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 way you describe American history as "centuries" like we're the Roman Empire or Egypt when we've only got 2.5 centuries to choose from.
Fair but my point still stands. We've been here a long time and though much worse times. (The US civil war comes to mind)
I mean hey you're right, we're still here...but we'd really REALLY like to prevent a second one of those...From the reviews I've read it wasn't a fun time for pretty much anybody involved.
There is no chance of a second civil war. The current "crisis" is artificial and brought on by the media.
