The OP would lead us all to believe that our country was hunky dory during the eight yeas of the Messiah administration. And now hell is before us because we elected Trump. Leave already, our country will do fine with less extremists. I hear ISIS is recruiting so perhaps you should look there.

No child left behind was not an Obama era creation.
I think it could easily happen via a coup in Washington and I think it might be something we might face whenever Trump leaves office, be it by impeachment, resignation, or him serving out his Presidency until 2020 or 2024.
When it happens, I am worried about severe oppression for anyone who doesn't conform or is perceived as an enemy of the state. This will include atheists, scientists, liberal historians, the LGBT community, Muslims, etc. Society will likely be a cross between "A Handmaids Tale" and "V for Vendetta." I can easily see the Southern Baptist Convention being absorbed by the new government and becoming the state church. Media and the Internet will be heavily controlled and censored by the state.
Why could this happen? A large percentage of Americans have lost faith in our system of government and believe the only option is to burn the entire thing down and start over. They realize there is no rolling back Roe v Wade, marriage equality, or forcing cultural Christianity and traditional values on everyone within the confines of our current system of government. They will need a new, right-wing authoritarian government to accomplish their goals. Whether Trump serves out his Presidency or not, it's very likely that a Democrat will be elected in 2020 or 2024 and when that happens, I don't think the far right will be able to accept it. We are already seeing more and more calls for revolution from the far right. We are headed to a very dire place in this country.
I am beginning to wonder if progressives need to start thinking about getting or renewing their passports so we can escape once the coup happens.
Maybe the Baptists were right when they were preaching that gay marriage would be the end of our country. It's simply happening in a different way than they expected.
Actually, I think your assessment above is spot on.

Calling someone stupid while walking into a wall. Smart!
Huh? You think a dictatorship will happen after Trump leaves office?
Interesting, but I'd think you have it backwards. Trump is the one who expected his presidency to function like a dictatorship, and how expresses admiration for authoritarian heads of state.
If you're saying that a "large percentage" of Americans will work toward a coup, I tend to think you're wrong. A big chunk of Trump supporters were momentarily roused, but I don't think that's going to develop. In fact, some of those Trump voters had even voted for Obama.
Sounds like a great dystopian novel, though.

The right clearly wants an authoritarian dictatorship.
Fortunately, they're awful at actually getting much accomplished and have picked the most inept blowhard they could find to lead them.
This is nothing more than the death rattle of a bunch of angry morons who find themselves unable to keep up in the modern world.
