It's important to know when harsh action is understood not just a necessary evil, but as an instructive or necessary tool for correction or redemption.

He understands what he is doing, and always has. It's the rule of the street, of the basest of human psyche. Never mind that he never thought he'd be president, his experiment is about how far he can push this. How far will his followers go to appease the master, their saviour?

I will be 81 on Halloween and I have seen a lot of history in my lifetime, so far.
What sticks in my mind is that historically, Russians have a "long game" mentality. Consider how chess is one of their favored past times.
What I have been seeing, with the apparent manipulations to get Donald Trump elected, is a sinister plan that has been Russia's long range strategy for years. It has finally paid off!
By getting their "man" elected to the presidency, they now have a man who is fragmenting our society, creating an atmosphere that is encouraging bigotry, has caused rifts with our traditional allies and who seems intent on destroying our environment. All the while, without shame, he has been profiting from his position. Profiting not only for himself, but for his family and friends, as well.
I saw in him, with his bluster and his odd hand gestures as he spoke, a man who is channeling Hitler. And as time has gone by, with his attacks on ethnic groups, gay people, immigrants of all sorts and even attacking the reporting of professionals, calling it "fake news" in order to hide his game plan from the public, I have more and more felt that his game plan is to destroy our Democracy and install himself as dictator for life.
No wonder he wanted a judge on the Supreme Court that could hand him a rubber stamp.
To witness the Republicans' childish glee when Kavanaugh was confirmed was horrifying to me because it illustrated a complete lack of caring about our country. Not one patriot there.
It appears that Russia's plan is moving along exactly the way they wanted. Horrifying!
What is going to happen next, I wonder? Are we facing the end of Democracy in our great country? Will "outside agents" again sway the upcoming elections, so that the actual votes are in some way altered to change the results?
There are so many frightening things being reported at this time that make it difficult for me to sleep.
What do you think about my fears.

They are well justified. However, these people are idiots, and will eventually fail. The question is how man million, or billion will suffer before that happens. I pray not many.
