In 50 years this quote will be in textbooks and students will wonder how people nowadays could not see the signs

Well it'll either be in the chapter:

How Trump Saved America, The South Has Risen

Or

Democracy Survived, How America Repelled a Fascist

Or possibly: The Fall of the American Empire

The fall of the American republic...the fall of the empire comes a bit later

Well, there's Hitler who did exactly the same: publish a book, try not one but several coups, still get named chancelier legally. In France we like them too: we have 2 Napoléon who did the same thing. It almost happened another time in 1958, but the man they put in power was reasonable for once.
