That’s ok let’s get prepared to stop him 🛑 ✋🏾
Oh hey look, it’s exactly the thing I was talking about when Trump ran for a second term the first time.
“If Trump wins this election, there won’t be any more elections.”
Do it. Let’s pop this shit off already.
One of the reasons he’s so desperate to end the Ukraine War is so he can collect his Nobel Peace Prize, freeing him to start his war with Mexico, and have a draft, essentially enslaving the entire young male demographic so they can’t be used against him in a Civil War.
Then he can use the Mexican War as an excuse to suspend elections, even though we’ve never cancelled an election in our history, not even during the Civil War.
The fact that he lept on Z’s remark about no election, illustrated that he’s been giving this a lot of thought, wondering what might work as a reasonable excuse. Dems love Zelensky, and he cancelled elections because of the war, so if America is in a war, he can cancel elections, and the Dems will have to accept it. It won’t occur to him that there’s a difference between fighting a war in a separate country, and fighting a war within your own capital city.
It also won’t occur to him that just because something happened in a different country, doesn’t mean we have to accept it here. We have a Constitution, that’s the rule book, not some nation on the other side of the world.

Ever heard of mutiny? Because that is how you get a mutiny.

It boggles my mind that there are still Americans who cling to legalism as some kind of saviour, even after all the months of proof that it is absolutely no barrier to the fascists doing exactly what they want.
Just because they want to pretend the Constitution doesn’t exist doesn’t mean we have to accept it.
We don’t have to match the MAGAs immorality to beat them, we just have to play Hard Ball, and force them to follow the rules, and the rules are the Constitution. If they refuse to follow the rules, we can’t just say “Oh well, we tried,” and give up. You FORCE them to adhere to those rules, whether they like it or not. And if they won’t cooperate, you keep pushing, and you NEVER stop demanding that they follow the rules.
Make them obey, period. You don’t disparage those that are advocating for forcing them to follow the Constitution. That’s just weak, and that kind of Democratic thinking is what allowed MAGA to rise, take power, and then take power AGAIN!
Too many people do not want violence of any form ever, so they’ll just let maga do what they want.
If the rules prohibit something, and they do it anyway, you need to stop them. Much like the paradox of tolerance, the rules are a treaty not a suicide pact.
Being committed to Peace doesn’t mean that violence is off the table. It is absolutely last resort, but history often puts humanity in a position of having to defend peaceful people against Monsters who are equally committed to violence and oppression. It’s an unfortunate position, but we did not choose this, the Monsters did, and therefore we have to meet them on their terms.
The difference is that if our violence wins, it’s over, and Peace is restored. If the Monsters win, they are just getting started.
We have a Constitution, that’s the rule book, not some nation on the other side of the world.
It’s just words on paper if not enforced. And Republicans haven’t been keen on enforcing it when it comes to him, not specifically but especially.
Enforcing it is the Democrats’ responsibility, but Schmuck Schumer is literally the weakest, most cowardly Democratic leader I’ve seen in my long lifetime. He is so ineffective, and he has become so wealthy from insider trading, that I am honestly starting to suspect that he is working with the MAGA Nazis, or at least actively unopposing them.
His weakness is a major reason that MAGA was able to rise, get elected, and rise again to get elected AGAIN. He is as reliable to MAGA as any of HitlerPig’s trusted henchmen.
If Schmuck Schumer isn’t a secret MAGA, he is just the same as one. It’s long past time to kick him out.
This man acting like he’s going to see another election
Hmmmm…
Release the Trump/Epstein files
I’m fucking tired of this fucking dumbass and everyone who enables him by saying he’s just joking. Sometimes, people are not joking. It’s not just a fucking prank, bro. And even if it was? What kind of professional politician just pulls pranks nonstop?
He’s never joking. He’s a genuine psychopath, he has no sense of humor. He’s just learned to pretend like he has one to fool the normal humans without broken personalities. If he says it, he’s serious.
He only presents it like a joke to get people used to the idea. Anyone that reacts with outrage at his statements are immediately mocked and denigrated as dramatic nonsensical leftists. Then when they actually do the thing they claimed would never happen, the tune changes from accusing the left of senseless hysteria to them accusing them of being anti-American, Pro-crime, etc etc.
Every step they take with the federalization of armed forces is to get the populace used to the idea of it happening. And, so far, that has been largely successful. So when they actually mobilize, there will be far less pushback.
Okay, so you’ve clearly been paying attention. Keep it up brother, I’m sure you’ve already figured out that there’s a LOT of trouble ahead. We’re not getting out of this without violence.
They will continue to escalate things until they take a major action like the Nazis did with the Night of Long Knives. It’s just a matter of what that will be. I’m expecting something with Mexico. Since he has started talking about military incursions to deal with cartels, if applied to the strategy aforementioned, he’s conditioning the public to get used to the idea. Then, when he invades Mexico and pisses off even more Americans, I think they’re expecting riots in response. Once the riots happen, he will send in military not to occupy cities but to completely take them over.
So did they cancel elections when US invaded Iraq? Afghanistan? Vietnam? Nah… but Trump just wants to cancel elections. He is a dictator. Since there’s nothing and no one stopping him - there’s no reason why he won’t just do it. It’s what 70 million Americans wants anyway.
Maybe he’s planning for the next war to be closer to home. Mexico, Panama and Canada should take this seriously.
We are
News flash people, he’s not fuckin joking. Arm yourselves while you can.
Does a civil war count?
That’s exactly what he’s hoping for.
He’s militarizing cities as we speak. If he keeps amping it up, protests will theoretically follow. MAGA will find some reason to claim these protests “turned violent”. Trump declares martial law and cancels elections. Done.
I thought that’s why y’all kept sacrificing children to gun violence, but apparently they were to support, not fight, facism. Or at least to have them hanging there while supposedly American values get trampled.
Look, it’s not simple. Armed rebellion is not a good time. If that course is taken it’s critical to first understand where the states fall. Since each has it’s own military, among other things, no tactical decisions can be made until those lines are drawn, or fragmented accordingly.
It’s kinda the equivalent of asking why the Italians aren’t doing a revolution because the EU decided to ban Pasta. Like sure they did that, it’s not good, but like what happens if Germany doesn’t participate and Ireland sides with Italy?
People keep wondering why we aren’t in a full blown shooting war yet, even trying to bait us into it. That day will come, it’s nearly inevitable at some level, but it takes time to get to that point. It will take EVERY American to feel like we have done EVERYTHING we can to avoid it, and then the MAGA Nazis are finally going to do something to put us over the edge, and it will be on.
I have a few red lines. One is my son. My son will not be fighting in any MAGA war, period. If he gets drafted he will not go. If the government does anything to him, I will become a very dangerous person.
Another is elections. If elections are suspended or cancelled for ANY reason, then America has ceased to exist, and I cooperate with nothing. I don’t pay taxes, I don’t follow the laws, etc. As far as I am concerned, there is no government, no law enforcement, no laws. Without elections, we are without a government, we are in a state of Anarchy, and I will recognize no authority.
Also, this country is huge and most of us are living paycheck to paycheck. It’s tough to have an armed rebellion when you can’t afford enough gas to drive to the front lines.
Person 1: I had to steal, my mother is sick! Person 2: Wow maybe I should go stealing things next time my mom is sick too!
Person 1: “I had to speed because I was late to my meeting.” Person 2: “Great, so it’s okay for everyone to break the law whenever they’re running late?”
Person 1: “We postponed our elections because we are at war and under martial law” Person 2: “Cool, I hope my country is at war next election season!”
This kind of retort is called a reductio ad absurdum, and I think you people are missing it because you have such a strong confirmation bias against Trump. The sarcasm is extremely clear. He’s pointing out the absurdity behind Zelensky using martial law to postpone elections by using himself as an example, knowing that that would be a problem and that people would see it that way.
The Ukrainian constitution doesn’t allow for wartime elections. What are you on about? It’s not like Zelenskyy is denying rightful elections like Trump is talking about…
The USA does not have any occupied territories.
Should Ukraine disenfranchise those areas or leave them open to election tampering from Russia?
It’s different, and trying to reduce one to the other is the absurd thing.
Can he have a stroke or massive heart attack or something already? Fucking hell man. Nature never takes the ones it should.
He lives such an unhealthy lifestyle that it is amazing he has held out this long.
Only the good die young.
Then they 25th Amendment him and install JDV as Thiels hand-picked successor. Somehow speedrunning our way into some weird techno-fascist hellacspe faster than we already are.
Or he could’ve already had one. Allegedly Reagan was declining for years and the people around him successfully hid it until he was out of office.
That’s what this shitfuck does. He ‘jokes’ about an idea, then repeats it until it sounds normal, then does whatever the fuck he wants and nobody does anything about it.
Meh, just hold one without him. Get an electoral college quorum and move the new guy in because it’s 100% state driven and he can’t change the constitution. Like an old time papacy schism, let God sort it out.
he can’t change the constitution
No, but he’s sure proven that he can ignore it. And the Supreme Court will ultimately back him up. And they’ve already ruled that he can’t be charged with anything illegal he does while president (the courts won’t even punish him for crimes he was convicted of when not POTUS). And even if they don’t rule in his favor he’s shown he’s willing to ignore the courts when they don’t rule in his favor.
If the cops and military side with him- and there is a good chance the majority in both groups are MAGAts, he’ll just have people participating in the ‘illegal/illegitimate’ elections arrested.
If he’s still alive in 2028 he will not give up power, I guarantee it.
I’m not saying he’d let it happen, but this is one scenario where the constitution is perfectly clear and it’s within the states’ authority. They could even ignore the SCOTUS if they wanted, though I think even the SCOTUS would struggle to justify stopping an election.
Oh he’s not giving up power willingly.
Police maybe. But, from my anecdotal experience in the military, as an infantryman, so not even officer/better educated MOS, the military is surprisingly nuanced. It’s too big of an organization with too many backgrounds to make a statement like that, if you ask me. Granted, I was in during his first presidency, and a lot could have changed, but, you might be surprised the resistance the military would give.
I hope you are right.
Purely anecdotal but the two younger veterans I know absolutely abhor him and what he’s doing.
99% sure he wasn’t joking. He was plotting.
As soon as he stops being president all that Epstein shit is going to fall over him, he knows that so he’s going to try to use his power to stay in power.
20 bucks on Venezuela, 10 on Mexico and another 10 on Panama
Iran, the aerial campaign was a failure.
I think Venezuela is high up, it has oil, and he wants something close to him…Iran is kinda far away.
Maybe that’s why he’s sucking up to Putin. If/when Trump invades Vzla, Vzla is very much friends with Russia & China out of necessity - if he invades Vzla - Russia might come to Vzla’s aid and poof we have WW3.
Have you seen Russian performance in Ukraine?
I’d like to see them try and support Venezuela.
Don’t they already have attack plans drawn out for Mexico?
They have attack plans drawn out on most countries.
Sigh…that sounds accurate ):
Has been the case for decades. So far it always was a “rather have it and not use it, than the other way around” thing
So far
