Yes, assuming there are more election cycles. I know my partner ( also on the political left) thinks I am paranoid. But I am deeply concerned about their being continuing elections at least at the national level.

I don’t think you are paranoid at all given what we have seen so far. I think not enough Americans are as alarmed as they should be. Those who don’t vote or pay attention because they think it doesn’t matter will be in for a really rude awakening if they don’t wake up.

You’re not paranoid you are going by your gut and that gut knows what’s going on

My husband won't talk about it. He is sticking his head in the sand. Said as much.

It can be hard to have differing opinions about the future of our country within a single family. My daughter and I are on the same page, she in the classroom, me in public. My partner will sometimes protest publicly with me...but not as often as I would like. I guess we all do what we can & hope

That’s not being Paranoid! That’s being alert of the real danger out here! And the danger of this lunatic and his cult followers in government!

I know. I am used to playing Cassandra. I was afraid HRC would not win. He told me I was too anxious. No, not too anxious, I was right. My son in law, who self identifies as a moderate, says he is sure we will come out ok. I think he and I may define "ok" very differently. Authoritarianism - not ok

Americans really need to expand their imagination. It’s obvious where this is headed. It’s been obvious for a long damned time, which is why we keep being proved right. This is where I am. Call them the ESCOTUS. Don’t let a GOP elected official rest—anywhere.

Put Mexican flags on your car if you are white. Annoy the hell out of these people. Video EVERY ICE infraction. Turn all video of any relevance over to the ACLU. Turn your car into a protest sign—24/7 protest anywhere and everywhere. Don’t hide. GET LOUDER.

Your partner, I'm afraid, is not rooted in reality. This is just the dress rehearsal. The show has yet to begin. Remember when Kevin Roberts said the revolution would bloodless if the left permits it? Believe him.

This is why we have to start holding them accountable for their actions.

There will be elections, but as on Russia, they may be for show.
