They don't think he's racist. Gallup poll came out today.  48% of those polled think his comments about those countries were racist.  10% of Republicans.  95% of Democrats.  We don't have two sets of opinions and proposals in this country.  We have two sets of facts. 

November 6th, 2018 will come soon. 

That will be a major weapon in seriously reducing the craziness.

VOTE!

Time to bring out my theory:

He's discredited the news

He's discredited the security services

He's discredited the intelligence services

If he loses power in November, and especially if he loses the 2020 election, he's going to say the results are fake. He's going to say the news is fake, the intelligence services have done a number on him and the security services have been issuing fake ballots.

It's a classic fascist playbook, and Fart has been playing it since the Primaries. He's increased it during his time in power. No way is he giving power up without a fight, and if he loses, I expect him to start a civil war to try to keep it

But I have faith in the average American; I have faith in GOOD Americans; and I have faith in the majority of US law enforcement (city, county, state, federal). I admire Americans and I've had good relations with Americans online (I have sadly never met one in real life).

So I have faith in the American people. I have faith that despite your scenario, and I understand it's a valid concern, the American people will not let a jumped-up, two-bit, ignorant, divisive, immoral 'person' like him do what you describe. There could be minor riots and the like under what you describe, but a civil war? I doubt it. America - its PEOPLE - are better than that, whatever bullshit comes out of his mouth.

The average American did not vote for 45.

The average GULLIBLE American that was of VOTING age are the ones that put him in office.

And if those folks did not learn their lesson, we're in for at least another 3 years of this crap.

Pissy little assholes throwing a temper tantrum about 'no Bernie'  'voted' with their lack of votes for the only other candidate who could win.

Time to bring out my theory:

I'm tired of this civil war scenario.

First of all, if he loses, he can whine and deny it all he wants. Because the day the new President is inaugurated, the Secret Service will physically remove him from the White House if he refuses to leave.

And if a civil war did trigger over this, there's absolutely no way his side would win, and he and anyone supporting him would be guilty of sedition and treason.

Also, McConnell voted no... HOW can he complain and blame Dems for the Government shutdown (especially with GOP controlling every branch)??? McConnell couldn’t even get 50 Republicans to vote for it!!! What a F'N JOKE this Congress is!!!

I say people named Brian declare civil war on people not named Brian!

(It's as likely to happen as Trump starting a civil war).

Please..hallucinogen-free discussion encouraged....

Long game.  I think the shithole comments will have a lasting effect far beyond a "news cycle".  I get the idea that you watch one hand while the other does the dirty work, but in this case I think the other hand has been exposed and that's pretty much all we're looking at kinda like the guy on the pier who thought he had a good gig but then a few too many people saw the shell game for what it is.  His "shithole" comments weren't a sideshow after all, but endemic of this president as a whole.
