[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4730888, member: 66082"] how can everyone not fear a sitting US president trying to over turn an election where he received less that 47% of the popular vote. Over 53% of American voters did not vote for trump to be president. Him staying in office after receiving over 7million fewer votes than Biden is incredibly radical and dangerous, if we allow politicians who lose elections to force themselves to stay in office. It really is the whole ballgame for representative government. I believe millions of American voters don’t fear real political power being used illegally as much as they fear black Americans protesting police hurting black Americans and drowning American cities in crime, they fear muslims instituting sharia law, they fear Mexican immigrants taking over and killing them, they fear the NYTimes or the Washington post, or cancel culture, they fear the 1619 project, they fear, critical race theory, they fear being silenced on social media for being called a racist. So many of things and people they fear have very little actual political or financial power. I don’t know where America is headed with republicans openly trying to steal elections, but nearly 80% of our history is not having full participation by all Americans in the political process. Our history is almost entirely of suppressing and eliminating huge swaths of the populace from the political process. [/QUOTE]
