A fast descent

You can see how 100 days is all you need to begin to slip into authoritarianism. First your political detractors are cowed, the intellectuals are silenced and the courts are ignored. The Germans know all too well how quickly one goes from Weimar Republic to Third Reich. 

The key ingredient here is fear of speaking out and being targeted which is why mass coordination of the population becomes pivotal. If this fails we then end up with brown shirts taking people away from their homes in the night never to be seen again. 

The Supreme Court which leans predominantly right finally found some resolve and voted 7 to 2 against the Trump regime's attempts at denying due process. Whether this is respected or not remains to be seen but at least it's a step towards acknowledging what the American constitution very clearly says. The hold outs being Thomas and Alito will surprise no one as their personal corruption is beyond question. 

Beelzebub disciple Stephen Miller must be grinding his teeth here and he would have undoubtedly been a collaborator in the Nazi camps; so twisted is his psychology. 

Whether the US survives Trumpism remains to be seen but clearly it is mass resistance which will determine it. A toothless Senate and congress cannot do much even if signs of voting against the regime are beginning to surface. 

Americans aren't used to turmoil of this magnitude on their own soil at least not since the war of independence. But with the public increasingly being made aware of decisions which adversely impact their day to day lives, it is a matter of time before revolt expands well beyond partisan lines.
