I wonder if there are people who intend to vote for Trump who don't realize that if he gets elected the National Guard will be in so many major cities at once, until it is overtaxed and overwhelmed and the barricades all fall. Many of these cities will be shut down for long periods of time.
People who look at these Trump rallies and are not disturbed that it is only a sea of white faces (and mostly old white faces) and that so many of our neighbors and fellow Americans are not represented there at all, are sad cases. They are really not good countrymen, not good Americans. They don't believe in unification. These are the believers in an American caste system.
You don't have to worry about Trump's finger on The Button. You have to worry about Trump's ability to abuse power and the police state which he will attempt to institute. He will fail, but it will be after so much bloodshed. If you think life is difficult now, take 1968 and multiply it by a hundred.
I know we should be reassured that he's down in virtually all the polls. But I have this horrible, sinking feeling that his brand of demagoguery might work on the uneducated and those who will accept a Pyrrhic victory if it means their racism can be reflected down upon America from the White House.
It's just unfathomable that so many poor and middle class people are cutting their own economic throats by voting for a man who has made it abundantly clear he intends to defend the interests of the one percent and corporate America. He is repulsed by the people who adore him most.
