      Man, I’m not sure it would help when half the country doesn’t believe Trump tried to overthrow democracy.

        If more than half the country is insane then America is an insane country. The number of insane people seems to be around 35% right now - but if it did get above 50% then, well, we’re fucked. Do we admit America is a failed state or do we form an authoritarian liberal government to steer the population correctly inspite of the popular will.

        That’d be a fucking hard question and I hope we don’t get there - as long as possible I’d like to believe in democracy.

        Nah it would. I’ve spoken to a lot of Republicans that don’t like trump a lot, but feel he best aligns with what they would like the government to do. Giving them a saner option would probably siphon off votes from trump
