“Next year, America goes to the polls. Donald Trump is running for president while under criminal indictment,” interviewer Beth Rigby said. “This, the man who back in 2016 consistently accused you of law-breaking and actively encouraged chats of ‘lock her up,’ directed at you. It’s pretty ironic, isn’t it, that he’s now a former president that could face a jail term. How does it make you feel?”
Buddy just because something is very bad doesn't mean it can't get even worse. This is you falling for fatalism dawg
I literally said it's going to get worse. It is getting worse anyway. We're not living under an administration where all of the things you are worried about did not already get materially worse. Trump wins, it gets worse. Neolib Dem, biden or other wins, it gets worse. There's no "if we elect the Democrat it won't get so bad" path here and Im astounded that after all I know you've witnessed and all I've seen you post your opinion still flips back to that position anyway
It's a tiresome false equivalence, and yes, fatalism, to claim that a horrible administration is already rock bottom and nothing can, will, or even could change for the worse. It didn't help that it started in a condescending "buddy, dawg" dunk.
Believe what you will, but I'm done with this reply chain.

Can we all just chill? Clearly y'all have different communication styles and that is okay.
I'm not your buddy, pal, and I'm not your pal, friend!
I dunno though. Maybe Biden or Clinton would do all the same bad things but more slowly and less openly. Or maybe they would just be more competent and therefore worse. If Trump wins then certain people might feel like now is the time to ramp up the fascism. Or maybe Trump loosing would actually cause a much more destructive backlash. So while I get the desperate want to have some kind of harm reduction I feel very pessimistic and I don't want to just shrug and say fatalism is the answer but the idea that a Clinton or Biden would be better angers me.
We're all scared and unsure of how things will pan out so if I'm wrong or a dork I don't mind discussing it but I don't wanna be mean to people on here since we're pretty much all on the same side (except for the cat thing).
