From the beginning, the danger hasn't been Trump. He is constitutionally lazy, ignorant, unambitious and just generally not good at things. The danger is from people supposedly in opposition doing fuck all to stop the rest of his coterie, categorically more evil, ambitious and skilled than him.

I have an entire rant with several key points, but the gist is: Send Donald Trump to jail nothing bad will happen. There will be no riots, no demonstrations, nothing that can be done by the system or police or FBI or anyone to stop it. And once it happens, we’ll realize it was never scary.

Thank you for all the music and your unflinching integrity
There's light too.

I think that also means “nothing will happen” is naive. Being able to manipulate a few thousand rubes into trying to overthrow democratic order and the peaceful transfer of power suggests otherwise.
They were understaffed on purpose.
How did it all fall apart? Why?
