      I don’t think they will, I have also written many posts that reflect that, I use the same numbers to say two thirds either voted for Trump, or were OK with him winning.
      If they weren’t OK with it they would have voted.
      So I think a very large portion of the population is actually OK with all the shit that is going on, or they don’t care.
      I also think the risk of American democracy ending with Trump is very high.
      How high IDK, maybe 20-30% or maybe higher. Certainly not below 20% And that’s an insanely high number for a country that has had democracy since 1789, although it was a very limited democracy, and it is still a deeply flawed democracy.
      But still many Americans have trusted the checks and balances, but Trump has shown several times that they don’t work.
      And the American population hasn’t shown nearly enough will to do anything to prevent it. And now we are at a point that even if they do, they may be playing directly into Trumps hands.
