ITT: People who want authoritarianism but only if it’s the other team.
Would’ve been pretty funny to have Democrat version of January 6th
You just saw it. A peaceful transition
No I mean if they threw a fit and caused a ruckus like Republicans. Some have been calling for that and knowing the Democrat reaction back then, it would’ve been funny.
People showed up on Jan 6 because Trump was telling people. That’s the instigation part.
Biden nor Harris was tweeting/reaching out to Democrats or any other caucus to arrive at the capital and fight. So unless there was some other DNC leader that was asking them to… I never saw it
Well yeah the whole discussion is about how funny it would’ve been if it did happen??
The cohort that controls the Democratic Party are perfectly content to pantomime gentlemanly decorum while being led into the ovens of a fascist authoritarian oligarchy. I’m just completely done with their bullshit.
Trump’s gonna literally try to kill them all. They made their own graves with this milquetoast bullshit.
Him and his supporters. It wasn’t just the Capitol, it was the fake electors, the pressuring of his VP not to certify, the “find me more votes” call to governors, etc. There are no consequences for this fuck…
It really solidifies our judicial system as a joke. I hope he’s eaten by fears of extrajudicial remedies, but he honestly seems too stupid to understand the risk.
Maybe he can get scared enoug at shadows for his burger-fattened heart to give in and do the job without landing anyone in jail.
As for Vance, that one might need more… convincing. Maybe we can find a couch with some novel and deadly STD for him?
Yeah, but fuck 'im.

Yeah. Peacefully handing the country and all it’s vulnerable population to fascists while the democrats all cash out and flee.
They’re gonna leave us to THEIR fate.
I wonder if Blue states will be sort of protected like last time. Relatively protected.
I’m quickly becoming a Federalist in the sense that I just want to be left alone in my state that still has environmental protections and fuck Alabama or whoever.
I started out as a centralist in 2016 and now I’m a full on anti-state autonomous rule anarchist lol.
People like trump being elected radicalised me.
HA. Same. Isn’t it funny to be warned by the prior generation about “big government” only to have them purposefully fuck it up to prove the point?
I’m reasonably fine with my governor, comparatively.
I went from Social Democrat -> Marxist -> Anarchist 😭
Thanks Trump (and becoming homeless at one point) for radicalising me.
Ultimately, I think we’d both agree a cabin out in the woods, maybe with solar panels, would be the best form of government, wouldn’t you say? 😀
Same!
America has decided to roll over and let fascism take root.
Our ancestors would be utterly ashamed.
Is there a way to save a comment so it alerts me back to it 4 years from now?
Make a Google calendar event with a permalink to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, but it requires learning. You may not have that option soon with what Republicans ran on doing to our education system.
Tbf, learning has taken a nose dive while under the Department of ED. It’s… Really, really bad.
Do you believe education should be privatized so that only the privileged receive one?
No, but to pretend the choices are one or the other is ridiculous.
I mean, if you don’t want education to be privatized then you want it to be universal (federalized).
If there’s some in between, what exactly is it?
You should do some research into what American education looked like before the Department of Education.
Spoiler Alert: It wasn’t very good and a lot of people couldn’t read.
States can and did run their own school system, and I’m sorry to spoil your spoil, but lots of kids churning out of the system today can’t read. The numbers are staggering.
You mean the slave owners who only wanted white landowners to vote?

I’m more concerned with what our descendents are going to think.
Just be glad most of us won’t be around anymore to find out
They won’t think much of anything, considering what Trump is about to do to the Department of Education.
Because it’s better to be right than create change…
“You might be dead right, you’re still dead!”
-A Republican message to the Democrats
Its not going to make him understand anything. If at all, it will just confirm his biases
Don’t worry Democrats will run Hillary in 2028, surely she’ll win this time!
DNC staff: if you’re reading this - this is a joke. We do not in fact want Hillary Clinton to run. Please. No.
4 fears later: Oh ffs…
Hillary Clinton won by nearly 3 million votes.
Love that democracy in action
In 2028 Democrats will run Eric Trump (Don Jr for the red team).
Ah yes, we can now see she simply wasn’t old enough yet
Please not her. Find somebody younger!
Cute you think there will be a free election in 2028 lol
… and are refusing even now at the state level. Ohai, NC, we see you.
Kamala had a chance to do the funniest thing.
Oh c’mon Biden, it’s not too late to have him official business’d!
Honestly, he should push that law to its limit before trump abuses it daily.
