I'm not saying 'don't be worried', I'm saying 'have a little bit of faith in the system and see how far he gets'. I take it some of the stuff he yells at easily influenced voters will be unconstitutional and I hope your checks abs balances will be strong enough to withstand the fall of your democracy.

If it's not, well, I'll also be fucked. So whichever way you slice it, the only thing to do is to wait and see.

I mean technically you could storm the Capitol but I think we know that doesn't really do shit except make you a meme or a prisoner or both.

I agree with the wait-and-see approach, but I also know how much damage he did the first time around even without a lot of support. And the amazing thing is that people still think the economy was better under Trump (who barely managed to coast on Obama's success) than it has been under Biden (who managed to turn around a global economic disaster after COVID). This time it's all going to be on Trump, and we're all going to suffer from it.
