I believe that this will be the last free and fair election I'll see in my lifetime.
I am not that pessimistic, my gut feeling is that the US have enough antibodies to fight off the disease and remain democratic.
Remember: we italians are forerunners, we had Berlusconi that was kind of little Trump, and once he was dead (and even before) we did not slipped into parafascist state. When we had Berlusconi, the whole world laughed at us (and they were right), but then the US got his Berlusconi (Trump), the UK got his Berlusconi (Johnson) etc etc
What amazes me, is that the democratic party look so weak and far from "main street" tbat cannot exhibit a candidate that is there because is good, they thought Kamala Harris (that was judged by everybody as by far unfit during her role as VP) would catch the votes of women, blacks and foreigners becuase of her personal story, and then they get surprised that she does not get votes...
