I had a long conversation yesterday with another very vocal Democratic party friend. She has...I guess the kindest way to put it...a very negative view of her fellow average American.
Her concern is that although trump has the popularity of a slug, is slimey enough to do whatever he can to "fix" it so he will come out on top over Biden and Harris.
Now let's hypothetically say he will..i.e screw the post office over completely or do other draconian measures to make sure he wins.
Where her and I disagree is what would happen if this would occur. Her position is that most Americans are so apathetic they would not do anything to change this outcome. That the majority of people would sit back and take it.
I disagree. I think that trump has screwed over so many groups of people that if he attempts something and declares himself the winner that people would rise up...with massive protests, lawsuits, work stoppages etc., that he would be forced to step down.
So the basic disagreement was...how apathetic is your average American. Obviously the group of folks on Kos are not representing the usual population...i am sure we would revolt but what do you think John W. Public would do?
