms that exist among the citizens of the U.S. Unlike most past presidents, Trump is not trying to unite the American people, he seeks to divide us. So much for the "United" States.

You cannot complete with his insanity especially when nearly half of the country doesn't recognize that they are being led by a man with severe mental problems. For some reason that is beyond my understanding, these Americans are in thrall to a madman.

The end, if it comes, will be ugly. Consider some alternatives:

1. Trump dies in office and Vance ascends to the presidency. He is Peter Thiel's lapdog and he would continue the Project 2025 agenda. Not good.
2. Miraculously, Trump is impeached and convicted then removed from office and Vance ascends to the presidency. Then see part 2 of #1.
3. The military gets illegal orders from Trump and decides they've had enough resulting in a coup. Not good.
4. The country limps along under Trump. The economy crashes, international relations dissolve and the U.S. becomes as isolated as North Korea. Not good.
5. Trump realizes that he's losing his grip on power so he declares martial law and makes himself a dictator. Not good.

I am certain there are other scenarios but I'm equally certain that they don't end well, either.

Although I have always been an optimist, I really don't see how we get out of this terrible mess and rebuild our nation. Sadly, I really don't.

It's my opinion that we need to make plans for our own survival.
