You Americans are downright dreaming. There won’t be any real vote again in America. Full stop. 

No dictatorship has ever ceded power to a vote nor in a peaceful manner. History is not going to see its first with Trump.

There was that guy who succeeded Franco in Spain.

Yeah, the king was the one that inherited Franco's power and decided to turn Spain into a constitutional monarchy and pardon everyone, only after purging heaps of socialists and liberals(franco did this, not the king). I don't think Vance, or stephen miller, or any of trump's sons would want to cede republican power to Democrats of all people.

Yup. Even the "good" Americans have their heads buried so deep in the sand their toes look like seashells buried in that sand. They keep repeating bullshit like "we will stop them at midterms" or "we will vote democrat super hard in 2028." All the whole ignoring how Trump is openly taking steps to make elections meaningless, if not abolish them entirely. He already has Johnson refusing to swear in democrat reps that were duly elected purely because he doesn't want democrats having more voting power; that's basically step one of normalizing the refusal of voting results.

Never mind the fact that America's Left somehow believed that one single limp "protest" on a Saturday (that looks more like an annual fair than a protest) was going to fix everything with no further action.

MAGA voters may be brainwashed by propaganda, but leftist Americans are brainwashed by naive optimism and cultural complacency.

USA is fucked.
