What is with these bullshit whiny articles? They literally voted against his dictatorship last cycle.
Stupid fear-mongering.
More dominoes lined up this go around.
More safe guards have eroded since 2020. The Republicans that did not fall to heel have been replaced.
Last time he had less of a plan, and less institutional support. Now they have lists of supporters to fill the non-elected positions -those were the people that who slowrolled and resisted his worst policies before.
I'd like to be more optimistic, but this isn't going to be a fair fight and the stakes are higher.
And Tumbervill blocking military promotions was for one Reason. Remember the military higher ups were fundamental in stopping Trump from doing a lot of crazy dictator things.
The 15th Amendment guarantees every American adult the right to vote and have their vote counted. Anybody who commits treason against our country will be going to prison along with Convicted Rapist Treason Trump. This will be very important since we will be setting up the standards for the future.
Gerrymandering, electoral college, voter suppression
We need to win by 5% just for a tie.
The scary part is the Supreme Court trying to kill Voting Rights just before the election. I'm more afraid of that.

Completely agree, that's what I'm worried about also.
They're getting real good at taking away citizen rights
New polls that aren't good.
He also refused to step down..
Trump is leading the election polls by a lot.
It isn't even the election year.
I dunno, polls concerning if people like trump or not are highly unfavorable towards him

Oh, those super reliable polls that have called the presidential election wildly incorrectly twice now?
Also, no they don't.
All the polls show them tied at worst and Biden usually leading by a small percentage.
Show me your evidence.
The polls have not been wrong, both elections feel within the margin of error.
