The only saving grace here is he talks a lot of shit all the time and then doesn’t follow through. His first term was supposed to be wild too. They were going to build a wall across North America and Mexico was going to pay for it. Never happened. He was going to force companies to not ship jobs overseas. Never happened. They were going to stop all Muslims coming into the country. They tried, but failed. He was going to assign a special prosecutor to lock up Hillary Clinton. Never happened. They were going to repeal Obamacare on day one… The list goes on and on. He’s full of shit all the time.
The Million Americans dead from a purposefully sandbagged and mishandled COVID response beg to differ with your analysis in just how ruinous the Trump presidential term, was. Do they not count? Trump personally packed the Supreme Court with anti abortionists, who then killed Roe dead, do America’s women not count? Doesn’t matter what anyone says it’s what they do. Trump did so much lasting damage to the United States it will take decades to undo. The next bite of the apple will kill it deader than Dillinger. It doesn’t matter how much shit he talks, it’s what he’s able to destroy once given the power. That’s all the racists care about.
Just calling them “racists” does a huge disservice to the rest of us targeted by waves of bigoted laws sweeping across the country. They’re going after anyone and everyone not white, male, Christian, straight, and cisgender. This is much bigger than simply race.
Never forget that, because they sure won’t. 
Trump never expected to win in 2016 and had no understanding of how the government worked, on any level. He still likely has no understanding how much of the government works, but he now understands how to warp it to protect and serve himself, and you bet against him doing so from day one at your peril.
If you really want to know what will absolutely happen if he gets reelected, look into Project 2025.

The reason I think this will happen is it doesn’t really rely on Trump at all. He’ll just do what he’s told by these fascists and go along with it. Same thing he did before with the court packing, but this time on an entirely different level.
Removing career employees out of the federal government is how you actually remove the ability of the government to function. These are the people that actually know the rules AND FOLLOW THEM because if not their jobs are on the line. Unlike politicians, they can’t just lie to people and get back in power.
The reelection of Trump would not be a constitutional crisis. It would be an endless succession of them.
“wild and extreme” are doing some heavy lifting for racist, fascist, ruinous and deadly, here

The rhetorical escalation from the four-times-indicted ex-president came at a rally in South Dakota on Friday night where he accused his possible 2024 opponent, President Joe Biden, of ordering his indictment on 91 charges across four criminal cases as a form of election interference.
While his predecessor spent the weekend casting doubt on America’s election system, Biden was on the other side of the globe in India and Vietnam building international support for his signature foreign policy strategy of combating the threat to Western democracy from authoritarian leaders in China and Russia.
Back home, the ex-president’s extremism also exposes the timidity of most of his Republican primary rivals, who have recently been ganging up on rookie candidate Vivek Ramaswamy but are only willing to criticize Trump in the most oblique terms to avoid crossing his millions of GOP supporters.
Trump’s bluntness and carefully maintained image as an outsider, despite the fact that he used to live in the White House, allow him to endlessly tap a seam of resentment against Washington and political, economic and media “elites” that is deeply felt by many who back the “Make America Great Again” movement.
And schooled by Trump, Republicans widely complain that the current president’s son, Hunter Biden – who is under investigation by a special counsel over alleged tax and gun law violations after the collapse of a plea deal – is being given preferential treatment by the Justice Department.
But the hundreds of pages of evidence in criminal indictments alleging Trump’s use of presidential power to try to steal an election and the way he is using his appearances and social media to try to intimidate judges and potential jury pools ahead of his trials have left such critiques badly outdated.
