    Assuming you are talking about who won the US presidential election. Happened 8 years ago too, it wasn’t the end of America then. It won’t be the end of America now.

      8 years ago, the GOP wasn’t crammed with MAGA, the judiciary wasn’t crammed with MAGA, and the executive wasn’t going to be crammed with MAGA.

        Well, by now the Supreme Court has been supplanted and intent to overthrow democracy has been shown. That’s a big difference to last time. So it’s not exactly the same situation.

        But we’ll see how robust American democracy is.

          Yeah, forcing Trump onto the ballot despite the insurrection because congress hadn’t passed a law to enforce the constitution and then making the president a fucking king are a huge difference from 2016. Not to mention Trump appointed jusges throwing out his cases and his 34 felonies not being a sign that he should 't be elected again after his disastrous first term.

          Yeah, this is way worse and the only hope is Republican infighting keeping the worst from happening again.
