See you on the 9th green at 9
I have no desire to get into too much of a back and forth on this as rarely do people change someone else's mind on strongly held views.. but in saying that here is my no doubt unpopular 2 bobs worth.
Sorry I just don't see Trump as the next Hitler/Genghis Khan/Mao ready to drone strike domestic political opponents and turn the USA into a dictatorship.
He has already had 4 years as President and the wheels of government seemed to turn as per usual, gee we have a vegetable as the POTUS now and everything still rolls along. The embedded bureaucracy(think Yes Minister) and the lettered agencies eg. DOD, CIA, NSA, DHS etc really run the show anyway.
The best indicator of future behaviour is previous behaviour, Trump no doubt is a bombastic buffoon and a raging narcissist but a mass murdering genocidal dictator ready to rip up the constitution in the making? I don't see it, Armageddon is not incoming if he wins the election.
IMO.
I don't think the primary risk with Trump is him progressing these big ticket overt acts like turning the USA into a dictatorship or drone striking opponents. The risk is a lot of smaller decisions which begin, quicken or open the door to erosion of fundamental principles around basic rights, laws, democracy, equality etc...that when looked at individually the decisions don't appear to mean much but when considered cumulatively and projected over the long-term will have serious impacts on the fabric of the US.
