But then I have to pull myself out since we really don't know what's going to happen.
Then I come back to: All the intelligence and experience with democracy in this country can't be for nothing. The oligarchs and the MAGATs are idiots. Dictators do fall. Trump has dementia and we don't know if the cult transfers. If he implements a fraction of what he says he wants to do even his supporters will be up in arms.

If it has to get this bad for the pendulum to swing back, maybe this is the price we must pay for getting out of the recent logjam.
I'm not underestimating the price we must pay--pretty worried about that. But I have to hope there's an end to it.
