Imagine comparing four years of a democratically elected official you don't like to decades of apartheid in South Africa and wanting to be taken seriously.

And yet, there is reality in which people like this get power and exact vengeance for all the perceived wrongs that occurred...which are largely just "Orange Man bad, we lost elections and the other side didn't do what we wanted."
For those confused about where apartheid comes in here, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was the name of the post-apartheid quasi-judicial body that investigated and held public hearings over human rights violations suffered during apartheid.
No, we do not need a post-apartheid-esque body post-Trump. And yes, there is ample reason to believe such a body created by people like Reich would be far more "Stalin" than "Archbishop Desmond Tutu."
