This country isnt making it to the next presidential election without mass turmoil and unrest. It will be an entirely different place again by then.
2026 is going to be madness. And if Democrats don’t take the house, 2028 will be the end.
I’m pretty sure we’ve crossed that rubicon, the last election was just that. Cross your fingers if you must, but I don’t believe for one second that votes matter anymore in the “united” states.
Stop relying on elections to save you. You can't vote your way out of fascism. The only way out is through mass civil unrest. Strikes, blackouts, protests.
But that point of contention is too important. Dems need to take the house in order to build the narrative that precedes the unrest. It's going to be a lot harder to send that message if they appear too unpopular to do that.
That's why they need to control the media narratives.
And why they want to make negative opinions of the regime illegal.
Once they've made it illegal and can control the media they now have created an environment of fear where no one even trusts their neighbor.
The knock on effect is that it is now harder to organize resistance because even expressing dissent has been outlawed.
We are commenting on a thread about the current president openly interfering in state elections. It can be assumed the elections will be compromised.
Yup.
That and many other moves that can be interpreted as “preparing” for upcoming elections, like deploying troops, buying voting machine manufacturers, …
It is very clear where all this is going. Don’t wait for elections to make your voice heard.
I thought states are in control of elections?
States are. Trump's "monitors" have no authority to go anywhere where the state tells them not to go. They have no authority to "review" or change anything.
But many of those states are run by Republicans who have every incentive to cheat
That's something internal to the state, that the state will have to deal with, like "CyberNinjas." What Trump wants is to directly interfere with election results, using Feds. The law is really clear that the states run their own elections.
I agree. What I'm saying is that Republican run states will allow his fuckery to enable chrating.
Lol "will". GOP fuckery is the only reason Republicans have held power for the last 30 years.
The law is really clear on a lot of things that haven't stopped or slowed the regime.
And we all know Trump and maga are really into following laws and being fair.
They can make up bogus "fraud" claims, then take it to the supreme court, and have them rubber-stamp a republican victory.
California will refuse the court order... and voila... a constitutional crisis.
trump will send in the army and declare martial law, and order the assassination of newsom. Civil war...
Election workers gonna have these jag offs breathing down their necks
I’m liking this guy more and more.
The same guy who had Charlie Kirk on his podcast a little while ago to kiss his ass? Hell no. He’s better than Trump, but a wet pile of dog shit is better than Trump.
He’s a corrupt shitbag. We pay the highest residential energy rates in the entire world here because the regulator is totally captured. Oh, and guess who is a major shareholder of the utility company? What a coincidence.
Can't he kick them out like Florida and Texas did?
Well, they can't have free elections after shitting on all subjects. Imagine a working democratic house and senate actually taking care of Trump...
Wait, that's illegal
