      You can’t guarantee. But you can look at a candidates statements and the history of the party they represent, to get an understanding of what will happen.

      When one candidate says “I’ll only be a dictator for one day” and his party doesn’t react to this statement, that’s a pretty big red flag that your civil rights will be severely eroded if they get into power.
