One election from democracy’s end

If the Republicans gain a majority in the Congress this year it will lead to the end of democracy as we know it. Trump will become president in 2024 regardless of the vote. Fascism will come to America and death squads will be fashionable, sexy even. There is no doubt right now this will happen. Will California succeed from the union given this? I think it is our only hope. The world’s only hope. We die like the rest or lead to the compassionate future. Now is the time to prepare.
