The biggest danger of a Democratic presidency is that people will pay less attention to politics now that someone more competent and less authoritarian is in charge. This is part of the reason why Obama was able to expand the government’s surveillance powers, kill hundreds of civilians (some of whom were American) in drone strikes, intervene in Libya only to produce a failed state, deport more immigrants than any president before him, etc. And just because Trump has been fired doesn’t mean fascism has disappeared off the streets or even from the government. What do you think those Q-Anon people are going to do now? Two of them were arrested just recently for a plot to attack the Pennsylvania Convention Center in an effort to suppress the vote count.
Lots of people have no choice but to plug into politics, because it can literally be life or death. You have a responsibility to pay attention and fight for freedom in whatever way you can, no matter who wins the presidency. Hopefully in ways that aren’t confined to electoral politics.
Don’t be like this:
