    While I agree that Harris would have probably just delayed the entire thing, I disagree that this is a bad thing. Any time not spent under fascist rule is good time. Considering the massive amounts of damage Trump has wrought outside the US, he was definitely the worse option.

      If fascism is inevitable, isn’t it better for the fascist strongman to be fat, old, and stupid?

      He’s worse than a Democrat. Harris wouldn’t be blowing up Venezuelan fishermen, after all. But, it could be worse still if we had managed to avoid Trump and then we got a healthy, young, cunning fascist in four years. Trump is actually the lesser evil compared to the fascists that were possible in the next decade.

        This fat, old and stupid strongman inspires more loyalty and has a stronger cult of personality than his replacement.

        And imma be honest. I think every year not spent under fascists is a good year.

        But who knows, maybe this is for the best lol. At least this scared Canada and Australia into not going fascist.

          That’s my point! He’s not going to survive to some hypothetical third term and the next guy won’t be able to keep his base.
