I was specifically talking about claims that Trump is going to end democracy though. There wouldn't be elections in four years, that's a moot point.
By what the hell happened I mean what happened to those claims? Did people not believe then, or are they resigned to the election results meaning we just accept the end of democracy?

If I revolt against the government that is 100% breaking democracy. If I wait and see what the next admin does, that is maybe 50% (fake numbers) likely to break democracy. You can think DJT is bad for democracy and also think it is more bad to try to toss out an election he won.

If you're revolting because democracy is already lost, or the loss is imminent, you weren't breaking it. > You can think DJT is bad for democracy and also think it is more bad to try to toss out an election he won. Not if you truly believe democracy is doomed with his election. I don't believe that, but if someone does I don't see how waiting for it to happen helps.
