    They also didn’t have near instant communication accross the country. It’s also one state, rather than a group of them.

    There will be midterms, and politicians will think about them.

      Why are you assuming that, or that the midterms won’t be anything but a sham?

      I really suggest you read about what dictatorships are like because you don’t seem to be aware.

        If you think they can and will rig an election in 2 years, then why would you assume this past election wasn’t already rigged?

        Also if you think fascism is guaranteed, what are you doing commenting on Lemmy right now instead of moving your daughter and wife out of the US?

        I just think doomerism is a self fulfilling prophecy. If you want to give up and let the fascists have everything they want, well that’s your perogative I guess.

          Because Trump didn’t control all three branches of government.

          Also if you think fascism is guaranteed, what are you doing commenting on Lemmy right now instead of moving your daughter and wife out of the US?

          I’m literally doing that. I’ve made no secret of it at all. If you mean why am I not getting on a plane this second, Trump isn’t president yet. You do know that, right? We have time to prepare.
