"I didn't think [Grump] would do the unhinged things he said he's do. What the heck?"

 "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. President-elect [Grump] has started appointing screwballs for important government positions, making plans for immigrant detention camps and leaning, authoritarian-style, on Republicans in Congress to obliterate check and balances?

Are you telling me the man who said he was going to do all these crazy things is actually going to do all these crazy things? What the heck?

I was told by many [G]rump supporters that he’s a showman who talks tough, but when he gets into office again he’ll govern like a sensible conservative, just like he didn’t do the first time around."

Maybe even greater threat to democracy than Grump's threats is the fact that 77 million Americans, second highest vote total for POTUS ever, democratically voted for this sadistic shit show. Including much of my, thankfully, distant relatives. Already bragging about how Harris was too "stupid," by reports. Recalls that Nazi line from Goebbels, "It will always remain one of democracy's best jokes that it provided its deadly enemies with the means by which it was destroyed." And we're stuck here now it would appear until the billionaires and demagogued low-info bigots change their minds. An unforced error and hilarious if not for its staggering real world significance.
