Reacting to Trump: Wait for it to Burn
By Joel Connelly
On the far right, one behavior is always predictable: They always overreach. Such excess generates reaction. Progressive forces in American society will get the opportunity to rebound from the terrible triumph of Trump.
With that said, we are in for a trashing of the planet and a reactionary regime at home. Trump fashions himself a Caudillo and will try to be boss/dictator. He is out for revenge and will be clumsy about it,
The supporting cast will be both laughable and fearsome. Oligarchs such as Elon Musk will soon learn frustrations of governing. Robert Kennedy Jr. is already boasting of his influence in the nations capital.
But there are limits to power. Oligarchs cannot dictate the size and strength of hurricanes. Nor can they turn back wildfire at the U.S.-Canadian border. They cannot stop heat waves or high tides flooding streets near the leaders Florida estate.
