They say it couldn't happen here... with people like this, yes it could

Here is a post by far right racist blogger John D. Smithson.  His attitudes typify the Trump base.  They call themselves 'patriots' but they'd be very happy to see ALL Trump investigations stop and Mueller be fired.  If they had their way, they'd prefer an authoritarian-Putin type leadership wher investigative journalism is crushed, journalists are imprisoned and killed, and investigators like Mueller end up with radiation poisoning.

Making the case that Trumps finances have "nothing to do with Russia" is stupid, corrupt, and shows he's hiding something.   Trump's finances have EVERYTHING to do with Russia. 

Yes, with people like John D. Smithson... it could happen here.  Check out this post where he calls for Mueller's firing.
