"He's telling us he'll be a dictator. HE'S TELLING US. America wake up," Illinois politician Joe Walsh wrote on X in response to former US President Donald Trump's latest comments.
Congressman Adam Schiff wrote, "This year democracy is on the ballot, and if we are to save it, we must vote against authoritarianism. Here Trump helpfully reminds us that the alternative is never having the chance to vote again."
These are dramatic comments, but they paint the picture of the rising panic in the United States about what some feel another Trump presidency could look like for the country.
The comments were written in response to Trump's recent speech to a largely Christian audience.
"Get out and vote. Just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore," he said.
"You've got to get out and vote. In four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good you're not going to have to vote."
Naturally, many Democrats have seen this as Trump voicing that he plans to end voting altogether, and potentially democracy as a whole, if elected.
Trump has since claimed that he was referring to the fact that Christians are one of the lowest voting demographics and that he was telling them to vote "just this once". Meant to reassure the country, his follow up explanation didn't relax many.

Trump has been saying to his latest rally goers "You don't really need to vote in November - I don't need your vote"...........WHY ??
Trump is this MAGA Republican Party's "useful idiot".
They've already put in place strategies to make certifying the real & honest election results almost impossible.
Election chaos once again.
Trump lies so much he's incapable of keeping a secret.
Overturning November's US Election looks like a real possibility this time.
