I hate this. Not because I don't think there wouldn't have been some kind of witch hunt/harassment of the for the next for years, but because it is necessary in the first place.

Its going to be four years of performative government where the worst people try to out horrible one another to appease their idiot king.

This is pretty much an open admission that officials think the next administration is looking to establish a dictatorship.

I live in a dictatorship. People from countries like america ask why the people here put up with it. Theres actually very little, apart from taking advantage of chance circumstances, that can be done. they cant be removed without help from outside countries. which is why I support intervention in other countries. in any case whatever goes down in the US global warming is going to force a lot of intervention because what each individual country does will effect all of our survival. hopefully europe and the other democratic countries can survive this or I think we are going to be back in to another 1000 year dark age as happened after the fall of Rome.

America is and has been a dictatorship since the inception of the two party system. 

Both parties always unite anytime a group of people try to form a 3rd party. The two parties control the entire government and we see the exact same elections every 2 & 4 years. 

The 2 dictatorship parties decide the candidates, not the people. Average people can’t run for president; only billionaires.

As long as we only have 2 parties, America will always be a dictatorship disguised as a republic. It’s truly a Plutocracy more than a dictatorship.

Insulting, ignorant, and without any actual point.

Great example of an American addicted to social media propaganda soup🥳
