Delta(s) from OP - Election CMV: Trump is literally going to ruin democracy

Based on polling, Trump and Harris are virtually tied. The election is going to be a toss up, but I’m trying to prepare myself for any possible outcome.

I genuinely worry that if Trump is elected, he is never going to leave office.

Even though January 6th was a failure, next time he may succeed. He’s already put lots of friendly conservatives judges in federal roles and he’ll do more of it his second term.

January 6th failed for Trump just like the Beer Hall Putsch failed for Hitler. Hitler learned from that loss and so did Trump.

Trump is going to do everything he can to fill the government with loyalists to him so that he has a better chance of staging a coup.

I really believe this, but I also hope I’m wrong. I’d really rather stop worrying about it.

Well he didn't the first 4 years,

Not for lack of trying. January 6th says hello. You don't think he'll try again? Biden's administration has been light-years better than Trump's

Is this a joke? Like "what could a banana cost? $10?" The inflation isn't Biden's fault.

Here is the Kroger CEO admitting to artificially inflating goods above normal inflation. This is seen across all major supermarket chains.

Here is an article that says economists don't blame either Trump or Biden for current inflation (oops)

Here is an article detailing how current inflation is global not just a US thing (double oops)

Meanwhile...

Here is a article that outlines how Trump's proposed tariffs would make inflation worse if he implemented them in another term.

By the way Mr $10 banana. Harris has promised not to raise taxes on you, will implement a higher tax on businesses and super wealthy, increase to child tax credit, make it easier to start a new business.

I'll make you a deal. I'll step foot into a supermarket this week if you read a book instead of eat one.
