      Authoritarians do not leave office over something trivial like losing a vote. Or have you just not been paying attention to history at all?

      If Trump gets in again, Republicans won’t be losing power through vote again.

        Don’t be pedantic. I was clarifying what the previous poster meant by their comment since it was kind of nebulous.

        I’m fully aware of the dangers of authoritarianism historically, presently, and in the future.

          I would infer it as the “peasants revolt” using farm instruments instead of purposely design weapons if war to defend you and yours, and to overthrow tyrants.

            I realize that now. It was more the “tradition” part that had me confused. Either way, appreciate the more friendly explanation 😉

          Then why any confusion on pitchforks? If authoritarians take over …
