Chances of this are pretty high! See: Venezuela

Same. Even better, they work independently from one another and look in different directions. Talking to me can be disorienting.

Another screenshot of text from the linked column. It reads:

In his gut, Trump is the preteen bully on the playground β€” more big bones and huskiness than muscle β€” who gets his snack freebies at recess by rearing back an arm, cocking a fist and letting everyone’s imagination do the work for him. He has neither the first clue what to do if swinging becomes necessary, nor the slightest desire to find out, because it might hurt. He hasn’t thought for a second about how he would maintain dominance day after day. The menacing fist exists to express the hate he thinks he’s entitled to unleash and to generate the fear that he is owed. But the work ends there. Snacks are treats he gets as a reward for being his worst self, and it’s hard to tell which is more satisfying, but this is also all that there is.

There was a type-in at a coffee shop. That's my type of party.
