Please let’s all remember that Hitler, Mussolini, and Arafat all went into office as winners of legitimate elections. Of course two of them then decided that future elections were a needless distraction.
In 1933, as Roosevelt took office, he was confronted not only by the Depression, but by a landscape of dictators. Much of Europe, the industrial portions of East Asia, much of South America, Turkey and the Soviet Union. For a time, only the U.K., Canada, and on good days, Mexico were reliable democratic partners. There were many in the U.S. government who were convinced that had Hoover served a second term, a fascist takeover awaited this country.
In other words, things have been far worse in this country. If we rally behind this election, if we all work hard to turn out Biden voters, if we keep the Senate and win the House, we can put another four years into restoring decent government.
Let’s all commit to organized calling, texting, door-knocking—and if we can, small donations—toward this end.
We have to aim our efforts toward the half-dozen or so states that will make the difference.
