He is gone…. For now.

America, we got lucky. On the laundry list of things Donald Trump has been terrible at in his life, transforming our country into a fascist autocracy was only the latest.

After four years of constant chaos, endless lying, the near daily horrors like an official policy to rip children from the arms of their parents to discourage illegal border crossings, we need to keep in mind that it could have been worse. As bad as it was, Donald Trump had zero capacity for strategic thinking, no interest in learning from his mistakes, a non-existent attention span. So, yes, he absolutely admired and praised murderous dictators and had authoritarian tendencies himself, including, of course, his repeated attempts to steal the election he could not win, capped off with the deadly QAnon Coup attempt of January 6. But he was inept, and terrible at implementing his impulses.

What happens, though, next time, when the fascism-curious president is smarter and more competent?

Donald Trump has blazed the trail and shown, with the help of a pliant Republican Party, that there is no consequence for trying to thwart the will of the voters. There will be others.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

S.V. Dáte is a senior White House correspondent at HuffPost. His new update to The Useful Idiot offers a stark warning about the perils facing America, as exposed by Donald Trump's failed "QAnon Coup" attempt of January 6, 2021, the last gasp in his months-long effort to remain in power despite losing re-election resoundingly.

Dáte is the author of five novels and two political biographies, including one of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. He has been a journalist for three decades, including at the Associated Press, the Palm Beach Post, National Journal and NPR. He is a blue water sailor, tallying 15,000 ocean miles aboard a 44-foot cutter with his two children, as they sailed across the Atlantic, through the Mediterranean and back via the Caribbean.

Too many repetitions, and so could have been shorter. Good overall but why didn’t some of the GOP not see where this was going?...Read more
