    I think anyone who’s over the age of 20 and doesn’t have an unmedicated anxiety disorder can remember how many “fate of our democracy” elections we’ve had. Remember Bush? Obama? Trump (1)? The only thing dying regardless of who gets the white house is the two geriatric fucks fighting over it.

      Yeah that’s because every single fucking Republican elected in the last 50 years has been absolutely disastrous for both America and the world. Democrats aren’t much better, oftentimes they’re just as bad, but every single Republican has fucked us over in some way or another.

      Yes, but also no. It has always been pumped up as the most important election ever, but this time we literally have someone in the ballot that incited an insurrection and says they will be a dictator on day one. It’s like the boy who cried wolf and this time there is actually a wolf.

        I remember people saying that in '04 about how Bush “overthrew democracy” to win his first term. The US Govt. is capable of withstanding a rogue POTUS.

        incited an insurrection

        Donnie must be dumber than I thought because he literally told those people to go home and leave after the insurrection that he apparently started.

          It’s convenient that he waited until it was clear the insurrection had failed before he told them to go home.

          Also, I don’t remember Bush over throwing democracy being a big talking point. You got any source for that?

          he literally told those people to go home

          Just like the mob boss literally said, he’s worried about the safety of your family. Nobody with any sense is buying that BS.
