The boot is already coming down on democracy. You're only concerned if we get to the point where Trump actually refuses to leave office?
I mean, what the fuck?

Everyone knows illegal voting is nonsense. His own commission on it was quickly disbanded. The lifetime presidency thing is silly. Nobody is going to allow anyone, particularly this buffoon, to be lifetime president.
DOJ and voting law concerns are quite valid. But would things be any different under any other Republican?
This a typical Republican administration. The only thing Trump adds to the mix is bizarre pronouncements and grand-standing events like his "Dinner with Kim."
Trump is too much Trump to ever be a real threat to Democracy. If there are any threats to democracy emerging right now they're coming from the people behind the scenes -- the civil war within the Establishment. That same old civil war we've had going from the dawn of the two party system.
