Robert Reich: Sunday Thought: Why Trump Is Doomed

[MadameButterfly]

6. I was hoping to be more comforted by this post

But I don't know what to do with my despair over how baad things must get for Trump to lose popularity.
Yes, I agree that his popularity will continue to fall.
Yes, he will over-reach as despots tend to do.
I need some help in believing that this will matter. That there will be another free and fair election.

I need to understand the mechanism by which this will turn around. People in government who will stop doing his bidding? Republicans lawmakers who wont always vote his way? Even SCOTUS gets alarmed and won't sign the death warrant on democracy? Corporations figure out that democracy is more profitable than tax cuts? Soldiers who won't follow his illegal orders? States able to protect their voting systems despite dissolution of the agencies created to protect elections?

Please help me here, i want to be convinced.
