19. Legitmacy needed to rule

That's what I see happening too, he's going to try to steal the election and if he's successful he'll still need roughly 30% support to be legitimate at all. That's what people don't get, The dictators in history didn't start out popular, they started out with a fanatical base that provided legitimacy, maybe 20% or 30%, then when they start removing the opposition and controlling the media fully their popularity rises because the people don't hear anything negative anymore.

If Trump steals a 2nd term, I guarantee he will ban all media save for FOX or OANN from all government functions briefings. There won't be real press conferences anymore, and the press releases will only go through OANN. Everyone, including the legit media, would be forced to go to OANN for anything.
