    Every single one, some large contingency of neoliberals pulls out ol’ reliable and claims their opponent will end democracy.

    No, most have said that other elections are important, because voting is important and people need to get out to vote in order for their voice to be heard.

    Now that Trump has broadcasted his racism, bigotry, hatred, and a thousand other things that would single-handedly end a campaign, including raping his wife, raping a 14-year-old, giving top secret info to Putin which got federal agents killed, hoarding boxes and boxes of top secret documents, and sooo many fucking other things that would take 20 pages to list. Now that he’s broadcasted all of that, and the propaganda networks that his base watch has filtered everything so well that none of his base actually give a shit, the GOP now has no reason to hide behind their real goals: dismantle government so absolutely that nobody would ever be able to repair it again.

    If Trump is elected, it would not take long for that Reichstag fire event to happen that would solidify their position in power.

    The rich have no interest in a dictatorship, and they set the rules.

    “I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” – Grover Norquist

    The rich don’t want a dictatorship. They want anarcho-capitalism, a corporatocracy, a kleptocracy, or any sort of similar concept that would give corporations ultimate power to do whatever the fuck they want, despite the objections or ignorance of the people. That sorta kinda isn’t a democracy.

    Or they’ll still settle on a dictatorship, as long as they get to pull the strings in enough directions.

    The current oligarchy wherein both candidates essentially do the same thing is by far the most profitable arrangement, so it will continue.

    That’s a nice false equivalency you got there. BSABSVR, ammirite?

    There’s only one side that consistently pushes their agenda for the rich and powerful.
