Physically? I couldn’t do it, not anymore. Too many health conditions.
But anyone bringing trouble to my street or doorstep, is going to have a bad day.
No, I’m gonna sit back and laugh as a bunch of guys who couldn’t schedule a meeting at the four seasons try to overthrow the world’s oldest democracy.
Do not underestimate Trump. The last time people did that he won the damned election.
Do not underestimate Trump.
You can make some serious missteps by overestimating him.
But look around. Cop riots on ever campus from Columbia to UCLA with pigs firing tear gas and clubbing professors indiscriminately. All because some kids said “Free Palestine” on the lawn. There’s this sense that things will be so much worse under Trump, when its all spiraled completely out of control six months before the next election.
Win or lose, this is turning into a country by, of, and for cops. They own our world, no matter who sits in the White House. The only real difference is whether the President eggs them on or looks the other way.
We’re a constitutional Republic, dipshit. We’re not even a true democracy and calling us the oldest when there are PUBS older than our country is ridiculous. We are YOUNG.
According to wikipedia:
Under a minimalist definition of democracy, rulers are elected through competitive elections while more expansive definitions link democracy to guarantees of civil liberties and human rights in addition to competitive elections.
Feel free to edit if you disagree.
Whats that?
Demographics are trending away from conservatism and since they are almost to the point where they can no longer win elections, they want to install a permanent conservative dictatorship.
This has been a long time coming, I remember hearing on the radio in 2008 that projections showed conservatives couldn’t win elections if current trends continued for ~20 years, and they did. In conservative speak they call this the “great replacement theory” but it’s standard population math that a freshman math major could perform. They frame in a way to make stupid people think something nefarious is occurring. In reality, conservatives are the shrinking minority that is attempting to cling to power.
Just look back to the last time a conservative won the popular vote. I believe it has been over 20 years. The electoral college can only carry conservatives for so long.
To paraphrase a famous quote, “At some point conservatives will have the choice of abandoning conservatism or abandoning democracy.” Which do you think they’ll choose?
The last was Bush Jr but it was narrow, there were two wars raging, and he was in office already. The last first termer was Bush Sr. That was 36 years ago.
Even the EC cant hold it much longer. A blue Texas means the odds of a GOP win become in single digit probabilities. Go to Nate Silver’s site and play with the possible maps yourself.
Of course in an ideal world they would look at this and try to change to match what the population wants.
Which is why it pisses me off when people go, “Third Party/Not Voting”. Other elections, fine. This election? Dems need to win. Period. They need all three branches of government and enough of a margin to prevent getting Manchin’d. Anything less means there will not be a second chance
Destroy the GoP first, THEN focus on smacking around the Dems
It’s the logical conclusion of the insane unitary executive theory. Basically gives the president power way beyond what the constitution outlines that a sympathetic judiciary (what we’re currently stuck with) could enable.
What makes me laugh is the idea that if Trump were declared dictator for life, how long do you think his life would be?
One, the man weighs 280 lb in his 70s. He does not have long left.
Two, the best way to become dictator for life is to be announced dictator for life. This second best way is to kill the current dictator for life and take his seat. How long do you think it will take all of the people that follow Trump for money to realize that putting a bullet in his head would get them more money?
Joe Biden is too old and senile but this other guy that was a freshman in high school when Joe Biden was a senior is somehow alright
Well technically three years is all that separates their child brides from being legally old enough to consent when transported across state lines, so I’m sure that must be just enough difference in their minds.
One person is easier to control than a mob. The billionaires want a Puppet President they appoint without the annoyance of a voting populace. In short, they want feudalism with themselves as the aristocracy.
Don’t openly agree to commit crimes on the internet
Fair enough, do you think a some person would fight in a civil war?
Maybe on the weekends. I work during the week. Depends on if I could get flexible scheduling and HQ had Wi-Fi.
All right Johnson, HR has decided that you can pick one day a week to war from home, but you’re only going to get halftime pay for that.
Doubtful. Too easy for me to leave. My wife holds dual citizenship, my kids are in the process of getting it now, and the country she is from would easily award me an indefinite work visa based on my skillset. Even if I couldn’t leave, I won privilege bingo so not really in any danger.
You people have fun murdering each other

Besides my household I am not on speaking terms with any of my family, if you asked them they would say the same thing about me. My friends, yeah I will miss them.
I really don’t think it is likely to be all that bad but no reason not to have a plan.
I can only do so much due to disabilities, but I would support all resistance to a fascist Nazi takeover
You can pilot the flamethrowing robo-dogs for us.
hmmm, if I live there, I would probably try to move out.
or go to a state where this shenanigan doesn’t get acknowledged. not really sure if state laws were meant like that.
maybe this is project 2025 is a multi-tier attack with one layer in the form of fear mongering?
If trumps presidential immunity rule happens, Biden should delete trump before his term ends.
Just like in bush v gore, Supreme Court may say immunity is allowed, but only for this 1 case.
It will mean the experiment failed. I’ll go back to Europe where my ancestors came from, in the blink of an eye, and watch with popcorn as this place turns into Christian Iran
I’ll go back to Europe where my ancestors came from
You’re going to be in for a shock.
Look for YouTube videos where Americans move to modern societies like Germany or Denmark.
They are mind-bendingly overwhelmingly positive.
Look for YouTube videos
Uh huh
As much as I pretend to be one, I’m not really a fighter. I think this war may not need me to be one. The time to respond has already begun, and while front-line protests aren’t my strong suit, supporting protestors in my community is the place for me right now. If a greater conflict escalates, I’m probably not like doing the active fighting, but I can sure as shit help with supply lines as well as helping people who need to recover in the backlines. If I ever need to be in a fight I intend to be prepared, but there’s a lot more to do in a war than fight. And by the time anything like that would happen, I hope to have a resilient community around me who can support each other through hell. The fight’s already begun to an extent, and it’s important to remember that our best place may be “back-of-house” so to speak.
Sure. I have a lot of issues with the US but if fascists overthrow the constitutional order every American has a moral obligation to restore the rule of law.
I am a veteran of two wars, first priority is getting my kids out somewhere safe. Doubt I would come back after that. Will cheer for you all, but with republicans existing the USA just doesn’t even feel worth fighting for.
Every single person who votes Trump is a traitor. Yeah, you, that random person (not the guy I am replying to) who is reading this and voting Trump. Fuck you, traitor.
Would you fight a civil war?
With who? Against… who? Like, do I just go down to the city center and start swinging punches? Or are we saying there’s some kind of mobilized resistance movement that’s led by… uh… who, exactly?
I do not know what that is, but I would fight in any war to protect my family.

I’ve been wondering this since Trump’s policies started fucking with the country.
