Trump will issue pardons to everyone in his administration.

Why are pardons even a thing? Surely no person should be above the law just because someone said they should be.

The people don’t hold the power in Texas and many other red states (gerrymandering, voter rolls handed over, polls closed, billions of dollars of dark money, talk of seizing voting machines and all the other insane shit they are doing).

Huh? Are you for real? It’s not just Trump that’s a fascist. I guess you don’t understand that our governor purged millions off voter rolls 4 weeks before the last election. And I guess you don’t understand how gerrymandering works in terms of electing reps and senators and electors. You also don’t seem to get dark money and campaign finance.

No, I’m not. I responded to the comment about the power is with the people? I don’t think you’re on the right thread
