If we still have an organized human civilization here in 50 years, people will still be scratching their heads, wondering how a man who attempted to overthrow the United States federal government a) escaped criminal prosecution and b) was subsequently re-elected to the U.S. presidency.

IMO, the founding fathers did everything they could have conceivably done to prevent the complete breakdown of the nation, but they never considered that the American people could be so stupid.

It wouldn’t surprise me if one of the framers of the Constitution said to another, “If this country falls apart because it elects a criminal lunatic, they will deserve exactly what they got.”

The Demise of the United States Is a Most Improbable Tale

When I read words like these, I still think there’s a chance our top military leaders will refuse to obey some outrageously illegal order from the president.  Perhaps something like this:

Trump: We’re annexing Canada as the 51st state, by military force if necessary.

Full General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: The f*** we are.

How Far Can Trump Push Our Highest-Ranking Military Brass?

As Bernie Sanders points out here, until Trump was re-elected in 2024, we all thought we had the guiderails in place to prevent grossly illegal military invasions, like the one we see in Iran.

This has put the entire world, and everyone living on it, in grave danger.

We’re All Unsafe
