Never in recorded history have authoritarians ceded power without violence. Ever.

um, we can't even get people to do something as simple as stop using X

then he takes all those billions and further funds the alt-right

democracy is pretty much done even if Dems get the Senate

actually he may stomp on the accelerator pedal if the Senate does shift

btw it's not "many" only a very few countries have done that

we're literally one Supreme Court justice away from the country becoming the christian taliban

capitalism doesn't need democracy, MANY countries prove that, they even prefer knowing who to bribe to get exactly what they want

For real? You still have feudal titles and a monarch. In your land some humans are literally created as more human than others. Your government literally asks the monarch for permission to do democracy. But you'll lecture Americans on throwing off the strong man.

We have a judiciary actually

That would only work if we agreed on what a replacement regime would look like. Faith in our regime is low, but the 'revolutionary' replacements are the DSA on one side, who mean well but are unbelievably naive[0] and on the other... Idk ancap wignats or something? Before the people equipped to put that amendment to use do so, I think there needs to be some sort of idea of what they're fighting for. There's a lot of stuff about how we gotta fight for democracy, but it's democracy itself that got us here.

One might point out the yale study that shows we don't have democracy, but if that's true, idk how one would implement a democracy that doesn't get co-opted the way ours has. Most of the ideas I see are not actually democratic. There's a lotof "well, democracy would work if only people / ideas that agree with my correct political views should be allowed to power" which isn't democracy, it's authoritarianism. Plato established a long time ago that benevolent authoritarianism is preferable to democracy, but the problem is humans aren't really good at implementing it. When authoritarians of any ilk get power, they tend to step on someone, no matter how good their intentions are.

If going by POTUS that would also be the GOP!

Just having some fun eh

Studies I found say team blue. But also suggest they are flawed, not national, and racist. Thoughts?

Slightly higher marriage rates, balanced out by higher divorce rates.

> Secondly, I'm pretty certain Republicans have way higher marriage rates and higher rates of having children.

There has not been said it attracts only incels so no contradiction. Both claims could hold.

Don’t worry jokes don’t last long here

There does seem to be an abnormal amount of child predators in the GOP. Could be their overlap with Christian institutions which are also historically known to protect child predators.
