    There’s having a difference of opinion and then there’s wanting to end democracy as we know it. Trump and Trump supporters are a threat to democracy.

      That’s utter BS

      Also there is some irony to believing that a democratically elected leader is undemocratic. If 2020 taught us anything it is that you must respect the system.

        Trump has basically openly admitted that if he had his way, this would be our last election.

        JD Vance is a weird corpo-monarchist. He’s written about it a bit, but his corpo-daddy Peter Thiel has openly spoken about it.

        Then there’s Project 2025, a literal blueprint for Trump to follow to turn the country into a christo-fascist dictatorship. Vance wrote the forward to the book form, but the author is holding it back until after the election. Not out of shame, but because they know that being so open with their plan has hurt them in the polls.

        How did Hitler raise to power again? Was it a violent fascist military campaign, where he clearly outlined the holocaust in explicit detail, or did a combination of propaganda, street action, democracy, and constant, daily, unending lies that they would be very humane and reasonable in their deportation of ll millions of Jews, and NOT forming a fascist dictatorship to go to war with the entire world to kill everyone not German and repopulate the world with only Germans they SWAERSIED they wouldn’t do.

        If you can’t grasp how the plan to depopulation the county of 20 MILLION Hispanic peoples no matter how legal isn’t PLAINLY obvious to you as ethnic clensing, you are the stooge. You are the fool. You are the useful idiot. You have accepted the party line uncritically. You have a crippling lack of curiosity, you can’t fathom why anyone would be offended by calling all Hispanics illegal, as you aren’t even Hispanic, so why would you care, it doesn’t hurt your feelings or threaten you.

      Trump and Trump supporters are a threat to democracy.

      Uhg… No, no they arent… this is exactly the narrative pushed by the left. You’re repeating it like a good little democratic but neither candidate is a threat to democracy. America will be fine. Neither candidate will end democracy.

      Just to make my position clear, I’ve never voted republican.
