I appreciate the insights of those interviewed here. Trump, Tom Homan, Stephen Miller - they're all likely dreaming about "shock and awe" - but they haven't read Mark Hertling's Bulwark piece today on that topic. You should. Then look again at what several of Adrian's interviewees said. People are preparing. There will be chaos, fog, cruelty, much uncertainty. I'm certain many will NOT be awed. Probably not even that shocked, because we can anticipate what may be coming.

Trump & MAGA, however, are self-certain & over-confident. They don't have the common sense of the Marine who sat next to Hertling in class and observed, “perhaps this professor who’s never worn the uniform doesn’t understand how tough it really is in combat” - by which I mean, Trump & his underlings haven't walked for days through jungle & desert; they haven't lived in the shadows or under the radar; they haven't gone hungry, sacrificed much for very little; survived on hope & prayer.

Some are awake at night because they are preparing themselves to survive new challenges. Many have become good at it. We shall see, brothers and sisters
