Yes, but no.
Our democracy is already hacked. Trump won by cheating. He’s currently, openly, trying to further cheat on the midterms
The system is fucked. You want democracy? It has to be rebuilt. You can’t just continue on after an authoritarian takeover.
So yes, this isn’t very democratic, but we don’t live in a real democracy. If we don’t do what it takes to get rid of the Fascists, it’ll only get worse
No, Trump will get shut down and led around by people like Macron or Newson, and in the moment he’ll get all quiet and meek, but after a while he’ll go back to constantly shit talking them
Trump looks at Putin like he’s in love with him. I don’t know if it’s because he wants to fuck him or wants to be him, maybe both
But Putin doesn’t put Trump in his place, ironically it’s like the Sadam/Satan thing in South Park with the roles reversed. Trump comes out of interactions with him a little dazed and regurgitating Russian propaganda, but smiling. It takes him a few days to realize he’s been played, again
