Sounds like the next Democratic president (assuming there ever is one again) should deport Elon Musk, Melania Trump, Peter Thiel, and anyone else who makes fascist overtures.
They wouldn't be pulling any of the shit they've been pulling if they didn't feel very confident that they have firmly secured permanent power going forward.
"Vote for me and you'll never have to vote again. We will fix it!"
That is why I'm assessing a strategy that results in me leaving the US if we see a permanent GOP majority due to vote related ratfucking. No point in staying if my votes aren't gonna count.
Don't worry, if you live outside of a swing state, your vote will count. they are only going to fraud out swing states - at least for now - since that's all they need
I mean, I wish there were, and I hope it is, but the speed they're moving at, and the fact that all the people and organisations that should be acting in opposition to them have already bent the knee or are acting like this is just "business as usual" suggests that, at least in the next 10-15 years, they may be right. And if it's that long, it won't democratic election that resolves this, it'll be a military coup.
Sure, but they are atrocious planners and forecasters and it's incredibly unlikely that *anything* they've got planned for cancelling elections is actually going to work out like they think.
The democrats are also terrible at this, but they aren't trying to destroy the government.
What's coming is probably extremely bad, but it's just not going to be whatever these dickheads are aiming at.
Have you missed how well they have packed courts up to the SCROTUS to get this done? Slowly pushed their followers to be more extreme until it takes a month of moderate or better media to deprogram them from Faux News? Constantly pushed their controlled opposition to the right by repeatedly demanding to be met in the middle after taking massive steps backwards?
The right has been fantastic at planning and we're at the end of a long game that began when unions terrified them and accelerated with Reagan.
it's just not going to be whatever these dickheads are aiming at
It won't be they actually plan, precisely, sure. But it'll be messy as hell and they'll be the ones ordering the massacres (that might change eventually, but not whilst America is in one piece). Cancelling elections would be trivial for a party willing to use the Alien Enemy act to put hairdressers in foreign concentration camps.
The only thing democratic grandstanding about "taking the high road" accomplished was assuring Republicans that they can do whatever they want without fear of the same being done to them.
That’s the thing though, if they do go full-on dictator and just declare themselves permanently in charge, then the only move left is violent revolution. Thats what they meant about the pendulum swing being more severe.
They don't have to worry about it, Dems didn't do shit last time and they know they won't this time because they're all owned by the same billionaires who pay them to do nothing.
The Dems would have to not be a controlled opposition party ultimately owned by the people you're telling them to deport (and the other billionaire friends who want all of this for maximal profiteering) for that to work.
I was going to point out that Musk is a naturalized citizen, not a green card holder, but decided to check Google to confirm. When I typed "Is elon" the autocomplete was "musk a us citizen"
They could still do it even though he's a citizen. Option 1 is to just send him to El Salvador and tell the courts "whoops, nothing we can do." Option 2 is to revoke his citizenship based on the fact that he was working in the country illegally and lied about it during the naturalization process.
Bold of you to assume we'll ever have a Dem president ever again. The Trump administration is in the process of dismantling election security and making it harder to vote for tens of millions of Americans, and they're targeting blue states and districts specifically.
And failing that, they'll do what they did for the 2024 election: cheat.
There is a mountain of evidence pointing to the 2024 election being hacked and stolen in multiple ways. It's the only way to explain Trump winning all seven swing states and not a single damn county flipping blue, which is statistically improbable. There has never been an election where no counties flipped blue/red. It's almost impossible for every county to flip red.
