    I can’t believe people still have faith in fair elections. He tried to cheat his first win. He refused to leave after his loss to Biden and tried to overthrow the government. Then he cheated again last year.

    And for some reason you think the midterms will be open and fair?! That he’ll even hold them at all? Or will allow them to be fair without cheating or intimidation? Or will actually obey the results? He doesn’t listen to Congress now! Why would he start if the Dems won?!

    And if by some miracle all of that worked out you think the Dems are going to start fighting back now? This isn’t a political fight. It’s a class fight and most of the Dems are in the owner class. That’s why they go along with all this.

    Stop relying on the next election. You don’t vote your way out of fascism. Totalitarian leaders do not value elections. He will not leave or give up power.
