    Right, all that dictator he became and how he successfully ended democracy, I remember.

    Sorry your hyperbolic fear mongering isn’t quite enough to manipulate me, nor was it for Bush, nor when the republicans did the exact same thing for Obama, nor when it was 1st trump, nor again when trump v biden, and same as every one of those times, everything will remain the same.

    Don’t get me wrong, if it happens I’ll be first in line with a rifle to fight it, but I highly doubt it.

      Unless of course Trump runs roughshod over the rule of law, and exacts revenge on his political rivals. As he has stated he will do if elected. He is not asking to be a dictator, he is stating that he is going to be.

      So basically the opposite of “everything will remain the same”.

      Don’t get me wrong, if it happens I’ll be first in line with a rifle to fight it, but I highly doubt it.

      I also highly doubt that you would fight back in any way. You’re extremely comfortable with the premise that this is just like every other election; if that were so, then why are you suggesting that you’d fight?

        He can try, trying and succeeding are two different things.

        I’m suggesting that if you’re right, that if trump manages to successfully “end” democracy and install himself as dictator as you claim he’s so able to do, I’d be first in line. This election is just like every other, thus why nobody has picked up rifles yet, there’s a startling lack of democracy ending dictators afoot, contrary to popular claim that every president since Regan would become one.

        Time will tell. Will this be just like all the other times this was claimed including the last time the same guy won, or will it be for realsies this time? !remindme 4 years.
