Everyone should vote like democracy is on the ballot, because it absolutely is.
If the Orange Menace somehow wins, I think one of the following outcomes will happen during his tenure;
1. He and his craven minions completely stack the courts, remove all of the checks and balances on his power and dismantle the levers of democracy (i.e. complete state and federal gerrymandering, de facto voter (Democratic voter...) disenfranchisement), allowing him to become a dictator with the guise of being legal, or
2. He actually declares himself "king" or "supreme ruler" or something like that, for life, and his minions in the house, the senate, and on SCOTUS just let him do it.
I think they're equally likely but I'm sure one of them WILL happen. Not a chance it's business as usual and they allow a free and fair eelection in 2028. Not a chance.
