      I have an answer for that, nothing happens, protests which are put down with the full might and force of the United States Armed Services Posse Commitatus be damned. That’s what happens. I mean, if anyone was at all confused about any of this, after Trump’s first go around, their brains weren’t fully formed, which is why the rest of us on the Left were aghast at all the people saying they weren’t going to vote for Kamala, we knew without a shaddow of doubt there’d be no Democracy left to vote for after he got to sit in the big chair ever again. And now it’s coming to pass.

      For now, we’ll have to see how things go, but if Trump in this administration does things so badly that the Republican Party could risk losing seats to a third party, they’ll have to negotiate with the Democrats, negotiate with the third party, or make a radical change.

      Also, if he does that, it could cause states to hold an amendment convention to add amendments that add, for example, an amendment that executive orders and federal laws cannot remove from the amendments. The presidential pardon will not work with the president and is not valid if he conspires against the government or the coup d’état.

        It’s quaint you think they’ll be any sort of election that could possibly see Trump’s MAGA party losing … literally anything ever again. It’s also fun that you think there are enough states to hold a Constitutional Convention. You are living in dreamland my friend, there was a choice, and we made it on November 6th, a binary choice between Democracy and Fascism, and not enough Democrats bothered to vote, and now, now it’s all over

    Everything is going to be temporary for the next four years, then we’ll see if it’s permanent.
