- kelnos 2y agoThe thing that encourages me a bit about the US's situation here is that we're still decentralized enough. I'm not a "state's rights" guy by any means, but it's significant that we have state-run election systems. It's much harder for an authoritarian executive to run sham elections here. But still, I feel like this property only slows down the march toward authoritarianism. It won't stop it.
