I’m just gonna suggest that we not take anybody’s word for it that “it’ll probably fail” unless we make damned fucking sure it fails. Voter suppression, screwing with voting machines, vote tallies, people getting to polls, throwing out votes, throwing out voter registrations, stuffing ballot boxes (something they accuse us of which means they’re doing it), seizing ballots, ballot boxes, voting machines, voting humans, vote counters, or elected officials… or just ordering the military to drag anyone who protests him canceling the election to Aligator Alcatraz, CECOT, or other concentration camp … any of that is possible.
Guys, the truth is that dictators often come to power (apparently) “legally” in democracies. But never in the history of ever has such a despot elected democratically (presumably) been later deposed by means of an election. Never. Not once. The only reason is might possibly happen this time is that Donald Trump is completely fucking incompetent. But do not underestimate him. Especially not because someone else says you can/should.
