It was the same when Bush was on the brink of starting the Iraq war. That's an admirable feat. The whole world showed solidarity with the USA after 9/11 and Bush managed to turn that into the opposite with millions protesting.
Would you believe that I actually feel nostalgic over Shrub right now? He wasn't a wild card and you knew what his cronies were after.
Bush Jr was one inept dumbass, but I never feared him starting a rise to fascism nor ever feared him starting a nuclear war. Yea, I'd give Jr a third term before I'll sit here and take 4 years of Celebrity Despot.

This is necessary. We cannot let him normalize his ideas or behaviors. Every time he, or one of his surrogets, steps onthe people, we need to peacefully take to the streets.
Also, did you know thousands of colleges and high schools nationwide allowed walk-outs without consequences yesterday? His choice of DeVos is really frightening those who work in public education. As usual, big news hardly said a word about it, though it was thousands of kids and teachers involved all across the country.
No shit, and and far too many in America don't see the lessons of history and stupidly think that politics is an episode of WWE or Jerry Springer. Well it is not, and if you don't stand up to political demagoguery, it will lead to very dark places.
