I am far more worried about the response to Trump than the administration itself.

I find that a very healthy assessment, especially coming from someone saying they have left-leaning views. I don’t personally have nearly as much objection to any of the ideas, or ideals, behind some of the left’s ideology, as with the fact that it never seems to occur to them that somebody (else) has to pay for all their programs, usually those who stand to benefit the least from them. Calling out various demographics for their alleged “privilege” and trying to guilt-trip them into paying for a welfare state because slavery and Wounded Knee happened is not an adult set of persuasive tactics, and tends to be treated accordingly.

But what seems to be going on now, is like a toddler who finds that simply holding their breath doesn’t get the result demanded, so maybe burning down the house will. This foaming-at-the-mouth new fashion craze calling itself “resistance” seems hell-bent on self-fulfilling its own prophecies by any means necessary: if Trump doesn’t turn out to be Hitlerian enough to suit the narrative, then they’ll just go ahead and stage their own Kristallnachts and say he was to blame because of how his being elected made them feel.

We’ve had bad presidencies before, and will again, and I have no problem with the idea that this will probably be one of them. But to say that a poor administrator or foolish decision-maker or impulsive rhetorician is the same thing as some new Holocaust in the making, is just infantile, psychotic and misinformed. And as you point out, probably far more dangerous to this Republic, than the man himself is even capable of being.
