      Barring a violent revolt, there’s really no acceptable way to deny a transition of power after the electorate has voted for it, even when the president-elect is clearly this malicious.

      Allowing? We voted for it to happen. This is literally what 50% of the country wants.

        Over 50% of those who voted. ~30℅ of the electorate, less than 25% of citizens. Don’t give him more than he’s earned.

            Yeah, but it’s baffling why they would. It’s one thing to enable people who increase their personal wealth and power, but we’re seeing the beginnings of a complete fascist takeover. There’s no world where they’re safe if trump puts himself in a position where he can punish anyone with impunity, because he views even the smallest slights as a declaration of war. Everyone will eventually find themselves on the wrong side of that list. We’ve seen it throughout history.
