Failure of imagination indeed!

It is possible that the USA could experience a serious insurrection again. There's at least 100,000 MAGA followers willing to die for their cause.

Mr. Trump is also an old man. He could pop off at any time. That will take the steam out of the MAGA movement.

But the next autocrat will likely be smarter than the last one.

I think all possibilities should be considered and planned for.

But if we are to really use imagination, maybe it's time to start building a new democracy.
