20 years from now? I think the “maybe” is unnecessary regardless of whether the US ever has free elections again.

Not if he’s a Republican he’s not

safeguards

Maybe you should call them something else?

Sounds like a lot of people need to be dealt with.

The dirt this guy must have on EVERYONE is insane.

He’s one fucking guy, you cowards.

Trump is a symptom. American culture is the cause. The US made Trump, not the other way around.

And yet

Wishful thinking. Americans won’t even fight for their own children.

That’s what happens when your opposition party thinks little weekend parades are sufficient action.

Coward

Company blames tariffs, laid-off truckers blame democrats.

True north, baby

I can’t remember how many signs on street corners it took to stop Hitler. I think it was a lot, though.

I fear that anyone who understands this and doesn’t change their tactics was never particularly bright to begin with.

Hey- all of you who have spent decades talking about how you’re smarter than the ignorant conservatives?

If you can’t outsmart them, what was the fuckin’ point?

What don’t understand is- if the US “left” is so committed to non-violence, why have we not seen a tech-rebellion? Why is there no cyber-“terrorism” or white hat hackers fighting this shit? Democrats have spent the last four decades loudly and proudly insisting that they’re smarter than the ignorant conservatives- so why aren’t they hard at work at outsmarting them?

Without that last resort, violence is going to have to be what it comes down to.

This, or republican representatives growing a spine/conscience, are the only ways this stops.

The first of those is a non-starter, so what I’m saying is, this is the ONLY way this stops.

I’m Canadian who hates guns, and my wife is Bolivian. We live in rural Saskatchewan, but in light of “51st state” talk we have have purchased firearms and hit the gun range a few times in the last couple months. Do we think the two of us can stop the US military, should it come to that? Of course not. Have we had the conversation about what we would do and what we’re willing to sacrifice together for our country? Goddamn right we have. We have a pretty good life and are fairly well off- but we’re both absolutely fine going out together and taking out as many MAGA shitheads out as we can, if needed. If we had young kids the calculus would maybe be a bit different- but we don’t, and it isn’t.

All this to say, if we lived in the US, we would absolutely be armed to the teeth.

It’s a good thing the US hasn’t totally embraced sidestepping the constitution with the very clever and not at all adolescent-brained use of black sites…

Can anyone think of a single thing the administration has done since January that didn’t make the US a clearly worse place than before?

Are you saying someone should warn a bunch of abject cowards off of following the only halfway courageous instinct they’re ever had?
