    They do realize that they would be the first to go in a fascist coup? The kind Trump’s Project 2025 openly threatens? Right?

      In a full blown military coup they would but that’s not the kind of coup Project 2025 threatens. They’ll be one of the last to go. They’ll constantly ask us to donate and vote while doing absolutely nothing to stop it. Controlled opposition.

        This is correct. They’ll just be voted out one by one as the polls get more and more corrupt. It will seem like democracy until the bitter end.

          Even though Democracy already died 24 years ago when the supreme court gave itself the power to overturn elections.

            Right, history is full of examples of people becoming dictators temporarily and then stopping once they do the one or two things they wanted to do without being held accountable…

            …No, wait, history is full of the opposite of that. When people tell you who they are, believe them.

                I assume this is sarcastic? Ofc wanting them at all is a problem, but much of America will think that’s OK if it’s “temporary”.

              This makes him a dictator in your eyes for wanting to close the border?

                not the person you’re replying to, but maybe it’s less about the border and more about him saying he wants to be a dictator, repeatedly, and refusing to take it back even after his ass kissers ask him to please say he’s not serious.

                  Being a dictator is nearly impossible in America. Everyone calling him Hitler undermines what Hitler actually did, which is not even close to what Trump is doing. Again, It’s a joke… He literally said he wasn’t serious in the video I linked. Don’t know what you mean by ass kissers. The original video from Inside Edition cut off what he said.

                    Man we live in different worlds. So the supreme court ruling and “project 2025” don’t scream dictator to you?

                    dude the supreme court just ruled that they’re literally taking bribes now, and that the president is above the law, and that jan6 rioters were wrongfully charged in many cases. this level of denial is literally insane.

            A “joke” which also dodged the real question. God I love that lecherous, disgusting greedy and vulgar rapist, he’s so funny.

          It doesn’t say anything about removing sitting house members. It says a ton of bad shit, no need to add fake stuff on top.

          Edit: if someone can show me where it says this, I will happily delete this comment (or maybe I’ll delete it in Terror?)
