It’s almost like Trump tried a coup to avoid leaving office the last time around.
Fears? He’s literally said this directly.
The diabetes will kill him I’m the nearest 6 months, so its technically true.
Once democracy is dead, his death won’t take us back to what we have today — we’ll end up with one of his kids or buddies running the show, and that can be even worse.
Got news for ya. Democracy he’s been dead for a while now.
Democracy is a spectrum, it’s true that it’s getting less democratic, and the US is certainly less democratic than most of Europe, but it’s still technically a democracy.
Maybe the fear is because he’s hinted towards that and also said that?
Really need to look at both sides here. /s
As an avoid Trump supporter, I’ll give you lads some insight as to why he intended to do this. What few people know is that I actually made a jolly good show of runnin’ for office back around the time The Donald was about to make america great again, but sadly my efforts didn’t fall through because of the uniparty system at the time being the democrats, so my ideas never really fell through.
This is why every girl I date has to be on the alt right of the political scale and why I also join hate groups on the internet for those that do not fall into the correct side of the political spectrum. Sorry kinda lost my train of thought but yeah that’s why trump is beat president IMO.
I legit cant tell if youre a troll or not cause you just use words in the entirely wrong places. Hell im not even convinced that you are a native English speaker because both paragraphs are fucking weird.
Ya know what im just gonna embrace my Redneck heritage and say I hope you piss off the wrong person IRL and mysteriously disappear only to be found in the outskirts of some backwater town after twenty years because they are building a new grocery store.
Going with them not being a troll, just the average intelligence of Trump voters.
Then they need to be strapped to a chair clockwork orange style and forced to watch mid 1990s to early 2000s kids edutainment shows until they cant think of anything else.
With a bit of the old Ludwig Van.
I can’t fathom how you didn’t manage to win a seat in government.
So until 2045?
What does that say?
Thanks for adding an article link to the replies. It adds context for anyone who sees this later, much appreciated.
“creation of a unified reich”
8 years into this I find it hard to believe there are any “undecided” voters, I’m willing to bet most of these people have already decided who they’re voting for but they won’t publicly admit it for fear of fallout from their peers.
We see it a lot in Bible Belt States where people are very vocally opposed to abortion access, yet still turn out in staggering numbers to vote for it when it’s on the ballot.There kinda are. Very privileged people who don’t need to pay attention to politics because the fascists aren’t ever targeting them. So they can be clueless and just see the biggest soundbites that make it past political TV. If you haven’t been paying attention to the shitshow, it probably looks a lot tamer. =/
If they’re attacking trans and gays they might as well be attacking straight people at this point
Undecided doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t decided who to vote for. It means they haven’t decided if they’re going to go vote.
Alternatively it means they’re scared to say who they want to vote for because either they’re blue in a red area and are used to hiding it so they’re not shot or they know Trump is a piece of shit but are scared the Dems are going to force everyone to change genders and pee in front of each other.
Undecided voters are concerned that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, he’ll never leave.
And . . . yet they’re undecided??
I don’t . . . is this a . . . I mean . . . WHAT.
Yeah but Biden is a disappointing centrist, so clearly I don’t know how choose between him and an authoritarian dictator.
You make a valid point, but the reason people are undecided is that they they have no properly informed opinions. I hate this narrative that Biden is ineffective. Biden has done a lot of good things. And where congress failed, he found a way to get shit done anyway. People don’t know that because media sucks and their echo chambers don’t tell them. Or alternatively, their expectation about what a president can do in one term is completely unreasonable.
And that is all while ignoring that a republican congress will hold back the entire country for years just to make sure their guy looks better. And it works! People complain about shit not getting done but couldn’t tell you how their representatives voted on those things.
So yeah, pretty much what you said. They think the candidates are roughly the same, but they have no clue how what their candidates do actually affects them.
And that is all while ignoring that a republican congress will hold back the entire country for years just to make sure their guy looks better. And it works! People complain about shit not getting done but couldn’t tell you how their representatives voted on those things.
And when something does get pushed past the obstructionism and helps people out, Republicans sometimes claim credit for the very thing they voted against.
Or they sue the government with some BS argument for standing to have it repealed by activist judges.
Also, he’s old! Or so the New York Time and other “liberal media” keep telling me! Also, Genocide Joe, etc… /s, obvs
Tribes, man. Fucking tribes.
We need to go back to Earthsiege.
If you saw Jordan Klepper’s Russia special, John Bolton straight up says he thinks Trump will pretty much end democracy.
And then mentions that he’s going to write in a candidate when he votes.
I don’t get it man. I’m not going to be happy voting for Biden, but I’d vote in Caligula’s horse if it meant avoiding fascism overtaking democracy in the US.
Undecided voter is a euphemism for “someone who literally does not give one shit about the world beyond their tiny little bubble in it”.
Pure unadulterated opportunism.
Or it means, “Republican who has enough awareness to not want to admit it in public”
One of those times when you don’t know if the creator was for or against Trump.
… Goldar?
The theory that Trump would somehow be allowed to just stay president indefinitely is an equally absurd conspiracy theory as Trump having actually won in 2016.
It’s not a question of being allowed, he’s broken so many laws in the past alone and got away with it heck is still doing those same things. Already he is denying legality of any law or prosecution that is currently blocking him and steps past…
It’s a matter of who will dare to stop him once he is at that point: He has judges in his pocket. Part of the armed forces apparently are pro maga. Who or which branch will actually physically stop him once he declares his reign to continue? Ofcourse it will be under a lame excuse that it’s good for the country, it is in unrest or at war right now so elections are bad hmmkay? So generally it’ll be swallowed and shrugged off.
Any PERSON trying, or even complaining, risks being shot by henchmen or at the very least gets their and their family’s lives destroyed.
Here and there there might be committees making a declaration what he’s doing is illegal, but if Trump’s team ignores it all or makes them go away, there is no oversight to stop him because no one single individual dares to stand in front.
As long as he has part of the judiciary system and a good chunk of armed folks to his defense one can sue and complain and he might show up in court to make a circus out of it but meanwhile will sit it all out on his throne.
an equally absurd conspiracy theory as Trump having actually won in 2016.
Trump did win in 2016. And yes, it’s entirely reasonable and consistent with his behavior and rhetoric to this point that he will try not to leave. He’s already comparing himself to FDR and talking about three terms.
Well I fucked up the year on that… oops
Fair, but the point still stands! :)
Oh sweet summer child…
If he gets back in office, he’ll leave in a body bag.
That’s not a threat, I just don’t see him lasting much longer.
Not before establishing a dynastic succession plan though.
Historically, those tend not to last. If they take root at all, they last a matter of months. The adult children aren’t able to harness the cult of personality the same way.
NKorea being one big exception. There aren’t a lot of other examples in modern nation states.
That’s honestly different. They’re figureheads controlled by the army. Remember how the heir apparent was passed over and killed?
And if he lasts twenty more years?
You can be fat.
Or you can be old.
You cannot be both.
kissinger was fat and lived to be 100
It’ll be proof that Satan doesn’t want him.
The Kissinger Klause.
And yet they’re undecided?
And it’s not even just that he won’t leave, since he’s gonna die pretty soon just of “natural” causes, if natural is what we have to wait for. He’ll make changes that permanently affect the role too. Going back to democracy from dictator generally takes extreme violence historically. And generally outside influence. The states becoming a dictatorship is basically setting up world war 3. With a decent chance of the states not being the winner. Especially if Trump is planning on following whatever Putin is feeding him for the changes to make. Cuz we know that would be Putins goal. And all Trump cares about is going down in history, not sure it matters to him what he’s remembered for, or he’s convinced himself, or been convinced this will be seen as a positive move.
Speech to text?
Mine always catches me out on not pronouncing because fully.
Everyone dies one day
Some not soon enough.
Their death won’t undo all the harm they did during their life…
Worse yet, I am afraid that Trump would die in office, then VP Donald Trump Jr would become President for 2 more terms, then by the time Eric is ready to takeover they will have already held the Constitutional Convention that turns the country into a benevolent Trump oligarchy, in which the title of “President” becomes hereditary, just as the Founders intended.
“Yes, yes. Carry on.” - Samuel Alito
“My new TRUMP Motorcoach is really the talk of the town. Please don’t call it an RV.” - Clarence Thomas
“I’ve found some very strange lint in my navel.” - John Roberts
“The handsmaid’s look is really coming back in style.” - Amy Coney Island
“Hold my beer!” - Brett Kavanaugh
“Why are you forcing me to wear the handmaid’s dress? I voted the right way!” -Justice Ofjesse
No no, she wants to wear the dress.
The only thing I disagree with is the use of the word benevolent
Maybe they meant malevolent.
Well, they think they’re beneveolent, at least with regard to the people who they feel deserve it.
“Benevolent” being used in the same sense that China is a People’s Republic, or NK is Democratic.
He’s already King of Trump Tower, and ofcourse “the bestest American”, so by rights he IS king of America and will lead “his” people accordingly. “King Trumps President in power” and all that, so he now just needs to cement his family line in the role.
I’d find it immensely funny if he now already declared one of his family members as a running mate for VP position 😅
Already can hear the lame excuse: “it is needed now because they are the only ones to be trusted to do their job, for the better of the country” (Ofcourse it’s convenient in the case ol’ Donald is incapacitated for some reason, the one next in line cements the legacy for the century to come…)
Is that because he said that’s exactly what he’ll do?
That’s like saying you’re “concerned” water is wet or the sun will rise tomorrow…it’s a certainly this scum won’t leave, even if he loses again I bet he still tries to take it by force.
