As the circus continues, those who drank the cool aid will remain loyal. The rest, the middle voters who hoped for change, will be quickly disenchanted. The danger here is that by the time the middle of the road voters catch on, he will have grabbed so much power that there will be no turning back for the country.
My fellow citizens do not seem to be schooled enough in history to see the process. I've seen it in other countries, at other times. I do fear for the future here.
