Turns out that if you put an authoritarian in power once, it's pretty difficulty to get rid of them -- and it gets exponentially more difficult the longer they stay. Imagine trying to ask DT to leave the presidency in 2024 after 8 years, had he won the 2020 election

The 2020 election was a referendum on autocracy, period. And because almost 4 years passed since the January 2017 inauguration, it will take a bit more than an election to move on -- but it's still entirely doable at this stage

I think this speaks highly to the robustness of American democracy. Many democracies would not survive a single term with a wannabe autocrat in charge.
