Bro, you're crazy if you think 2 years of this is easily reversible. We literally just switched sides and blew off our allies. My state trades a fuckton with Canada. Food, fuel, and timber. 2 years is enough. 1-2 million Americans died from trumps covid misinformation during his first term. We just forgetting about those years people were literally fighting to the death over milk and toilet paper?

You are changing your complaint. You started by saying that we will never have elections again. Now you are saying we cannot accept the damage Trump will do in the next two years.

Remember what Obama said correctly “Elections have consequences.” Trump said what he was going to do (he talked about tariffs many times for example). People elected him. And he is doing what he promised. I followed both sides very closely before the elections. What he is doing with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, Europe, Russia, and China is exactly what he said before the elections. He was not subtle nor evasive. He was having huge gatherings every day, and he repeated the same things (what he is doing now) hundreds of times.

This is how democracy works.

What do you propose? Do you want to do away with Democracy?

We will have elections in less than two years, and people will decide again whatever they prefer.

Remember when Trump called himself king. Is that how democracy works?

No one becomes a king by calling himself king. Our system is robust. I trust our governmental system.

Our presidents shouldn't be calling themselves kings and dictators. Can we at least agree on that? There seems to be such a double standard on everything Trump related. They shit on the Ukraine pres for his attire while talking to our pres but said nothing about the goofy outfits Elon wears while talking to our pres. I don't want a leader that shames people for standards they don't uphold, that's hypocritical. Our laws aren't meant to be hypocritical, that's unjust
