The Court ruling today is terrible but expected. I will just gently remind everyone that the election hasn’t happened yet. We shouldn’t assume the worst outcome as a foregone conclusion. That only encourages more apathy than many are already feeling.

Trump lost by 3 million votes in 2016 and 7 million in 2020. These are razor thin margins, but America seems to still be on the side of "sanity". Can't let up now!

I don’t think you get it. You all imagine Trump is the threat. He isn’t. Fascism is the threat. Replace Trump with DeSantis or any other fascist moron and it’s the same result. The Democratic Party has done nothing to stop the rise of fascism. They’ve actually helped it along.

We should definitely redouble our GOTV efforts. If we vote in numbers too big to fudge, and make sure that on the first Tuesday in January enough attention is paid to security, we might be able to save the Republic from the Rethuglicans.

I honestly do not understand your position here. It’s DONE—Trump will not be tried until after the election. What is the outcome you’re saying is still uncertain? This case was about whether he could run again. He can.

Ngl this sounds super fucking pollyanna. Also I keep hearing this and shit just gets worse, so maybe instead of this we should assume the worst and be pleasantly surprised if we don't end up in death camps.

I'm not trying to be defeatist, I'm legitimately asking: how are we to believe the electoral system isn't also compromised? We never imagined the justice system would collapse like this, but it has. Why would we believe the election itself is invulnerable? Note: I'm not saying it's useless to vote.

The "worst outcome" only gets staved off if Biden wins. It doesn't alter the fact that we are at least two fundamentally different countries pretending to be one, and that is simply unsustainable.

This ruling makes me wonder if the GOP: a) Fully expects Trump to be reelected b) Thinks a Democrat will never get elected again Because I can't imagine the GOP being OK with a Democrat President to wield this level of immunity. VOTE!

Joe Biden was certainly not himself at that debate, at least in the first 20 minutes or so. Makes me wonder if there was some reason for the brain fog, innocent or otherwise. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt until the direction is clear.

The election's not a problem now surely. Following the Supreme Court ruling conferring immunity on all actions taken by a President; even if Biden loses, he can use the full force of government to keep Trump out of the White House, and never once be at risk of breaking any law. 🤪

But will winning the election really deal with the court's lawlessness? If it will, it's on the democrats to explain how. And I don't think "hopefully a few of them will die and Republicans let us replace them" is a great plan.

The most this really means right now is that Trump's court cases won't happen before the election. The SC sent it back down for further clarification in addition to their ruling. They'll rule, another appeal will bring it back up. Min. 6 months to another year before this is actually decided.
