Has it really hit us how close we came to a dictatorship?

1. Pretty scary

[ffr]

2. As Don Lemon said, we're all suffering from PTSD

We just didn't realize it. It's why were' so emotional and somewhat still in denial that the nightmare abusive relationship of the treasonous tRump regime is coming to an end.

12. I believe we are too.

We were just a hair away from a Hitler-like dictatorship.

It will take a long time to heal.

3. It sure has. We would be having a very different discussion if the reverse happened

4. We have been a sort of dictatorship these past 4 years

Republicans held all the power in a "Tyranny of the Majority".

7. Except, Republicans always represented a minority of the population.

It would be more correct to call it a tyranny of the minority.

17. True enough.

I was referring to their holding all three branches of Government.

5. I can't believe 71 million fucking idiots voted to end democracy just last week

After 4 years of the shit we went through

[ooky]

6. Absolutely.

We just dodged a torpedo.

8. We're not out of the woods yet.

America and the world have fallen back from the edge of the precipice, but the danger of facism still looms, both here and around the globe.

9. Came?

We're not out of the woods yet.

A Biden re-election in 2024 followed by 8 years of President Harris, where we claw back the damage done the the Judiciary, and rebalance the power of the President, and then I think we can say that we've avoided falling into a dictatorship.

10. Yes

I don’t cry very often, but have been crying tears of joy and relief every hour or so ever since Saturday afternoon.

11. We aren't all that safe yet. Nearly half the voters voted for Trump, and many of the other

state & national offices didn't go our way.

Yes, there was a lot of cheating by the Republicans, but there will continue to be, so we are still in real danger.

13. After January 20th we'll see...

I am perplexed. So many people here are already taking a dump on the Democratic party because of some perceived action in the future. The hatred continues, it's just redirected. Really sickening.

[fleur-de-lisa]

14. Yes. I thought about it every day for almost 4 years.

[Iggo]

15. A few years back.

16. Permanently get rid of the voting machines

For mail voting...it barely saved us this time
