I'm worried that in contrast to the UK and France in the 30s we don't have anywhere near the power to stop them even if we tried to.

All it takes is double nuke. Look at Japan

Mutually Assured Destruction doesn't really help ...

Just keep stalling, until the rotors off their carriers fall off.

Fascism is auto-cannibalistic.

How exactly are you going to stall them once they're in full conquest mode? Both Germany and Japan conquered areas multiple times as large as their own country, they were suicidally determined about it and they completely brutalized many of the areas they conquered. I don't see that suicidal determination in the US right now, but the US military can conquer a lot of countries before the US population even notices a difference.

Don't worry, Trump will help us with that.

I think we’d see a legitimate secession / civil war moment if Trump started invading countries for real without authorization from congress. The fear of that might also help a midterm move … I’m more and more afraid he’ll find a way to cancel / stop / postpone the elections

It's much easier to just manipulate the election, even Putin does it like that. He already bragged that his people literally did that during the last presidential election - now that he's president, who is going to stop him?
