Summary
Critics of Donald Trump, including Democratic lawmakers and former officials, are preparing for potential retribution if he returns to the White House.
Fears include arrests, weaponized investigations, and targeted violence, as Trump and allies have called for revenge against perceived enemies, such as lawmakers, intelligence officials, and journalists.
Preparations range from hiring security to planning for exile. Critics warn that Trump’s next administration could be more organized and aggressive in using legal and institutional tools for retaliation.
Concerns over rising political violence and weakened checks on presidential power underscore the risks.
As somebody who tends to be a ‘glass half full’ kind of guy, I really do hope that Trump goes too far and does something like the above causing people to snap out of whatever trance led them to follow him in the first place.
Like say… stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody.
Not even sure that would do it tbh.
That’s the thing. He could do literally anything and it wouldn’t be too far for these people. He could kill their kids and they’d praise him for it.
