I agree, Ernie. Trump is a horrible human being, but what really bothers me is that half of the voting American population support his presidency. What that says about the average U.S. citizen is really distressing.

I think that ‘Project 2025’ is a real plan: Trump may not fully understand it as reading isn’t really his thing, but he will support it. If Trump wins, there will be ‘immigrant collection camps’: millions will be collected and deported with minimal consideration for human rights or basic standards of care. And it is a surprisingly small step to something more ‘permanent’ if deportation becomes challenging.

I would like to think that the American ‘dictatorship immune system’ would protect them against such atrocities, but lately I’m not so sure. The same folks who want to elect Trump seem to like the idea of absolute presidential authority.

And there will be many forms of Trump’s personal, petty forms of vengeance. Whether the more horrifying aspects of Project 2025 come to be, Trump’s natural predilection towards being a bully will be unleashed.
