9. I think Trump *is* shaking in his boots.

Courts are rebuking much of everything he's tried to illegally institute, even Congressional Republicans are balking at the budget, even Fox News polls show that he's wildly unpopular and they just keep dropping. They're doubling down on their hateful rhetoric and ramping up attacks on everyone not in their bubble - including some judges one could assume would be in their bubble. The coup will only be successful over the long term if they can exclusively control the narrative, something that was much easier in 1945, before the Internet and various Civil Rights movements codified equality under law to people who have been traditionally marginalized: POC, women, GLBTQ+, and religious minorities have gained much greater access to economic mobility, education, and self-determination. So, yeah, individual statements and sternly worded statements are generally bullshit, but the populace at large is pushing back and not buying the bullshit he's selling.
