What really keeps me up at night is wondering what's next? What comes after tRump? Is there an end in sight? Will these Maga morons keep getting dumber/more extreme? I think so.

The real problem is when these MAGA morons get smarter and more extreme.

No. They won't. The United States has always had a taste for authoritarianism. There's a burning desire for people that serve in these not so United States, and everyone thinks that they deserve to be served and don't give two shits about their fellow Americans. It isn't stupidity that guides these people. It's assholery, and the desire to lord it over other people. Don't ascribe to incompetence what should be ascribed properly to malice where MAGA is concerned.
