      Trump and Co. are gambling that they can achieve dictatorship before the violence and other shit starts.

      Putin smiles in Moscow. Chaos and violence in America is his win. It’s also his win if the US slides into dictatorship and the US population shrugs and goes along quietly.

        if he plays by putins book, he better eliminate his non-loyalist supporters quickly, either by jailing them or sending them to a foreign prison, or they will turn on him quick.
