I wish that could be the case, but there won't be another election if Democrats lose, at least for the presidency. A fascist takeover is an explicit campaign promise for Trump. Thinking there's a strategy for Democrats to regain power through elections shows how little you know. We have to take Trump at his word considering how honest he was in his original campaign.

We're on the edge of that cliff even if Biden wins reelection, as local Republican officials are working overtime to enshrine their power and enact as many evil policies as possible. No abortions, trans people, regulations, taxes, you name it. They're enacting unpopular shit because most Republicans don't even think about policy. This isn't a future threat, it's already here. I'm not predicting doom as much as describing the current state of things.

We don't have good options. We don't have wiggle room. We don't have votes to spare. The Republicans are seriously considering invading Mexico & crashing the economy with blanket tariffs that benefit no economic perspective, only accelerationist political goals. They're halting legislation in Blue states with bomb threats, and no one is going to stop them. The insanity is here. The book burnings are here. The brownshirts are here. The oppression isn't hypothetical, so please do what can be done to alleviate it.
