Democracy supporters have to win every single time, while the fascists only have to win once. This is not a sustainable situation. We have to do what is necessary in a way that's a lot more permanent than just winning an election.
So what, at you going to start the ~~french~~ US revolution? That seems like a extreme idea that probably won't end well.
The US is a democracy. There is no threat outside of the fake information spread by US adversaries. Even if the worse president is elected there still little danger because of the balance of power.
Don't believe me? Look at the past. The supreme court and congress has put the executive branch in its place before. There is not more danger now than there was centuries ago. The US system is far from perfect but it is well proven.
The SC betrayed democracy with Citizens United and again when they gave Trump immunity for his countless crimes while in office. Don't forget that the SC openly take bribes from billionaires.
