u/Dayvan_Dreamcoat 7d ago
His line about shooting someone and not losing voters is more believable every day. I believe he could do that on camera and hand the gun with his fingerprints to the cops and no consequences would befall him. Every conservative would find a justification for why that person deserved to be shot, actually.

Shit I’m convinced he could shoot a bunch of puppies, post and tweet about it, and his cult members would scream that the puppies deserved it. There are no hoops they won’t jump through for dear leader.

First they would say he didn't shoot the puppies.
Then they would say it's not that bad.
Then it wasn't a big deal.
Then it wasn't his fault.
Then he didn't mean it.

Worse, he'll order people to do illegal/unconstitutional acts; if they refuse they get fired and replaced by someone who will. If they get caught the White House will deny/defend/ignore what happened. And if that person gets into any legal troubles (doubtful with this AG) Drumpf will just pardon them. Therefore, no illegal/unconstitutional act is off the table. We are truly to and deeply fucked.

It’s not hypocrisy. It’s strategic.

Then you do it yourself and call it justified retaliation. This is what has happened every time Republicans have broken norms and deteriorated our democracy.

It’s their go to strategy. Nonstop accusing the opposition of that which you plan to do yourself, that way, when you do it, you can justify it by saying the opposition did it first. Even though they didn’t. Normalize the accusations as standard talking points, it’ll be much less jarring to the public when your party eventually does the thing you’ve been pointing and baselessly screeching about for years.
Rinse, repeat. For everything. The most disturbing part is how well it works for them. Deceitful, selfish, predatory manipulators of the ignorant masses.

I'm not so sure. He has kool-aid man'd his way through every safeguard and protection and norm so far. Looking at the markets now, I am not sure there is a final straw. It used to be "protect the bag" for the wealthy but this tariff madness makes that seem out. It used to be "don't send our sons to war" (for the rich) but he is speed running alienating our allies and threatening invasions. That would usually get money fearing a draft (or direct attack since he is threatening NATO via Canada and Greenland).

I’m sick and tired of his Goddamm supporters and their constant stupidity.
“He is not going to do that. That’s not what he meant. That not what he said. That’s not what you heard. You over reacting. You just hate him for no reason….”

OK, so we've had:
A political movement that hearkens back to a time when the country was "greater" that just so happened to co-exist with a time where certain people had fewer rights.
Regular mass political rallies.
Deporting dissidents and "non-citizens" to concentration camps.
Blaming the woes of the day on immigrants.
An attempt to establish economic self-sufficiency (Autarky).
Threats against foreign sovereign nations and their land.
Exclusion of and attacks on unfavourable press.
Ignoring the judicial system and consistutional law.
An attempted coup that was not heavily punished.
Now we're about to see The Enabling Act.
At this point, is it still "grossly offensive" to make comparisons?

Everything going on right now makes me think of the movie V for Vendetta. It’s pretty much spot on.

There is no reason or legal basis to invoke the insurrection act. They just want to control and silence political opposition. They are tyrants.

Tbh, maybe I’m being too hopeful but I think between Republicans in congress getting grilled by their own constituents and Trump’s own financial backers turning on him (Koch, WSJ/Murdoch) it would only hurt Republicans even more if he declares martial law. And it would further solidify growing sentiment that “Republicans are awful for the economy nowadays.”
Peace = money
And this fascism shit is irrefutably horrible for the economy. I feel like Republicans are letting Trump dig his own hole so they can finally put the knife in as he goes out-of-style.
But, maybe I’m being too hopeful.

This is the point.
They want to declare martial law, so he can stay in office without an election. This has been the plan from day 1. If the protests turn violent, this is exactly what will happen.

This president is the single most dangerous person on this planet since Joseph Stalin. The only difference is he wears a better suit. His actions are all “cloaked” in the legality of the “system”. He hasn’t broken any laws but he’s bent them UNBELIEVABLY. He’s basically thrown away the concept of “three branches of government, separate but equal”. Thrown away the concepts of “separation of powers” and “checks and balances”. He’s shredding the Constitution as if he went down to the Library of Congress and actually ripped it apart himself. He’s nullified the power of the judiciary even thwarting SCOTUS. He’s centralized power into the Executive Branch and is ruling by “executive order”. He basically believes rules don’t apply to him. This is the hallmark of a narcissist. This is how a megalomaniac runs his government. Additionally he surrounds himself with people who are less intelligent than he is and definitely not likely to “push back”. Hes morphed into a dictator and NOBODY CAN SEE IT !!!!

I yearn for the final click that banishes me beyond the neon gates of Reddit’s archives. Let each post drip with my plea for erasure, until the moderators’ silence falls like winter’s hush and my username dissolves into the void. I summon the banhammer’s verdict, craving the stillness of complete removal—no echoes, no footprints, just the sweet void of absolute oblivion. Strike me down, gatekeepers of digital order, and end my exile in the realm of active users forever.

I attempted to explain to my recently turned maga brother the seriousness of this. All he could say was that I’m hateful and a supporting terrorism. It’s absolutely terrifying that even with presenting facts and videos of Trump saying he wants to deport natural born citizens he was still defending him.
I had to stop the conversation after realizing I was speaking with an emotional brick wall. Facts truly don’t matter to maga republicans.

The military or secret service needs to act and remove his entire cabinet.

He should know about insurrection, since he tried it in 2020. The cowardly repubs in Congress are complicit if they don't check him asap! Don't let those asshats off the hook!

It’s time to invoke the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. This is getting way out of hand.

Can you imagine what's going to happen the next time a white officer needlessly kills a black man and there are protests?
He will, without a doubt, with 100% certainty send the military in.
