He may be one of the most mentally damaged people ever to hold power. He is incredibly dangerous - and the cult he formed is also.

He merely took control of it. Once he's gone, others will try to do the same thing, and it may work. The cult won't go away, certainly not quietly.

up targets for their anger in the form of liberals, people of color, lgbtq, non-Christians, immigrants and independent women routinely for decades by wealthy white male would-be aristocrats in order to supplant democracy with their aristocracy. They are a cult of easily manipulated malcontents and deplorables. Trump was nothing more than a figure-head for those at the root of this — those like the Koch’s who go back to the John Birch Society and before. They won’t give up just because Trump has fallen, and they won’t give up their cult. Why would they? It has brought them almost to the pinnacle.

There needs to be an injunction against this rally requested on Monday. There’s sufficient evidence of a clear and present danger from tRump cultists. Although many are now in jail.

In NYC there were a couple dozen for the first indictment. Miami will be bigger, but less than 700 for sure.

I wouldn't even be shocked if it were fewer than NYC.

I hope we can count on people to love the things that come from an actually United States enough to avoid enough conflict to disrupt it.

I don’t imagine war per se but some nasty guerrilla treason and some very tough decisions to make between federal and state governments.

why anyone should be playing in to this delusional nonsense. Why offer any degree of validation?

There will be no riots. There will barely be any demonstrations. And - as with the last handful of (very sad) Trump rallies - the handful of overweight protesters that might actually show up - will be outnumbered 5 to 1 by TV cameras and thoroughly bored uniforms.
