Would not surprise me one bit. Plutocrats are our betters, after all and even when people die, it’s just a game to them. All about re establishing a full aristocracy. Equality for none, ladies and gents, and all of us heathens.

So then, couldn’t everyone who accepted his orders and committed the crimes then be charged with the crimes since they’re not immune?

And where does the power go from there? His heir? Whoever emerges the victor of a bloody succession battle involving millions?

Ideally. He has stated, and his team is enthusiastically endorsing: “dictator for a day” And dictators aren’t all that well known for stepping down after they’ve gotten power. Not willingly.

Yeah ok bub. Like I said. We aren’t going to agree and you somehow think both are equal which, to my mind, is absurd - but I’m sure you think the same. We’re not going to agree, and I am going to avoid responding in kind with such a melodramatic tone.

There is, but you’ve already chose and this internet stranger is not going to convince you otherwise. Let’s hope if the wanna be fascist comes into power again, the courts have enough sense to not allow project 2025 to come to full fruition. For ours and the world’s sake.

Honestly? If the Dems have a controlled (less fractious) but thorough discussion/debate and choose a candidate - they could suck all the wind out of lil’ Donny’s sails. He won’t be able to get any airtime because he’d become old news.

Fault of the failure of democracy falls on the voters ultimately. You can’t wash your hands if you choose not to stand up against a rising fascism. That’s still on you.

Enthusiasm or not, it’s their fault. They made the bed. If the alternative candidate wishes to end democracy and turn us into an authoritarian Christian nationalist state, and sitting out the election in protest of a candidate seems a feasible idea? You’re the problem. Point blank.

Honestly. They shouldn’t. He should step aside and endorse someone else so that his incredibly successful 4 years aren’t marred by that performance. I mean. Sure. The genocide will look poorly in history books, but he should take the W’s he had and pass the torch. Quickly and vociferously.

And there is nothing wrong with men wearing heels, as I tried to make obvious. Just that DeSantis wouldn’t know how to rock a rocking chair without somehow fumbling it and I’m all here for shitting on that pathetic little hateful ball of pro torture Florida.

Then we can get the real debate. Harris vs DeSantis where the after debate spin room will be all about who wore their heels the best. And say what you will about ACAB, but hands down Harris would win that fight anywhere but a kitschy Cowboy theme strip club where DeSantis would fit right in.

You know there are steps necessary to get that done, don’t you? The US doesn’t rule Israel as a fiefdom. They are a sovereign nation - albeit a genocidal one. Steps have been and are being taken to stop it. Or is the fact it isn’t our (not Biden’s) decision too hard for you to contemplate?
