I mean in terms of percentages.

And I don’t necessarily mean three full terms. 2.5 terms or 2.1 terms or anything nontrivially more than 2 (like, 10 minutes more doesn’t count) would qualify.

    Almost zero, but not because I believe in American democracy. I think the techno-fascist machine will grind forward regardless of Trump being in office.

      Exactly. If it wasn’t clear in 2016, it certainly is now - Trump is a symptom, not the root problem

        Democrats are practically shoving the voting base towards trump. Their whole selling point is “saving the system that’s starving you”.

        Trump promised to destroy it, and destroy it he will. Not for us of course.

        Same thing happened in 1930s Germany. Nornal parties were just gonna keep things going, while people had to use wheelbarrows of cash to buy a loaf and Hitler promised to destroy it all and make Germany the greatest its ever been.

          You might believe that the following facts are besides your point, but I still want to get this straight:

          • Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic reached its peak in 1923
          • the NSDAP (the nazi party) got only 2% of the vote in the 1928 elections
          • Hitler rose to power in 1933, after getting over 40% of the vote.

          Note that there were 4 national elections between 1930 and 1933. The Weimar Republic was about as stable politically as a house of cards on a trampoline.

          It’s still true that part of the success of Hitler’s party was due to former non-voters losing fate in the established parties, especially in regards to economic policy, but it is not as direct of a connection as your comment makes it out to be.

      Ya i think people still aren’t seeing that the Billionaire class is why he won. He isn’t pulling the strings he is just the puppet.
