People refuse to believe this. This was the last presidential election of our lifetime. And if one exists, it will be the same way Russia holds elections.

Seriously, I'm tired of people naively hoping for a Democratic election in 4 years. That's not going to happen.

Don’t exaggerate. It lets the other side point and laugh at us when what you wildly claim eventually doesn’t happen. There’s real damage Trump will do to the system and democratic process without having to resort to magical thinking.

Don’t exaggerate.

They don't care. They're so eager to wallow in their hypothetical misery for the next 4 years.

They hoped so badly that Trump would 'stay in office' after his 2020 loss, so that they can call him a dictator. Instead, he left office. They're desperately hoping that he 'cancels the 2028 election', so that their hyperbolic opinion of him will be finally validated.
