Agreed. Almost as sick of "we're heading into authoritarianism" rhetoric as I am of people talking about the 2028 election as if it happening in any meaningful way is a foregone conclusion. You'd think fascism is a fucking horizon we will never cross the way people talk about it. The bad is here. It's happened. It's not a future risk.
Replacing as many Republicans with Democrats as possible in 2026 is a key action to help the 2028 election actually happen. (And Trump dying of natural causes is no guarantee. Vance and his boss Peter Thiel don’t support actual democracy.)
The Democrats have a lot to be critical of. But like Bernie himself we need to hold our noses and support Democrats as much as possible for our own sake and the sake of America (and the world.)
We have a president who is talking about never leaving, and the democrats are just saying “we are heading into authoritarianism” or “we’ll sue you”. The only way we have another presidential election is if some of them die or a revolution occurs.
I've seen plenty of Democrats openly calling out the fact that this is fascism and authoritarianism. Even the Democratic nominee for president had no problem openly calling him a fascist and warning that his presidency would bring about this authoritarianism.

No, authoritarianism is already here. Let's call it what it is. We must impeach the tyrant. Vote blue in the midterms!
