... and the more I think about it, the more I hate it, and it makes me concerned not just for who that might be (it could be much worse than Harris) but of what they might do after the election, presuming they win. We could even potentially end up trading the threat of one autocracy for the reality of another, just arguably somewhat less bad, one.

that autocracy is coming one way or the other since both democrats and republicans have been enacting recommendations from project 2025 since 1980 and will continue to do so, so long as we continue vote for either a democrat or republican.

worrying about it is not going to change anything and proselytizing for leftist views doesn't help much either in this country; but it's better than nothing and i find that it helps me cope.
