This would be the worst-case scenario for the future of our democracy and freedom and you can count me out of it. I don't care whos controlling it or what their beliefs are. I will never trust a dictator.

Eh, both sides have their auths

Democrats do not have their authoritarians control their party.

The same cannot be said for the Republicans.

If you want this just vote for desantis.

Just remember,
Under a dictatorship,
Everyone is disposable.

Everyone.

IMO:

A loose confederation, in which the States are bound to defend one another. Whether said states within the Confederation are democratic or no is another matter. States within the confederation should be able to abstain from conflicts abroad, as in avoiding the repeat of the disaster of WW1. Best way to prevent the US from having another civil war or seeing states leave the Union for good.

Granted, the US will slide into dictatorship as Republics have short lifespans. Parties suck, period, and just divide the people into camps. Moral issues, such as slavery or abortion or what have you, are just lighting a match in a powder keg. The decline of religious practice isn't helping, it's just making the crazies crazier.

lol no

The thing is, many people would rather have an authoritarian leader that does what they want than a democratic leader that in doing what everyone wants has to do what the other side wants from time to time.
