America is already fascist regardless of who the president is. Liberals are really afraid that Trump is going to usher in some kind of new regime where he bans elections or whatever. Yeah if he had that kind of clout and power he would have done it already. Capital would have already done this if it's what they wanted.

Capital doesn't need to. The country is already run by cops and money. There's nothing left to conquer and no leftist opposition to crush.

100-com stalin-point this is it right here. Libs are afraid of something they don't understand has already happened

yeah that's the other thing, they think Trump is gonna suspend elections? Our elections don't matter and even if Trump tried that he'd probably piss off absolutely everyone. He's Donald Trump, the laziest man alive. He's not going to do anything that would require actual coordination and planning. And anyone he hires is going to be too concerned with their career and book deals to give a shit about creating the New Conservative American Empire or whatever the fuck liberals think will happen. Trump couldn't even get his own vice-president, whose career is basically over, to do a ceremonial coup

Exactly. I have no clue what it is that libs are imaging will happen. We know exactly what Trump will do as president because it already happened. It'll be like that. Things will get worse, excactly like they will if Biden is re-elected.
