When two worlds collide? Then what?

I'll make this short, well maybe not.
And no this is not some new or old Sci-Fi movie plot, well not intentionally...
I bring up comparing that fake world administration Donald Trump has been creating and what happens when that fake world, his delusional world, collides with real world?
So what happens then?

In Trump world you question and distrust American institutions.
In Trump world you believe a Soviet leader and mass murderer over your own intelligence agencies.
In Trump world you believe in the wildest conspiracy theories and surround yourself with others of the same.
In Trump world you believe that simply because you became wealthy and built towers that you are god and destine ruler over all the world.
In Trump world you believe your world of fantasy has powers to absorb all others into the fantasy.

It is no secret that Trump has been hiring and appointing Fox News contributor after Fox News contributor into his cabinet. Most of which are wild conspiracy theorist card carrying members.
And within that delusional world of Fox News, what is said in Fox world stays in Fox world.
Causing very little if any harm to the outside real world.
That was, until now....

Just one of the Trump Fox News appointees, and there have been many, is one lady Fox contributor that believed and still believes Barack Obama is not Black.
And I dare not utter her name.
Lets just call her and the others "those that shall be nameless".
If we are not wise enough to keep ourself informed then ye be truly doomed.

This woman truly believes that Barack Obama is not a Black African, but is indeed Arab African.
Believing that Christian born Africans are given only Christian names.
Oh I guess something like Kunta Kinte or Nyo Boto, or maybe Fred?
This ex-Fox News anchor / contributor and soon to be Trump administration member is well known for believing that Obama was given an Arab-African name of Barack Hussein, so therefore he is not Black.
So, we now have this Fox News contributor / fill-in news anchor "AND" newly chosen Trump administration member who comes directly from the fantasy world of Fox News.
And she is by no means the only one.
Trump pick after pick solely chosen from Fox News current and or past Fox people.
And thus Donald Trump builds his world of fantasy consisting solely of the fake, misinformed, delusional, fantasy world of Fox News contributors and one time anchors.
Which again would be just fine "IF" this fantasy world were the world we all lived in.

So... what happens when the real world, the real Soviets, the real North Korean's, the real Chinese, and real countless other foreign nations both friend and foe, what happens when they collide head to head with this fantasy world created solely by Donald Trump?
Donald Trump will indeed be put to the test by all of them.
Will this fantasy world of Donald Trump or a single one of his fantasy world administration realize what is at stake when tested?
Will they have the ability to determine fantasy from reality?
Scary?
Damn straight! And damn scary indeed.

To live within ones self created fantasy world might be all fine and dandy for those confined to an institution, rendered harmless by white suits with long straps, window bars, and padded cells.
But for a newly elected president and his administration?
Hold onto your private parts people.
There is no way this new journey will not threaten our very existence.
Including the very survival of American democracy.
If anyone really cares anymore, that is......

all they care about is "states rights" and taking control of the supreme court. Anything else can be explained away.

I see nothing exceptional or important about me. I fully expect to be a victim of the Great American Death Wish, the Big F-Me the electorate squeaked by at the polls. All I did was recommend against it. Now I get to watch what deaf, screaming, f-meers, do to us.

I'm starting to be convinced that there are two Americas. The divide between the right and the left seems to be irreconcilable.Both think their way is right, and the only way.

There's a lot of BS that's irreconcilable, that's the partisan divide coming into contact via social media.
You actually get to see what the other side THINKS. As opposed to just ignoring or only hearing their polished PR.

I think there's some room socially and economically to pull a new majority together. It just has to drop some old dead weight first.

You forgot:
In a Trump world sportage, BonzalDuck and Moonbeam will lose their minds.
I don't think you understand, Londo. There are enough of my fellow countrymen that are is such deep pain that they voted for a mad man who will only make things worse and they did it intentionally because pain turns into hate. I feel only pity that so many are in such pain and there is nothing I can do about it. I'm not losing my mind, I'm sad that others have. Personally, I'm fine.
