It’s frustrating because it’s completely obvious what trump wants to do in downplaying 2025 and “simplifying” the gop platform. Zero specifics, broad generalizations (make America great again), can’t attack what isn’t there. Grifters thrive in ambiguity.

what’s really going to be wild is if we ditch a sitting president for the second time in history based on a fullbore media and social media freakout and then everyone goes back to claiming media narratives don’t matter in politics

Prosecution is probably ok with it because they’re confident the case will hold up. Maybe sentencing being closer to election isn’t bad too if you’re interested in rat fucking Donald’s campaign

I’m kind of flabbergasted about Biden ads I’ve been seeing where it breathlessly states “vote Biden and tell billionaires to pay their fair share” and I think “mother fucker you’re the fucking President now you do something.”

No, because again, it won’t allow Trump to unilaterally cancel the 2028 election. Do you people have any idea how any of this works?

Just taking your assertions to their logical conclusion. Is trump is truly an existential threat (and I mean existential as in no more United States) then it warrants a suicide charge if he pulls it off

My point is prognosticating Trump’s potential victory in November with a literal dismantling of the foundation of our democracy is ludicrous, and if you believe it but have no interest in discussing contingencies you’re not a serious person.

This entire thread started because I’m skeptical (to put it mildly) that Trump will be able to literally cancel democratic elections without any sort of martial pushback and apparently that’s a naive take.

Ok so in the case that Trump wins and literally cancels all future elections, the corner stone of our republic, which you are claiming will happen with minimal resistance because magic I guess, your answer would be to just shrug and die?

Again. If that’s what is at stake then make sure you have guns and are ready to put them into use. If that’s not where we’re at, then there’s no use to talking about a decade of darkness.

Super majorities have happened before. Nothing can be torn down that can’t be built up again in a decade. If we’re past the point of no return wrt democracy itself, then we’re at the point of armed rebellion being a legitimate choice. Are we?
