I understand why people say things like this—it’s quite common rhetoric—and Trump II is a horrifying prospect. But referring to one electoral loss, no matter how bad, as “the end” of elections, any vague sort of democracy, etc. is defeatist and false. The fight goes on after November either way. 1/2
I think the idea here is to terrify people into voting and/or other action. Maybe that works for some, but I don’t think saying “we’ll all pretty much die if we lose” is good organizing strategy. Instead set goals that will carry on past Nov and talk about how we’ll keep fighting/protect each other.
