I’m surprised at how stupid the people who surround Chump are. The wanna-be oligarchs who are sure they should run things because they’re so smart and, hence, successful. They, like many of us, believe things will remain as they are, because this is all they’ve ever known. - ThreadSky

Specifically, I’m referring to America’s economic preeminence. They don’t realize that by sweeping aside the rule of law, tossing aside long-standing allies and trade alliances, they risk the very foundations our prosperity.

They’re not smart enough to look at Hungary & realize it is neither very powerful or rich. Only America’s Right Wing idiots envy it.

But if Chump & his Idiots remake America in an illiberal image, they risk everything. Will countries clamor to buy the debt of country that doesn’t keep its word?

More terrifying still, will the dollar remain the world’s reserve currency if the US is no longer unique in the world? No longer a place of laws? Separation of powers? A place where some El Jefe doesn’t tell businesses, the treasury and everyone else what to do?

Loose the advantages that come with being to print the money the whole world wants and this thing we call society goes to Lord of Flies very fast.

When you say “it can’t happen here”, that’s what Chump thinks you’re referring to. But it can.

I am scared.
