    We can’t rely on voting. This person and many like him are inhuman and hateful and that right there should disqualify you from holding office, period.

    Voting is just being able to influence panicky, problematic, fearful people to get hateful people to win. Nothing is going to be fixed in the long run if we keep allowing these people to hold office. We need a set standard for people that have respect, intelligence, dignity, and compassion for human beings of all kinds to be able to hold office. Voting is just going to make things worse and even if it happens to temporarily fix things, it will eventually swing back the other way.

    This country is just inviting fascism by letting the common person have a say in how things are ran.

      Not letting the “common man” have a say in how the country is ran FUCKING IS one tenant of fascism.

      You seem to have a major infestation of brainworms going on.

      Ok, so only uncommon people get to vote. Trans people, neurodiverse people, lefties, redheads, little people, anyone with a vestigial tail. Sounds interesting.

      Or we should severely limit the power of the President.

      In the long run, voting system has to be reformed to allow more independent candidates, indeed.

      But first we should make sure people like Trump, even if they rose to power, couldn’t do damage to the rights of the people.
