As a Democrat this article is scaring the crap out of me

I really don't know how things are going to turn out. I was actually pretty optimistic before Hamas and Israel decided to go civilian slaughtering and creating a no-win situation. I can't understand how independents would vote for a party that is displaying such an authoritarian streak. But, I honestly thought Trump would have won reelection in 2020 if he didn't bungle the covid response so hard. I'm still bit even sure he will be able to run in the general still if he gets a guilty verdict on the federal charges.

The whole damn system's a mess right now. At a time when we really need to continue pushing forward. Despite the middle east crisis, Biden's administration has been doing a hell of a lot better than I ever expected. Focusing the IRS on going after high income tax dodgers, the FTC actually doing their job and challenging corporate mergers, showing up in support of unions, at least attempting to help with the student debt crisis, managing to (so far) avoid an economic collapse that was expected due a mixture of cheap debt and covid related supply line issues. So many things are being pushed into the right tracks and we're going to have it slip through our fingers.
