Donald Trump is going to win the election and democracy will be just fine
Flaired Users OnlyThe title is 100% correct about one thing though: IF Trump wins, democracy will in fact be perfectly fine, and nobody will be more upset about it than the Democrats who insist otherwise.
Which is weird, because they swore up and down they were all going to die the first time. And then nothing happened.
“How do you know Trump himself won’t come down the chimney and grab my husband by the p***y?“- Every progressive
We can’t get complacent. Biden, even while fully senile, had the gall to talk about how many lawsuits will be happening against Trump. It is a coordinated attack from that party and there are several obstacles to overcome.
It’s like I’ve said before: people need to realize it won’t just suddenly be a cake walk even if he were to win. It’s going to be four years of red tape and chaos as the good ole boys club in DC circles the wagons and hunkers down again with lawsuits, protests, media hit pieces, and “independent councils” for the duration of his second term.
They will NOT allow their status quo to be threatened. “In the name of democracy” of course.
Absolutely. Look at the attack on SCOTUS. The reason we are in this position is because they are starting with the institution level. For instance, our schools, universities and corporations are being forced into following and propagating ideology. Then they brainwash constantly with MSM, by falsely saying that this is a popular thing. Most people are afraid to speak up in fear of losing jobs. It is a long road ahead.
The institutions they don't own are the ones they're upset about. There aren't too many of those left, either.
100% agree. Just because things are falling apart in democrat party right now doesn't mean that we are going to win easily in Nov. This is still going be very tight election and we don't know if Biden will bail out on last second before convention and there's a possibly he might if the pressure is too great. Just pretend that we are behind on polls and get everyone to vote for Trump and republican party so we can get things done next year.
Yes, don't be complacent. Trump is the one candidate the GOP could have nominated who has a chance to lose to Biden, even without all his faculties. It will be close.
Believe it or not, when a person wins an election, even if you hate their stance on everything, it’s democracy in action.
Nononono. If the wrong person wins we need to assassinate them to preserve the democracy /s.
This is an op-ed by Jared Golden, Democrat congressman from Maine. For the record I think Trump is an underdog, as he was in 2016 and again in 2020 and it will be extremely difficult for him to win 2024. So this op-ed from a Democrat is surprising.
Golden is one of the best democrats in congress, even if that is a low bar.
The only threat to democracy if Trump wins will come from the reaction the left has to Trump winning.
Came here to say this. It absolutely will result in heinous threats to democracy, from the opposition, just like last time.
Ever since the debate, it's been so weird. It reminds me of 2016 when everyone acted like Hillary was inevitable. Hopefully people don't stay home because they think Trump will win no matter what.
It's funny because the doomsday prophecies of 2016 led to a pretty darn good stretch of four years economically and otherwise.
If it weren't for his opposition it would have been peaceful too
y’all really aren’t hearing them when they say “will be the end of democracy”….
they are telling you this from their perspective,and their serious…
allow me to further explain….
their looking at you via tv or in person and telling you that it will be an end to democracy….just their version though,and their telling the truth from their perspective….no more holding power,no more hamstringing legislature with open ended laws designed to benefit their agenda,lawfare on its way out….their speaking to everyone in the 3rd person about themselves..
yes….their little corrupt fantasy world where they get to decide is almost over,and they know it,and it makes me smile…
wouldn’t worry about them though,they’ll survive,they can go to a solar panel factory or learn to code…never to old to learn a new an exciting career was what was told to us a few years ago.

During and after his next term, when Trump didn't "overthrow democracy" or become a dictator as they fear mongered, the Democrats will claim that he attempted or wanted to but was prevented by them.
Or they will gaslight the public saying that no one had any doubt that Trump wouldn’t become a dictator, because he’s “very, weak sad man” or some other ad hominem insult. They will never admit they are wrong.
Biden will win regardless...why? because the swamp is deep & powerful!!..im sure there are 10s of millions of pre-filled out mail-in ballots ready to go. The media, social media, colleges and the like are all amped up to destroy this republic in the name of....s

Yeah, I remember reading articles like this about Hillary Clinton in 2016, and we know what happened. Get out and vote on Nov. 5!
