    Tbh that’s something I’m afraid of. That Biden will win this year, but Trump will keep running until the end of time (which is when he either wins and becomes dictator, or dies)

    I’m also afraid he will never die, and I think he will, but sometimes I still think there’s a monster under the bed that’s gonna eat my toes and I can’t fight that with logic.

      Sorry, but it’s far worse than that. Trump is mostly a symptom - he is also a cause to be sure, but mostly he is a symptom of other underlying issues. Putin being one of the prime ones there. i.e., the puppet is replaceable, the forces behind the mask not so much.

      The only thing required for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.

      But they did not, and now I am not certain that this fight is even winnable (although it’s not entirely over yet!:-D).
