I know, right? Not literally. Goebbels never publicly claimed his political opponents were demons who smelled like sulfur.

Heh, check out this lunacy:

I really, really want to see ALL the conspiracy theorists and paranoid 'militias' turn against Trump the Betrayer when he fails to do any of the things they expect him to do. With any luck at all, it'll be his own deplorable "Second amendment people" who rid us of him.

There'll always be a scapegoat for why Trump doesn't get things done - they simply don't have a large enough majority of seats in the house and senate, and there's not enough conservative justices on the Supreme Court, and there's too many Republicans who aren't 'really republicans' (re: aren't alt-right.) Given the nature of our democracy, I think there's *always* an excuse for why a president can't accomplish things...but I also think Obama has really set the tone with regards to executive orders and policy...and if Trump continues that way of working, he might do a lot more than people *think* he's going to do. That could be a really bad thing.

The only talk I've heard of good coming about from Trump has to deal with some sort of infrastructure bank. But I'm not even sure that's 'good'. It's also contrasted with the new CEO of the Nasdaq stock exchange figuring Trump is going to axe the Dodd-Frank act (and let me tell you, she seemed very pleased about this fact.)
