Now that Trump has proven to be a ruthless autocrat, too many have grown timid and silent.
That is simply not who I am. It is not what I believe, and it is not what I will do.
Instead, I will worry. I will hope. And I will fight.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

Trump wants protests, especially with violence, so he can unleash the military, crack down, declare martial law and cancel elections. He'll assume complete power. Republicans and Supreme Court will support him. I don't know why people think he's leaving peacefully. He's never leaving, folks.
