Also accepted a free plane that’s going to cost nearly a billion dollars to remake as Air Force one so he can use it for less than a year before his term is supposed to end. Not that he cares, but I totally agree that he, and his party, are expecting him to stay for longer. We’re like six months away from a big Trump sign on the White House lawn.

We’re in this until his shitty diet, substance abuse, lack of exercise, and age catch up with him.

And there is absolutely nothing the people can do?

The only solace I have is thinking he'll drop dead sooner than 4 years from all those issues.

My prediction is they'll train an LLM on all his speeches and put before the supreme court that it can be president because it executes his will.

Well, there have been instances where they were forcefully removed and imprisoned, but those are outliers.

Anyone that thinks this ends with Trump is delusional. If we still have the illusion of democracy in 2028 the polls will be "guarded" by ICE to "ensure a democratic process".

It won't matter if it's Trump or an even more fascist candidate. The oligarchs have decided that they are supporting fascist. This is our new normal.

Couch couch? I hope Vance isn't nearby.

A time limit? I admire your optimism.

Our Oligarchs decided they were willing to support fascist. So we got a fascist. We don't live in a democracy. We live in a dictatorship of the ruling class and the wealthy.

You do realize what you're saying would've required the Democrats to win every single election until the end of eternity right? Do you seriously think even the next two elections were winnable with the current DNC?

It was not a legitimate election. Americans didn’t fail anything beyond letting a dictator be born due to their own lack of political education. But they did not vote for this in reality.

I don’t mean to be negative but you need to prepare for all of this to go sideways.

This situation will likely not lead to any type of meaningful midterm. Trump is not going to be leaving by his own volition. This is far worse than what most people can wrap their minds around right now. The DC move will be replicated in other cities soon, and the real bullshit will begin. When we did not prosecute Trump for his coup attempt, it was always going to lead here.

Midterms won’t be how you win America back, I fear.

No, 2024 was the last chance to stop Trump. There is no electoral solution to a fascist dictatorship. The only thing you can do in the midterms is get people who won't meekly give in to every abuse of power, or who will rebuild after Trump dies instead of giving all control to oligarchs. We cannot end this nightmare unless Trump is dead, as he will never leave his new throne alive.

A) Democrats have been winning local elections since Trump got in. Many people online have been whining “Why aren’t republican voters changing their mind” when the reality is many have been doing so ever since Elon’s Nazi salute - they’re just not loud about it.

B) I still haven’t seen direct evidence of election tampering. There have been claims by professionals that it ‘could’ have happened, which snaps up clicks. There’s a price to claiming fraud when there wasn’t any, since whatever approach you want to use to defeat fascism will require mass action - but if you haven’t convinced the populace of your side, mass action is doomed anyway.
