Trump has done some strange and disturbing things to this country in two short (although they feel far longer) years
He has attacked our Judiciary
He has attacked our free press
He has attacked our intel agencies
He has attacked our military
He has used profanity to attack both foreign nations and the opposition political party
He has enabled and encouraged white nationalists and indeed bigots and racists
He has tried to use the Justice Department to go after "political enemies"
These things are well outside the norm...especially when taken in total.
I won't claim this as my own but it struck me when I heard it on Morning Joe today
What I Fear is that the next time someone with these kinds of autocratic tendencies gains the Oval Office...that it will be someone who can READ.
Currently the thing that saves us (hopefully) is Trump's incompetence.
What happens when the next wannabe dictator is NOT incompetent?
