"It will take a collective sense of urgency to rid ourselves of the Trump threat. I’m not talking about voters. I’m referring to elites. Nearly a decade into it, the political, legal and business sectors are still slow-walking through the Trump era. It’s a collective failure. And Trump continues to exploit it."
Elites slow-walked Germany into the fascist nightmare of Hitler and Nazism. Hitler, who represented only a small minority of German voters initially, would never have come to power had the bankers, media moguls. business leaders, churchmen, professors, military leaders of Germany not enabled his rise, assuming they could control him if he attained power.
As an avid #Dystopian fiction reader (and writer), the scenarios closest to I thought what we might experience is (IMHO) the novel "Dies The Fire", as well as "The Hunger Games". "Dies The Fires" / #Emberverse has an interesting fictional scenario -- guns don't work, and nuclear radiation is lessened. But even that "ideal" scenario is wrought with death, disease, discord, dictators -- the usual stuff that happens when societies break down. DTF does offer a glimmer of hope, but with #ClimateChange, I think even that bit of hope has been dashed. So yeah. #HungerGames, #Elites pitting us against each other for entertainment. That seems way more likely.
