Everyone having doubts, just wait until it’s time for the new presidential election, and see if power will be given up willingly.

Hopefully old man won’t be around that long

Is this common belief grounded in reality? We're well past the notion that the "old man" (and his VP, as well as most, if not all of his cabinet) believes in the law and he has stacked the deck in his favor.

  • To beat a dead horse, propaganda works. And it's so much more pervasive than an occasional misleading message.

    Millions in the U.S. get "information" from a firehose of propaganda.

    That defines the reality they see. Others perhaps just feel hopeless but... want to believe that our constitutional democracy somehow manages to hold on and rebound.

    • It is exhausting and frustrating. What level of evidence is required here? And why? It's not unlike the article. Do we need to wait around for firing squads or something? What does it take for people to wake up?
