    He is a fucking traitor. We have literally executed people in this country for the same crimes he is alleged to have committed. Ignoring that really serves to undermine the severity of the situation.

          Authoritarians do not leave office over something trivial like losing a vote. Or have you just not been paying attention to history at all?

          If Trump gets in again, Republicans won’t be losing power through vote again.

            Don’t be pedantic. I was clarifying what the previous poster meant by their comment since it was kind of nebulous.

            I’m fully aware of the dangers of authoritarianism historically, presently, and in the future.

              I would infer it as the “peasants revolt” using farm instruments instead of purposely design weapons if war to defend you and yours, and to overthrow tyrants.

                I realize that now. It was more the “tradition” part that had me confused. Either way, appreciate the more friendly explanation 😉

              Then why any confusion on pitchforks? If authoritarians take over …

              T00l_shed gets it.

        I’m not sure a pitchfork is going to do anything if he succeeds in the way you are implying. You’re gonna want a gun.
