    Problem is, the nightmare scenario of a second Trump term has already arrived. I don’t know if there will be further elections, I assume there will be and act as such. If there are then guess what? The nightmare is already here, and the disaster is already actively destroying the country, so tax credits for starting a small business or whatever the fuck aren’t cutting it anymore. I want actual governmental reform.

    They can either go left or they can fuck right off. Absolutely nobody will buy the “most important election of our lifetimes” bullshit again after whatever happens next year.

      Well let’s hope it wakes them up. I’m sure there are senior Democrats thinking, “Trump will make a mess and anger people, so we’ll just ride this out until we can get reelected then back to business as usual.” And “He won’t abolish/undermine elections -that’s just talk.” Some of them will never learn, because they deeply don’t want to.

      There will continue to be elections. They just won’t be free and fair, particularly in states with Republican control.
