    The other interpretation of the “won’t have to vote again” comment is that he meant “vote on the issues that you care about” (because he would fix them). That does feel more plausible than intentionally telling people “I plan to confiscate your vote”.

    But sure, I agree that a ton of people at least don’t care. Particularly young people, unfortunately. But that’s not just America, that’s worldwide. I blame education, ignorance of history. With humans it’s always two steps forward, one step back. We have to keep making the same mistake. It’s a cycle, philosophers were already noticing in ancient Greece. Well, it seems the wars of the 20th century against dictatorship are already forgotten and now we’re going to make the same mistake again.

      Of course, everything can be given a different interpretation, but what he literally said is there.

      You can also think if the confederates just wanted more power for the states or if the Nazis just wanted to recover German pride, But neither the South politicians nor those of Germany from the thirties, normally receive the benefit of the doubt, why should the MAGA?
