Oh, I don't know, JM. It's always the most likely outcome that someone elected President is going to be an enemy of liberty. The trend has been against liberty and to lose more and more liberty probably every year but certainly every decade for my entire lifetime.
So if that continues to happen for the next eight years -- business as usual! No big deal. I mean, it's a big deal but nothing I'm going to get worked up or shocked (shocked!) about.
For me, I am content to wait until Trump is actually President before I start ranting and railing about how horrible he is. I know, I know, call me crazy! It's just a much more defensible position to criticize actions that have actually taken place in reality -- bills signed or vetoed, regulations repealed or piled on -- than conspiracy theories. Not saying "conspiracy theories" derogatorily -- I'm all for conspiracy theories -- but they are, by nature: speculative. Let's wait for reality to prove them out or cause them to fade away. I do understand the risk that President Trump will turn out to be an evil globalist working to usher in the NWO. A very big risk! And so does every one else in the liberty circles you and I frequent, I think. Certainly everyone on RPF.
What I like is that there's a chance (a somewhat small chance) that he won't just be an evil globalist working to usher in the NWO.
That chance, small as it is, has certainly not existed at all for the previous Presidents for a generation, except perhaps Reagan (who got shot and then was pretty much neutralized from then on). So, I mean, that's nice! At least until reality kills the dream.
