    Trump was not an unknown quantity. He was elected back then precisely because he is exactly what the fascist republican party wanted then and continues to want now. And because people underestimated his chances.

    Ignoring the danger he poses now because “people surely know better” is insane. January 6th and everything that lead to it happened after 4 years of that man’s bungling administration and you want to believe that everything is going to be fine?

    Be optimistic if he loses. If he wins, the country is fucked. If he loses, his base is likely to employ violence. Either way, its probably not going to be a fun time.
