While i dont think Democracy will end under Trump, it is manifestly not obvious that it won't.
The president-elect literally floated the idea that his voters wont ever have to vote again if he won.
- blisterpeanuts 2y agoThis was clarified on Snopes; he was referring to groups such as fundamentalist Christians who rarely vote, urging them to come out this one time and vote. Not very eloquently worded, perhaps, but certainly his intent, as explained by spokespeople and by himself in subsequent interviews, was not to shut down voting.
- tremon 2y agoAnyone trying to make sense of Trump's words has as much credibility to me as people who interpret tea leaves, or the Bible. Judge his actions; trying to divine anything from his words is about as effective as chasing wild geese.
- blisterpeanuts 2y agoI judge every politician by their actions, not their words. In Trump's case, his words are more "salad-like" than most, but his actions generally speak pretty clearly.
- drawkward 2y agoRight, he did incite that attempt to violently overthrow the peaceful transfer of power on Jan 6.
