I'm a massive cynic and I thought even though I don't see Trump leaving peacefully, the powers are in place that will get him out. It very much looks like those powers aren't there anymore.
In the last couple of days it has become absolutely clear that Trump is fully in charge of the justice department, and congress does not have the power to investigate anyone. America is now officially in the consolidation of power phase of authoritarianism. Dissidents are getting evicted from government positions, and all the highest courts are packed with sycophants.
On the other side: not only has the DNC and MSM not learned from their mistakes in 2016, they're doubling down on them.
It is looking increasingly grim. I think Bernie is starting to look like America's last hope for turning things around. Not sure enough of his supporters are violent enough to strap on their guns and march on Washington though to get the Orange menace evicted from the premises if Bernie wins.
