    Just a reminder to my American friends that everyone was absolutely positive there was no way Trump would get elected in 2016. You sleptwalked into a near dictatorship because everyone agreed the idea that he could win was a big joke. There’s very real possibility that a refusal to believe he can do it again will mean he does do it again. And if he does, I don’t think it’ll be a near dictatorship you have to live in.

      The idea he could win was a big joke. Until it wasn’t.

      If he somehow wins in 2024, well, I’m not living in that dystopia one way or another.

      I am honestly terrified by the number of Trump supporters I live around. Essentially everyone around me believes the election was stolen and have been fired up since the last election. Even if Trump loses, I think there will be another Jan 6th, or something along the lines of that.

      These people are brainwashed super supporters and a danger to Democracy.
