people have been saying "just wait and see" every time donald Annoying Orange does these increasingly worse things, essentially numbing us to how abnormal they really are. at some point we need to draw a line, and if we're too late it wont matter. direct confrontation as soon as he does this stupid garbage is the least we can do, and passively allowing whatever it is that he desires is, historically, an incredibly bad idea.
all fascists, and yes especially Riddler, have come to power because the public was passive enough to allow it, and decided to reserve judgement in case of some beneficial final outcome. however, egotistical and power-hungry leaders have a tendency to abuse this by taking baby steps into essentially inescapable fascism.
Nonnel:
It's just that as far as I can tell, he hasn't done anything out of his power yet. I agree, we should absolutely watch and evaluate everything he does, but I haven't seen it yet.

if nothing else he'll almost certainly get backlash at his midterm slump. could even be that dems take both houses back depending on how unfavorable it is, but they'll almost certainly take the senate then since it's so close now (not because of any particular Annoying Orange-related reason, midterm slumps just always happen)
if he has to fight against a democrat majority congress at that point, he's probably not going to have a fun time. that being said, i don't expect much getting done after his honeymoon period either

Honestly what's the worst that could happen if Annoying Orange had unchallenged power? A strong economy? A fearsome military? Killing all muslims?
I don't really see a problem even though this is blatant fear mongering.
