I think most of us -are- pretty terrified already, and we can debate about what should be all day, but it won't change what's happening right now.
Why don't we debate what -should be- next year, and then be active about making it happen before we find ourselves in this position again in 4 years?
If America can't withstand the thuggish authoritarian incompetence of what trump promises, then it is only a waiting game to our inevitable fall to fascism.
Burying our heads in the sand an hoping for the best won't make that inevitable future any less inevitable...
I hope Biden wins, but we're just swirling the drain, we can make it take longer but we're falling in that dark hole.
