Until the midterm votes are actually cast and counted the criminality of the Trump gang will be on full display.

There is Violence baked into this.

It's becoming more Inevitable by the Day.

Rule of Law, Democratic Norms and Traditions, the Proper role of The Executive, all of these things have become Optional.

America is being Tested.

The Outcome of this is Unclear.

MAGA is the Nazism of our Time.

MAGA is on a Collision Course with the US Constitution and Basic Human Decency.

At some Point in the Near Future the Internal Tensions are going to cause real Social Unrest at Levels possibly never seen before in the US.

Trump Knows this. His Enablers know this.

He's Preparing his Reichstag Moment.

Interesting Times.
