MSNBC host Rachel Maddow gave some post-election analysis which indicated that she believes Americans have rejected democracy because they did not select her preferred presidential candidate.
“If this was an election that was not just a choice between two candidates, but a choice between keeping the American system of government or trading it in for a strong man authoritarian system instead, then the decisive result of this election gives us, not just an answer to the question as to what Americans want to do along those lines, it also gives us a really big to-do list as Americans,” she said.
Maddow continued, “We now are just another one in the list of countries that has decided to, you know — ‘Hey, what the heck? Let’s try the strong man thing. Let’s let democracy go. Let’s put in an all-powerful guy instead. See how it goes.’”
She went on to say other countries govern this way, and now America will too.
Maddow recommended that liberals – who she refers to as the half of the country who “want to keep our democracy” – should be “scrappy as hell” and function as a “thorn in the side to anyone who intends to turn this country into some tin pot tyranny.”
“The U.S. military needs to give the American people binding assurances that they will not deploy U.S. military force against the civilian population in this country. They can give those assurances, and now they should,” Maddow added. “The free press needs to give the people of this country assurances that they will not become state TV. That they will stand and fight together. They will put aside rivalries and petty professional differences.”

The MSNBC host ranted that the Constitution would come under attack with Republicans in charge, which Democrats should “actively resist.”
Maddow recommends her followers should resist by joining other community members to create a “strong civil society,” which would help keep these power-hungry totalitarians at bay.
“Hope you are feeling scrappy,” Maddow told her audience. “Hope you are tapping into your inner pirate energy, because it is one thing to be a defender of the realm. It is another thing to be in opposition. And opposition can be a lot of things. It can be dangerous, but can also be fun. Would have been nice to win the election. Didn’t? Okay? Time to save the country,” she concluded.
