Children are starving and the president is focused on renovating white house bathrooms with gold fixtures. He is certainly following Nero’s footsteps.

    Trump even recently said it’s “pretty clear” he can’t run for a 3rd term.

    Stop perpetuating this doomer nonsense.

    He wouldn’t be desperately trying to gerrymander states to keep Senate seats if he truly thought he was a king.

    Authoritarianism only works when you get so emotionally beaten down that you acquiesce in advance.

      He also said he’d never heard of Project 2025 - until he began to implement it. His supporters had been beating the drum for months.

      He said he believed in states rights - until some states didn’t tow his line.

      He said he can’t run for a third term, but has also said “that’s a shame” and his cronies are beating that drum too “with a plan”

      The gerrymandering is to lock in gop supremacy for once he’s gone.

      I’m more than happy to be proven wrong - hell, I really hope I am, but fool me once…

      It’s not acquiescence, it’s a warning and call to arms. Jan 6 shows us he will go to extreme measures to stay in power. I do not believe he will fail again.
