I will quote from Rolling Stone's Trump's Presidency Is Shaping Up to Be an American Tragedy—
Add it all up, and what do you see? A child who reacts to the slightest perceived attack with vicious vitriol. A vengeful president who is willing to violate basic rights. A government run by incompetents, racists, bullies and conspiracy-mongers.
It's a formula for tragedy.
No one can predict the future – we learned that lesson the hard way a month ago. But if you were to imagine what impending American fascism would look like, you couldn't place the pieces on the board any more neatly than they've been placed in the last year.
There is no reason to believe Donald Trump understands or will accept the checks on an American president's power. There is no reason to believe he won't trample over the Constitution when it suits him. How far will he go? Is it impossible to imagine that the man who talked about "opening up" libel laws could start tossing journalists in jail? How about the guy who makes fun of him on SNL? Or anyone who criticizes him?
How confident can we be that a man who spreads lies about illegal voters giving his opponent the popular-vote win and talks endlessly about rigged elections will give up power in four years if he loses? Or in eight years, just because some amendment says he's supposed to?
Who will stop him from grabbing power he's not entitled to? The madmen he's surrounded himself with? The weak-willed leaders of the Republican majority in Congress who have yet to provide hardly any resistance to the things he's said and done, no matter how outrageous or un-American?
OK, that's enough. This language expresses cowering fear. Yes, I know things look very, very bad.
But c'mon, are you going to just stand by and watch Donald Trump grab power he's not entitled to? And then complain about it?
I have some advice for you liberals out there, you Hillary voters, you Democrats. You fucked up and you had better fucking acknowledge it. Do you remember Hillary telling Goldman bankers that the financial industry should regulate itself, and telling those same bankers that Dodd-Frank was enacted only because, politically, it was necessary to appease the American people?
What do such contemptible views mean to the people of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio?
Nothing. You had nothing to say to them. And now you've got Donald Trump to deal with.
Here's a message for you. Life goes on. Maybe. Are you going to just stand by and watch Trump trample over the Constitution when it suits him?
In short, are you going to fuck up again? There's every indication that you're going to.
Hence this post.
I have called the people who will be running the country reptiles, and what do you do in a fight with reptiles?
You liberals think of yourselves as the "reasonable" ones but there was nothing reasonable about the economic policies you pushed, the very same policies that screwed the people of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio. So get over it! You're not "reasonable" at all. You're better than reptiles, but that's setting the bar pretty damn low.
Let me tell you about your reptile problem. That will take all of 21 seconds.
You liberals keep blaming Russia for your own fuck-ups. You keep complaining about the California popular vote.
STOP IT.
If you want to survive, GROW A PAIR.
For evil lizards bent on pillaging the people and the planet, I've always been partial to the original "V" miniseries from 1984:

Gasp, but what if the lizards are actually us?
