Can you elaborate on how the US has lost its democracy? The democracy voted him in, in 4 years it will vote someone else in. Unless you genuinely believe that Trump has any power to change that.
That’s an insult to democracies everywhere. You can’t seriously draw a comparison between the US today and pre-hitler Germany. Not all democracies are equal, as modern-day Russia proves.
He has stated he will be a dictator. The Senate flipped Republican and there is a good chance the house will too.
With total control of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, all they have to do is repeal the filibuster (very easy), and they have complete unchecked control.
They will obviously start with things that are not as bad, but they’re not going to want to give up their power, and in 2 years there is a zero percent chance elections will be held democratically. They might appear democratic, but they’ll resemble “elections” in Russia.
So removing the filibuster 1. Can’t happen while the filibuster is in place (because the left could just filibuster) and 2. Was a major pushing point for the left not more than 2 years ago. You either have no real knowledge of how the government works or think every American other than you has literal brain damage if you think that our system allows for such a radical change in 2 years. This “democracy is over” rhetoric has been said almost every 4 years like clockwork. If you think that the country is in a worse place now than it was in the Great Depression and WW2 you are delusional. I dislike Trump and voted for Kamala, because I can’t stand stupid. Trump isn’t Hitler. He’s his own type of shit, but nowhere near as bad. It is fair to say that you think the country will be worse off with Trump as lead. But you have exaggerated it so much you look like a bigger clown than he is.
I honestly believe that he will manufacture an event (civil war, massive civil unrest, etc.) in order to declare martial law and suspend elections before his term is up. He might also extend term limits, and make it possible to serve more than two terms. Any elections after that will likely be just for show, like in Russia.

I dunno, maybe democracy should have some limits like not allowing convicted Charleses Mansons with genocide in their agenda participate.
Do you know Germany was democratic until they voted for Hitler?
