    in the middle of an debt crisis that the state has failed to respond to, Trump will be responsible for annihilating the republic. yes, he would be removed from power eventually. but the schism in the ruling class while the lower classes are burning down cities would be a death-knell. in truth, the schism is already there but to paint it in such clear relief... we'd immediately have a civil war on our hands as numerous states backed the president, the military moved to remove him, and the other states backed the elected president.

    liberals, stupid as they are, desperate to preserve the government might actually just concede to Trump in order to prevent this. it's an utterly galaxy-brained move but I'm not putting it past this democratic party.
