certainly be intimidation tactics employed by the government, but I do think we’ll win. The aftermath is going to be a shitshow, though. Expect a bunch of Republicans—especially in close races--to scream “fraud” (their new favorite word) and contest the results. Every since they normalized that shit back in 2020, it’s a foregone conclusion that many of these elections are going to be settled in court, and that’s going to remain an issue in the future.
Trump not leaving (or trying not to leave, anyway) is a valid fear, and more qualified political analysts than many of us have actually made the prediction that would happen if he won in 2024. Fortunately, he does seem to have at least publicly backed off of the idea in favor of leaving a permanent impact in other ways—like with all these unprecedented policies and stupid vanity projects. Some of this regime’s recent actions (and not just the bunker) are definitely worrying in that respect, though.
And yes, drastic measures are definitely going to need to be necessary. We have a completely unregulated (in this country) technology rapidly reshaping society and we’re only a couple years out from massive environmental shifts due to climate change. We do NOT have time to be refighting old battles and playing nice with fascists who would gladly do this all over again if given the chance. Prosecute them all.
