When people gain power after telling you they want to steal elections, drive out minorities, prosecute their enemies, you should take them seriously and you should be very very concerned. Weather or not they succeed, you should speak out against it.

And I'm not interested in some intellectual debate on the lefts musing about jailing Trump at this time. He is literally an unindicted conspirator in a crime that has been successfully committed, and the trust of the debate is not about if he is a criminal, it is about weather it is too politically dangerous to convict him of crimes not only everyone knows he has committed but at times he has publicly admitted to committing. And comparisons would be tiresome.

Also not interested in engaging with the rights fantasies about the left trying to steel the election, allegations of defrauding American voters are virtually none existent on a scale sufficient to steal even the 2000 election, and where the do exist they are almost exclusively on behalf of republicans. The projection is getting a little embarrassing.

Finally social infrastructure does not equate to the 1 party oppressive regimes of 20th century eastern Europe. You aren't being oppressed when a duly elected government taxes you to build roads are something. Comparing that to the guys who want to vilify and lock up minorities is just a little silly.

I'm not at all sure what you are trying to say here. Am I sick of Trump? Yes. I have been for four years.
