Trump will be removed before he can finish his term

He'd have a point if not for the fact 81% of white evangelicals voted for Trump.

Yup. My in-laws have voted for McCain (see his ex-wife stuff), Romney (a Morman and the in-laws do not believe that is truly Christian), and Trump (a guy that has almost certainly paid for an abortion).

The rural churches have convinced people that the GOP = Christian and more than that, Dems hate god and America.
 
You can't blame them. Obama likes Beyoncé. That's not moral.
 
this post is not a defense of my prediction or a rebuttal towards anyone as much as it's a dire warning based on my own opinion about trump and then the potential ultimate consequences of not just his, but our behavior if we don't immediately act together for our country.

Every region, religion, ethnicity, or nation (and all combos of the aforementioned) have had an empire at one time or another and all experienced an ultimate final decline. the difference with our country is the variables/uncertainties/threats are more abundant, more rapidly changing, and with much more magnitude for harm. if our country can't at least hold the line, the fallout will be global.

The future United States may not look a whole lot like it does today...for the foreseeable future the country is still going to trend downwards among other nations, which means serious, systemic negative feedback loops for us in nearly every way. It'll become increasingly hard to govern even for those with exceptional ability, much less an empty suit.

Hope and change didn't work and obama was in no way an actual progressive. now trump campaigned on fear, uncertainty, divisiveness, lies of omission, and unrealistic promises of a different sort of change. All of the above have proven time and time and time again to be effective ways to manipulate masses, but also directly undermine everything we as a country have worked towards. Moreover, he has skipped the more tactful neo-fascism and is going full on 30's style with the travel ban and his other rhetoric.

if in office, trump's base will be substantially less motivated to turn out in four years when their unemployment levels are much higher than today. The love affair will have turned to hatred for those who realize they were conned and one man cannot bring back jobs which were deliberately outsourced and wont even exist ten years from now due to automation. many more will be indifferent towards him. very few will actually have faith in him and nobody will be as eager to head to the booth for his sake although the thirst for change will have increased exponentially.

all this will likely come to pass regardless of who is president, but we'll have a better chance of weathering the weather without trump at the helm.

if he does make it four years he'll have long lost the real power behind the presidency if he hasn't already to bannon

His rise was without precedent, and i'm guessing whatever way he may be removed will also be without precedent. No matter what, many more political precedents will be set and other traditions broken so long as trump is in office; the cumulative effect of which will become increasingly unpredictable for our government. considering the number of new precedents that have been set over the past eight years, there is good reason to be incredibly worried. history is predictive, but there is nothing anywhere at any time or place to compare so many destabilizing factors happening so quickly on so many fronts and the sorts of negative synergies that could result, especially when coupled with the threat multiplier of climate change.

This is not intended to be an alarmist post, but it is intended to try to underscore the seriousness of the issues at hand. The industrial revolution ushered in this epoch of rapid change, and we're only now beginning to understand the most threatening consequences. prior to the industrial revolution there have only been a handful of other epoch changes since humans evolved, three to five of which happened in prehistory. the start of agriculture and animal husbandry, began as much as 12,000 years ago independently invented in several places all of which coincide with the end of the last ice age, but most notably for western civilization in modern day iraq. civilization proper was enabled by continual advances in writing, b/c to have a bureaucracy you must have a means to record data (the following flurry of fundamental inventions follow fairly logically each requisite on the preceding one(s)). you could date the start of this to around 3500 BC during the bronze or iron age depending on location. There has only been one other epoch change since the industrial revolution; the one we are living in now. The electronic or digital revolution which goes back several decades but really began to get out of hand in terms of impact on and pace of change of life by the end of the 20th century. the world now changes at a rate faster than social scientists can evaluate, much less for civilizations to compensate and adapt. Individuals can't even keep up. this is a very bad time for the globe's most stabilizing entity, which is our country, to be rudderless. i don't have the answer but we're fucked with a capital F if trump (and pence frankly) can't be removed.

One thing to keep in mind about Trump's approval is that it may remain high among Republicans because Republicans who disapprove of Trump may stop identifying as Republican.

"Republicans who disapprove of Trump"? That phrase makes no sense.

Ah I get it. You're thinking about Republicans like Cleatus who wants the see the libtards suck it. I'm thinking about Republicans who are contenders to replace Flynn as National Security Advisor.
 
There are plenty of Republicans who disaprove of Trump.
 
I think lots of Republicans disapprove, but they won't say or admit it. They also won't vote it, because the alternative is Democrats.

Best bet is they stay home.
 
Y'all really didn't learn much from this election. Republicans will fall in line every single time. Good tin soldiers.
 
doesn't look like trump is gonna escape blame...

This isn't fun for him anymore. He's going to develop a "medical illness" and turn the keys to castle over to Pence. Who becomes VP then?
