Not in disagree with that statement to some degree. But going full authoritarian, and I mean full to the point if mythical scenarios that some people online are spouting. I just don't see that happening. Sure there's a shit load of injustice, imbalance of power, overreach, all sorts of adjectives, adverbs, etc. But I think some of these what ifs or scenarios are far fetched and the internet loves to reach.

There's been loads of cover ups, breaches of power, scandals, you name it. But printing infinite money because trump says so and crashing the global economy is not high up on the bingo card. Anything is possible. I'm just saying it seems highly unlikely is all.
