Don’t be obtuse.

Probably not!

They will continue to escalate things until they take a major action like the Nazis did with the Night of Long Knives. It’s just a matter of what that will be. I’m expecting something with Mexico. Since he has started talking about military incursions to deal with cartels, if applied to the strategy aforementioned, he’s conditioning the public to get used to the idea. Then, when he invades Mexico and pisses off even more Americans, I think they’re expecting riots in response. Once the riots happen, he will send in military not to occupy cities but to completely take them over.

No. I will vote for a candidate that has a chance. If the presidential candidate is a socialist and has a chance, absolutely. Otherwise, I’ll be voting for whatever isn’t Trump or MAGA.

What’s making the Democrats fascist? Clearly the Trump administration is fascist. But the Democrats? That’s a bit of a stretch.

Train my replacement? No. I think today is my last day instead.

He only presents it like a joke to get people used to the idea. Anyone that reacts with outrage at his statements are immediately mocked and denigrated as dramatic nonsensical leftists. Then when they actually do the thing they claimed would never happen, the tune changes from accusing the left of senseless hysteria to them accusing them of being anti-American, Pro-crime, etc etc.

Every step they take with the federalization of armed forces is to get the populace used to the idea of it happening. And, so far, that has been largely successful. So when they actually mobilize, there will be far less pushback.

We aren’t talking about city council…we are talking about the presidential election which has now turned America into an outright fascist police state.

Refusing to vote instead of voting for the clearly better option is absolutely pathetic. Yes. Making posts cussing at people and accusing them of helping Trump get power and in other posts making statements that they themselves won’t vote in the presidential election if it’s not their perfect candidate.

Pathetic.

That’s literally what you’re saying… The vast majority of us agree on the bullet points and are very frustrated by the state of the US system… but in the face of what we are dealing with, we really don’t have the luxury of only voting for the perfect candidate. We know the Democrats suck. We get it. Lame Democrats or Authoritarian Republicans. Terrible options but clearly one is better than the other.

So you’ll make sure your vote doesn’t count. Nice strat! Really gonna achieve change there big guy. Lol.

Yeah, maybe try non participation like this other guy. You can only live out the fantasy for so long before you have to vote for a less ideal candidate. And trying something else is??? Voting for a different primary candidate? Or you’re saying sitting out is trying something else? Either way, the stance is milquetoast.

Rofl that’s so pathetic.

Yeah, you’re right, better to back the GOP instead.

The left is so fractured and infested with idealists that they can’t be fucked to vote for someone that is 80% of what they want vs 10% of what they want. That’s what this whole thing boils down to. We have two parties. That’s it. If we had a system like Germany we may be able to create change. We can’t here. Lesser of two evils is the only option.

So let’s say it does come down to Newsom v Vance. You really going to sit it out?

Get over it or the GOP wins again.

The right does not think this is fascism. So, there goes that fantasy.

There has to be economic pain so bad that they can’t refute it anymore. That’s our only hope.

That or Trump dying before the end of his term.

Gotta break stuff to achieve change.

He has already meddled in the Ukraine war doing things like this, too. He turned off Starlink during an offensive Ukrainian mission. He claims he had to because civilian systems aren’t allowed to be used for a foreign incursion into Russia and that he’d face consequences. Which is a complete lie.
