Man. I want to believe that, I really do.

But the man literally led a coup attempt. A shitty, ineffective one, but he tried nonetheless.

Last time Trump was held back by guardrails, people in the administrative government and in his cabinet kept his worst behavior in check.

This time, we're already seeing plans to dismantle all that. Only install loyalists, remove anyone else. As in, literally demoting military higher ups who won't kiss the ring.

I just hope they're still too incompetent to do any irreversible damage. But fuck me, man. It's hard to be hopeful.
