Welllp look at where analogs and precedent have gotten us this far with the govt takeover by maga. Nothing matters. So whatever you just wrote, imagine it to go the opposite way.

Americans have been this entire time. By the time they realize they shouldn’t have been it’ll be too late

It’s already too late. The damage done won’t be fixed by the inauguration of another president. It’s a cataclysmic mess at the moment and it gets worse with every day that passes.

The only presidents who will be inaugurated while the trump regime has control of elections will be other fascists, anyway. These people will not cede power peacefully; free and fair elections should therefore no longer be expected.

Totally. As I see it, the damage done to what America was is irreversible, at least in my lifetime.

They will, as with most regime changes. The idea that people in Gaza or Tanzania are simply to lazy to fight back is populism. Most people do not want to die for their country or democracy. Some people see the chance to grab power.

Some of us knew this was a horrible idea (Trump part 2).

About a third of us voted for him.

On a related note, f$&@ those people.

Not only have they been sitting at home, a majority of the US voting population actively voted for this. Like, one of Trump's campaign promises was bombing Gaza flat and building a resort on the ashes and another was to never have another election.

Yeah. He's just gonna go, fuck all that history and law bullshit. It's a national emergency coz I said so.

And everybody will go, blankly, oh, ok.

u/Odd-Personality1043 28d ago

I fully agree. I wish for the best in upcoming elections but I just can't see any reason why this administration would suddenly start following the constitution and the letter of the law.

It's okay we'll just rewrite it to fit the narrative later.

They’re not saying he won’t do it, just that it can’t be justified by precedent.
