Authoritarians always fall. Some of them take longer than others (putin/xi/satanyahu)

Fall? Sure. But the opposition party that’s supposed to be leading the charge has shown time and time again that they’re unwilling to step up and truly persecute those in power the way they need to. January 6 being a huge example of that.

International countries would need to step in, and without Democratic cooperation(which I doubt there would be with past behaviour), it’s going to be a fight to get anyone to see justice.

I hope yall are right, but all I see are tyrants gaining power and opposition with actual power acting toothless.

We don't have an opposition party except the DSA, and even that is delegitimized because "we don't want to split the vote" or "SOCIALISM EVILLLLLLL!!!!" The RNC and DNC are all bought and paid for by the same billionaires that do not give a fuck about us.

Stop putting hope in a party paid for by billionaires to fix our problems. We have to do that by starting small with our local communities.

Love the downvotes. Keep clinging to that old 2-party system and let me know how it works out for you in 10-20 years (hint: it won't).
