a “new phase” of militarization against Americans

It's not even a matter of saying the quiet part out loud any more. There is no quiet part — Trump and the Republicans (and most of the Democrats even, judging from their complete failure, even now, to do anything at all to even slow Trump down) are overtly and systematically implementing a violent and oppressive plutocratic autocracy and they aren't even bothering to pretend otherwise.

I wish I could pop into the future and read what history is going to have to say about all of this, because it's going to be spectacularly horrific.

Gonna be a whole conspiracy theory around the assassination attempts. Alternate timelines. More than a few people willing to time travel to kill him before his first term.

Basically, similar to Hitler but hopefully not THAT bad. The fortunate part is Trump is already old as shit and not in great health.
