“Most every campaign cycle, it seems, presidential candidates and political pundits claim this election is the most important one ever. It’s become something of a cliché in American politics. This time, however, they just might be correct.” - from 2012

    Sure but I don’t think we’ve ever had a candidate with so many former hand picked aids warn us about the end of democracy if he’s reelected.

      Midterms are going to be the most important election of our lifetime, 2028 is going to be the most important election of our lifetime. Democrats will forever offer a boogeyman to scare you into keeping them in power.

        I don’t know if we should be assuming those elections will even happen. If Trump wins, then I guess we won’t need to worry about “important elections” ever again. Or any elections for that matter.
