This is not the stand of all of the US. He is taking office by a slim majority and I'm sure once his supporters realize how they have lost his ear, they will turn on him. I can only pray this is the case but in the meantime we will continue to fight, to resist. Apologies to our neighbors to the north (and Mexico as well) for any pain & struggle this will impose on your citizens.

I join the apology to our neighbors; I'm so very embarrassed that DJT was elected-again! That said, I don't believe many of the MAGA people will turn. It's a cult, they cannot see him and his billionaire friends for what they truly are.
MAGAts won't change but mainstream Republicans might. Hard to believe the entire right wing is fascist... When the stock market crashes they will object. If Trump manages even a tiny part of his plan, the economy will tank really quickly. With tariffs and deportations lots of his voters won't be happy. If the country can hold together until the mid-terms things could change really fast.
Many thanks for your very well thought out comment. My fear is that even if these things come to pass, Trump's supporters will spin it into the Dems did it. After all, most MAGAts are past master at conspiracy theories, both in concocting them and believing them. And while I get that some MAGAts might be unhappy about the effect of tariffs -- if they can understand by then how they actually work -- why would they care about deportations?
In any event, I very much hope that you are correct about the mid-terms.
From Aus my hope is that not all Trump voters are actually MAGA morons. MAGAts won't change (and of course they will blame Biden). The non-fascists may. We have an election later this year and I've seen our elections bought by Murdoch in the past. The subsequent damage is mind-blowing. It's happening again in Aus MSM. The tRump example should be enough to horrify voters here so I'm noisier than usual. Happily there are lots of facts available. But the world really is full of idiots and hate is contagious.

I'm sure you are right about that. Judging from some comments I see time to time on posts elsewhere, I feel they think he's the bomb!
I also join the apology.
Thanks!
Trump's supporters will not turn on him. It isn't about "having his ear," it's about hating other people.

All I have is hope.
