8. For the sake of foreign policy too - definitely

There's no doubt in my mind that, if Cheeto had succeeded in his coup (besides imposing martial law or something akin to it here at home), he would've:

a) Colluded with Bolsonazi to help him rig last year's Brazilian elections - or, failing that, self-coup his way into a 2nd term;

and b) Refused to aid Ukraine in any way, stopped the rest of NATO from doing so, and (no doubt) shared our satellite/other intelligence with his boss Vlad the Invader.

He would've probably even used the Saudis, and possibly the Isrealis (like Reagan did), to ship arms/tech covertly to Putin.

And with the U.S. under some form of martial law, who would be there to blow the whistle?

MSNBC? Shut down. NPR? Shut down. CNN? Taken over (with Chris Licht's connivance). Progressive internet sites and YouTubes? "Suspended."

So for those reasons, and so much else, we can't take any chances. We're ridin' with Biden.
