You're probably right. Most of us in non-vulnerable communities, generally speaking, will be mostly fine. But we're banking on Trump being an incompetent liar, correct? I posted this in another thread, but it fits here:
I get it, man. We're all blowing this "threat to democracy" thing out of proportion, and maybe none of our fears will transpire if Trump is reelected (you know, just like Dobbs). But, for that to be the case, you have to believe one of three things:
1) Trump doesn't mean, or is lying, about virtually everything he says. Because he blatantly says anti-Democratic shit every day. So nothing be says should be taken at face value. Who gets to decide what he does mean?
2) Trump and co. are too incompetent to carry out any of their radical agenda. Cool, sounds like someone who should be given the Presidency again with nothing but his sycophants this time at his side.
3) We have checks and balances in place to restrain his more competent attempts at fascist tendencies. Why the fuck do we have to keep testing our system to the absolute limit to see what breaks?
