Yes remind of trump tendency to overreact. Especially to young not born when Central Park 5, was the rape trump took out an entire news page condemning 5 young men. They were eventually freed and determined not guilty. Trump has always blamed without evidence.

I have to push back on your statement that " about half the voters chose this, and him, less than six months ago. " The truth is, more people voted for someone other than Trump—Harris or third party—than for Trump. But beyond that, close to 90 million of the ~245 million Americans who were eligible to vote in the election DID NOT VOTE. So about 2/3 of the country did not vote for Trump, his stated agenda, or his hidden agenda. And were the folks who voted for him consciously voting for "this"--an autocrat who would ignore the Constitution and dismantle democracy? I don't think so. Trump's so-called mandate is a myth.

I define "voters" as people who showed up to vote. 79 million voted for Trump, RFK, or that malevolent nitwit Stein. Trump made no secret of what he was going to try to do,

No backbone is about right. One is retiring.

If Eric Hoffer is right, and movements are what beget movements, the pendulum should switch to our direction soon, but it's gonna take a whole lot shaking and suffering.
