Comment on So, is the USA screwed?
Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 3 days agoUntil November 2024, there was actually a good chance for Trump’s plans to be foiled. But yeah, after that the case’s been quite clear. Those were the last presidential elections of USA. Or, at least the last ones were the votes matter.

Pfft, this is almost hilariously naive. Unless you think Kamala Harris seriously had a chance of winning an 80%+ landslide victory, Trump’s election was determined when our Supreme Court made a clearly partisan ruling declaring Trump was an untouchable king. At that moment, it became clear that any contested election would be resolved by the SC in Trump’s favor, ala Bush v Gore in 2000.
I’m as disappointed as anyone else that he won cleanly, but Trump was inevitable. He’s been inevitable for decades. No country becomes fascist overnight, the American people have been voting towards this outcome since before I was born.
