    It will not be the end of democracy. Have will learned nothing from 2020? We don’t need to create more mistrust. Stability is far more important.

      So then you voted for Harris. Nothing makes things less stable than an administration from the opposition party taking over.

        I’m frankly pretty concerned that people on both sides are ready to reject a democratically elected leader.

        I don’t support Harris but I’ll respect the election. At the end of the day we are ruled by democracy.

          Nope, sorry. I can respect the process of election while also criticizing the man that got elected. Trump is a naked fascist, and Bannon just said as much - on his daily podcast, he all but said “we lied directly to your fucking faces when we said Trump didn’t have involvement or know anything about Project 2025”, and now we’re going to get every last thing that’s outlined in there. Every arm of government has a GOP majority who either owes their success to Trump or is massively already on his side. The checks and balances got swept away, and there is literally nothing, short of states just saying “no” (take a guess how long that’ll work) for Trump to implement anything he wants.

          On top of that, SCOTUS already ruled “certain acts” (unspecified) are totally legal if the President does them, so expect to see that tested as to whether it extends to orders given to military, law enforcement, and executive orders that are explicitly illegal or unconstitutional.

          Trump and his allies all but said they’d rip up the Constitution. When a person shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
