EXCERPT… Trump’s second term was always whether he would bully the country into an effective monarchy, or fall prey to the laws of political gravity.
I’m taking a pundit risk by saying that we now have that answer, after one month in office: Trump’s cooked.
His failure has followed the usual direction of political overreach. Brave dissidents from the political opposition, corporate America, or his own coalition didn’t suddenly rise to the challenge. It started from the bottom up, as the governed gradually but definitively withdrew their consent, giving space for those we somehow call “leaders” to distance themselves.
No! It’s not a “plant post”! OMG! Look at the title I gave it… “Don’t Let Up!” JFC! People are so fvcking cynical and nasty! Try reading the article. I made it clear I only posted an EXCERPT!
David Dayen, the author, whom anyone who cares about saving this county should follow, he is PHENOMENAL and the editor of The American Prospect, makes clear that he’s not saying things are going to all be fine. But just that the country will likely survive, but not unscathed.
Please try reading before throwing out uninformed commentary and ascribing bad intentions to someone!
