in other words, we are facing a nascent autocracy with many of the features of a collapsing autocracy. we can win. but we will need to win more than once to consolidate democracy in America. and we will need lockstep partisanship to do so.

What are the odds of lockstep partisanship from the Dems?

If they had another Trump in the pipeline, they'd have run that person. We still do have to do the winning, but they're going to have a lot of power struggles as each faction in the coalition tries to win out in a post-Trump world.

Again the big fear, a Dem unable to win RE-ELECTION not simply election.
