James, I believe you are correct. POTUS is trying to launch fascism and is having some success but if the traction was better he would NOT have sent the National Guard back home. He was playing a game of "chicken" and lost because the popular sentiment was NO. Also remember bullies are easily intimidated if you get "in their face". At least he lost this round.

We are clearly still at risk but for now the firewall is holding ... but it only needs to hold until November.

It may get ugly after the election when 4-5 looses but again I believe he will leave office after some complaints about election fraud and more "whinny butt" Tweets.
