Let's say that this works and Trump is prevented from running. Genocide Joe wins another term. Democracy has prevailed over darkness, norms and civility reigns supreme in the halls of government.

Then what happens?

You still have deteriorating material conditions for people as well as blatant militarism and nationalism, creating fertile soil for fascism. You have a regime made up of the alleged "good guys" who are unwilling and incapable of improving life for the masses, a regime that is adding insult to injury by telling people they're idiots for believing their own lying lived experience over government spreadsheets. And you have a large section of the people who are convinced fascists who have ample reason to believe the election was stolen and that the deep state will never play fair with them. Many of these fascists are in law enforcement and the military.

This can't end well.
