You knew they were going to try to make Trump dictator forever — and yep, here it comes:

@randahl

This time, they had it all planned out.

And it's not as if they were trying to hide it before the election ...

The stupidity of voting for a wannabe dictator anyway is just off the scale, it's not something I can comprehend.

@quincy
That's where the biggest problem lies. You cannot fix something you don't understand. For my part I don't understand it either and that's what really frightens me

@jaj @randahl

It's happening here too and it's true, I have no idea how to fix it either :-(

@quincy
There are not many places where it is not happening. We need to understand what it means
@randahl

To me, the answer is clear. The solution is the individual. Someone willing to pay what it costs to make meaningful change in the halls of power. Where is our Gavrilo Princip? Where is the man or woman who will make themselves the means to our ends?

I told myself I wouldn't engage with politics this cycle, but man, is it already getting ridiculous.

As a side note, I did brush up on the nuance of the Franz Ferdinand Gavrilo Princip situation and I stand by it. The dude was a bad guy, but at least he was principled.
