Defeatist Doomerism proclaiming with certainty that Trump will remain in office for a third term, will cancel elections, will implement nationwide martial law (all physically impossible) does nothing to help us face and fight the actual atrocities occuring daily.

Defeatist Doomerism helps the fascists by demoralizing those who would rise up against this fascist regime.

We must never forget this one absolute truth:

Trump is NOT omnipotent, and the states and the people are NOT powerless
