Four years ago, a sitting president — rejected by American voters — attempted to seize a second term anyway, plunging the nation into confusion, conflict and, in its last gasp, violence.

Now, Donald Trump’s political comeback has revived a sense of dread among the officials and institutions who stood in his way last time: Could it happen again?

    What’s the point of saying shit like that? Are you implying we should just let him win and sacrifice democracy to fascism in some cowardly attempt to avoid violence?

    I say if the fascists want a war, fucking bring it on and we can crush them again.

      Just a heads up. A lot of people like to hide their head in the sand and say it won’t happen here. And then when shit does happen they’re surprised and they’re not ready. The same sort of thing happened in Germany and look what happened. So people need to realize that the shit’s about to hit the fan.
