It should be pretty obvious by today where Trumpenstein and cohort plan to take us and it's not going to be a pretty descent in Authoritarian darkness. Trumpf is already making it extremely clear that dissent against him and his gang will have severe consequences. His seemingly random twitter rants are anything but. They're meant to intimidate anyone who dares criticize him personally or soon his admin. Starting next month Jan. 20th Republican Amerikkka will begin and this time they intend to make sure they get it right far right. They now have the STRONGMAN they've wanted since Reagan's era. The BV$H clan lacked a certain killer instinct at a personal level that TRUMPENSTEIN has in excess. The beatings will commence on Jan. 20th and they will not stop. Nov. 8th was probably our last semi-free election. The looting from the WH has already started he can't wait because under the Ferengi "Laws of Acquisition" ( now replacing the Constitution) every min. the Leader is not involved in making profits is considered a criminal act. ( I'm a Trekkie at heart :)

Sounds about right Star Trek or not. Trump wants to impose Trumpworld commercialism on us vis a vis the White House. Trump is a salesman. He wants brand name domination. He's getting it too. I think we should get 3 levels of voting depending on what you can afford - good, alt-right, and Trump class. At Trump class you get to vote in a 4 star restaurant and make an ambassador pick. Alt-right level you get to choose the white nationalist of your liking. And at good you get to throw your vote into the toilet.

I like three levels of voting sounds about right ( far right in fact.) Not really. What they think is, why should average people get the same vote as the wealthy right? I live in a resort town where many of the property owners own second homes in town but can't vote. I hear the argument all the time from them that just owning property should "entitle" them to another vote. By their logic, if they own property anywhere they should then have a vote there because they pay taxes there. This is the Corp. view of democracy that prevailed at the founding of the country. Only white males with property were given the vote till Andrew Jackson's time when all white males older then 21 got to vote. The right wants to return to the founder's plan.
