Thank you for the details relating Trump's rambling fantasies and promises which should be taken as threats. It's difficult but necessary, I think, to hold two possibilities in our minds at the same time:
1) These are just grandiose fantasies based on his need to make HIMSELF feel powerful and look powerful in front of his adoring followers, and, 2) He'll carry out these malevolent plans the minute he has the license to do so and the manpower to implement them, just as he did with J6.
Holding both these ideas as EQUALLY POSSIBLE may be tricky but we have to be completely prepared, yet not living in a paranoid, delusional state of paralyzing or aggressive fear. Psychological and emotional equanimity comes with the ongoing ability to balance these two beliefs, like a see-saw, in our minds at once...lightly.
Thanks Amanda for clearly laying out the real threats of a second Trump Administration. Reading Trump’s pronouncements is one thing - seeing how this can easily become reality is a wake up call that everyone needs to understand.
From Dictatorship for Dummies, Chapter 1: "Those who disobey will be shot in the street or hung in the town square and their bodies will be displayed at the gates that enter the city" (Sounds kind of like the "old days" in Europe).
The remaining chapters will present that which you have expoused upon in your artcile.
Dr. Timothy Snyder said something to the effect of "Those who do not know history, are missing some good examples."

Perpetual victim of a witch-hunting binge
He says he’s been wronged, and threatens revenge
His retribution is surely unjust, but
He does what he likes, and he likes what he does
