    Once the normal transition of power is not followed its game over for our democracy.

    Once people who’ve sworn to end democracy are given the power to end democracy, then it’s game over for democracy.

    Preventing a corrupt criminal who’s a known agent of a hostile foreign powers from becoming president is a healthy thing to do.

        Unless the democracy has systemic flaws that allow it to be captured by minority rule, and that minority voting block disenfranchises enough of the opposition to take all power from the majority.

        This wasn’t a democracy in anything more than name before the election.

      As would be preventing officials voted into office in a democracy but sooner. There is still a chance as of now as he has not stopped elections yet.

        nah, it’s over. It was gg for elections in November, and so many people like you didn’t realize this. It’s to late to prevent this. All we can do now is rebuild.
