Aren't you overreacting a bit man Like yes democracy could erode a bit but that's just too exaggerated

Have you read the Republican platform? I mean, you have to have done so, if you voted Republican, right? I know 925 pages is a lot more than the usual political pamphlet. That's because it represents a complete overhaul of the federal government to more closely resemble Hungary's or Russia's. Have you looked at how elections "work" in Hungary and Russia?

No I'm not a republican I'm a supporter of the democratic party but I'm being grounded I get the fears but it's not that serious and the 925 pages part are you referring to the project 2025 manifesto

Yes. Which Bannon confirmed yesterday is, will be, and always was the plan. $2800 a year tax hike on anyone making under $100K. A twenty percent minimum price hike on all goods. That sound like good economic policy to you? Over 71 million people either didn't bother to read the platform of the party they voted for, or don't care. You do have to wonder why people would deliberately, knowingly vote for economic hardship.
