I cannot pretend to see the future, but considering what we've already seen, including his dismissal of fact and embracing of conspiracy, and how he's appearing to appoint people that are against the departments they are heading, I don't think it's an overreaction to at least assume the worst is a possibility.
To act like he's just another president like any other is crazy. He's not. You can't normalize it just by saying it.
I'm not trying to normalize it. I don't disagree that he's probably the worst person we've had lined up for president at least for some time.
But what I meant by my comment was that he will not have 100% control over our country and he will not be in office until he dies. I doubt he'll make it past 4 years. Bottom line is, the amount of damage that can potentially be done is very limited and not enough to ruin this country. We have reason to be more optimistic that things will turn out ok, and the amount of chronic anxiety and worry over this isn't healthy or necessary imho.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
