At this point, with it now being widely reported that Trump does plan on running in 2024, it feels at least a little bit safer to assume that he plans on leaving office. But of course, Donald Trump is going to bend the American institutions to the

breaking point in his last ditch efforts to cling to power anyways, with his campaign putting pressure on Republican legislators in critical states to appoint a brand new slate of pro-Trump electors in an effort to steal the electoral college vote.

Donald Trump in all likelihood might just be using these attempts as a means to delay the inevitable for as long as possible, rake in money from his rabid base in order to pay off his campaign debts, and possibly secure a deal for his

to accept that while it is possible for a fascist to be voted out, that doesn’t mean fascism itself has gone with it?
GOP legislators in states like Pennsylvania may not be willing to bend to Donald Trump’s will this time around, but what
