The difference is that Trump has a base of people that would follow him into a death chamber before they admitted he is unfit as president. The French were neither as loyal or as stupid.

Following is an interestiing word. I come back to greek mythology and the Trojan Horse. Many of "his people" see in him a fabulous opportunity to both make a lot of money raping and pillaging the state, organizing life to protect their current and future wealth and making sure their kind can feed off the people for evermore. Once in the driving seat they don't need Trump anymore.
I believe you only refer to those who already have money and power. Many of his "base" have neither, but continue to flock to him like lambs to the slaughter. They cannot necessarily make more money because of him, and they have no definable wealth to protect. That population is more scary to me than the obvious hangers-on who are only interested in Trump as their puppet.
They are going to be extremely disappointed, even mad as hell both at Trump and the rest of the world...humiliated that they were mistaken in believing in their "messiah" who both lied to them and was disgusted by them and humiliated even more as for the rest of the world their blind, dumb and deaf niavety was plain to see. Biden is going to be obliged to help them retake a place in society...not as in their dreams but alongside everyone else.
Yes indeed as Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's then Democratic Party VP, took over after the Republican President's assassination and undid practically all that Lincoln had achieved and all of for what the North fought and won the Civil War setting back equality and human rights by at least 100 if not 150 years.
"Trump placed a portrait of Jackson in the Oval Office and made a pilgrimage to the late presidentтАЩs tomb in Nashville less than two months after being sworn in.
"'Trump is the first president to so openly admire and point to Jackson as a model, and to borrow so clearly and explicitly from the language of Jacksonian тАШdemocracy,тАЩ ' said J.M. Opal, a historian at McGill University and author of Avenging the People: Andrew Jackson, the Rule of Law, and the American Nation. " - PolitiFact
The 2 books that Trump has certainly read are on Jackson and Hitler.
Stuart, youтАЩre speaking to the choir here. We know this will eventually happen, but look at the damage in the mean time. Scary and nervous times we are in.
Me too! The son of a friend took a year off travelling and working on lumber caps and suchlike from Alaska to Florida and came back summer 2016 convinced that Trump would win.

How'd that work out after the last civil war?
Refighting that one because of the loose ends.

My first real scare was in Lancaster, PA where I was driving behind a car with a bumper sticker that read: "I follow Trump".
This was way before the election.
Still seeing trump bumper stickers in Texas. Fewer signs in yards though.
Once they're stuck on your car it's a bind to scape them off..not very pretty results...but yard signs come down easily..just a kick will suffice!
Yes, Daniel, I live across the Susquehanna from you in York, PA. We get lots of signs by folks who follow Trump. Oh my!
Me too! The son of a friend took a year off travelling and working on lumber caps and suchlike from Alaska to Florida and came back summer 2016 convinced that Trump would win.
The signs were there. Confederate flags, cold stares in gas stations, attracting coldness when I'd get leave nyc.
