It most certainly is a mandate for authoritarian rule. Trump has made no secret of his intentions and he has been elected by a solid majority of the American people. Many of us have completely misjudged those people - thinking that perhaps they are just misinformed. They are not. The U.S.A. is a ship of fools.
Too long - maybe break up over two days? Agree with first part, but ran out of steam partway through. Time constraints, but will try to come back and read the rest.
I couldn't read past the first paragraph. Because the majority of people in the US did NOT elect TFG. It was more like a third.
The correct phrasing would be the majority of voters.
Semantics, you say? Maybe so, but to me that's an important distinction. We need to keep reminding people, ourselves included, that the majority of the population didn't elect him.

Some great advice. It’s well past time for the gloves to come off.
