It’s almost like Trump tried a coup to avoid leaving office the last time around.
Maybe the fear is because he’s hinted towards that and also said that?
Really need to look at both sides here. /s
Undecided voters are concerned that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, he’ll never leave.
And . . . yet they’re undecided??
I don’t . . . is this a . . . I mean . . . WHAT.
Yeah but Biden is a disappointing centrist, so clearly I don’t know how choose between him and an authoritarian dictator.
You make a valid point, but the reason people are undecided is that they they have no properly informed opinions. I hate this narrative that Biden is ineffective. Biden has done a lot of good things. And where congress failed, he found a way to get shit done anyway. People don’t know that because media sucks and their echo chambers don’t tell them. Or alternatively, their expectation about what a president can do in one term is completely unreasonable.
And that is all while ignoring that a republican congress will hold back the entire country for years just to make sure their guy looks better. And it works! People complain about shit not getting done but couldn’t tell you how their representatives voted on those things.
So yeah, pretty much what you said. They think the candidates are roughly the same, but they have no clue how what their candidates do actually affects them.
Tribes, man. Fucking tribes.
Undecided voter is a euphemism for “someone who literally does not give one shit about the world beyond their tiny little bubble in it”.
Worse yet, I am afraid that Trump would die in office, then VP Donald Trump Jr would become President for 2 more terms, then by the time Eric is ready to takeover they will have already held the Constitutional Convention that turns the country into a benevolent Trump oligarchy, in which the title of “President” becomes hereditary, just as the Founders intended.
“Yes, yes. Carry on.” - Samuel Alito
“My new TRUMP Motorcoach is really the talk of the town. Please don’t call it an RV.” - Clarence Thomas
“I’ve found some very strange lint in my navel.” - John Roberts
“Hold my beer!” - Brett Kavanaugh
“Why are you forcing me to wear the handmaid’s dress? I voted the right way!” -Justice Ofjesse
She’d be a Wife rather than a Handmaid, and that’s where she wants to be.
No no, she wants to wear the dress.
The only thing I disagree with is the use of the word benevolent
“Benevolent” being used in the same sense that China is a People’s Republic, or NK is Democratic.
Well, they think they’re beneveolent, at least with regard to the people who they feel deserve it.
He’s already King of Trump Tower, and ofcourse “the bestest American”, so by rights he IS king of America and will lead “his” people accordingly. “King Trumps President in power” and all that, so he now just needs to cement his family line in the role.
I’d find it immensely funny if he now already declared one of his family members as a running mate for VP position 😅
Already can hear the lame excuse: “it is needed now because they are the only ones to be trusted to do their job, for the better of the country” (Ofcourse it’s convenient in the case ol’ Donald is incapacitated for some reason, the one next in line cements the legacy for the century to come…)
8 years into this I find it hard to believe there are any “undecided” voters, I’m willing to bet most of these people have already decided who they’re voting for but they won’t publicly admit it for fear of fallout from their peers.
We see it a lot in Bible Belt States where people are very vocally opposed to abortion access, yet still turn out in staggering numbers to vote for it when it’s on the ballot.There kinda are. Very privileged people who don’t need to pay attention to politics because the fascists aren’t ever targeting them. So they can be clueless and just see the biggest soundbites that make it past political TV. If you haven’t been paying attention to the shitshow, it probably looks a lot tamer. =/
Undecided doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t decided who to vote for. It means they haven’t decided if they’re going to go vote.
Alternatively it means they’re scared to say who they want to vote for because either they’re blue in a red area and are used to hiding it so they’re not shot or they know Trump is a piece of shit but are scared the Dems are going to force everyone to change genders and pee in front of each other.
Is that because he said that’s exactly what he’ll do?
If he gets back in office, he’ll leave in a body bag.
That’s not a threat, I just don’t see him lasting much longer.
Not before establishing a dynastic succession plan though.
Historically, those tend not to last. If they take root at all, they last a matter of months. The adult children aren’t able to harness the cult of personality the same way.
NKorea being one big exception. There aren’t a lot of other examples in modern nation states.
That’s honestly different. They’re figureheads controlled by the army. Remember how the heir apparent was passed over and killed?
… Goldar?
One of those times when you don’t know if the creator was for or against Trump.
And it’s not even just that he won’t leave, since he’s gonna die pretty soon just of “natural” causes, if natural is what we have to wait for. He’ll make changes that permanently affect the role too. Going back to democracy from dictator generally takes extreme violence historically. And generally outside influence. The states becoming a dictatorship is basically setting up world war 3. With a decent chance of the states not being the winner. Especially if Trump is planning on following whatever Putin is feeding him for the changes to make. Cuz we know that would be Putins goal. And all Trump cares about is going down in history, not sure it matters to him what he’s remembered for, or he’s convinced himself, or been convinced this will be seen as a positive move.
Speech to text?
Mine always catches me out on not pronouncing because fully.
Everyone dies one day
Some not soon enough.
Their death won’t undo all the harm they did during their life…

Fears? He’s literally said this directly.
He’s 78 and obese. Dictator for life is like 5 years now.
Problem is that once you have a dictatorship, you don’t suddenly go back to elections and normal politics once the dictator dies — you get the dictator’s kid or friend running things.
Bout half the time since Cromwell
I thought he had 5 years left 8 years ago.
Okay so 4 year term then he becomes dictator for a year, you think that system will let go of that power once in place? Well maybe I’m not one to study thing things but it doesn’t seem likely.
Maybe you should study things. Start with Franco.
I mean the guy’s almost eighty years old, fat, and eats like a toddler. He’s gone on record saying he doesn’t exercise. He’s probably not going to last much longer. What I’m worried about is the damage he definitely will do if he’s reelected.
It’s not Trump the shitheel being president forever that’s necessarily the problem. It’s that he’ll set things up for Trump the idea being president for life. The next person to take the reigns from him, likely someone more competent, will be that US Emperor because of the damage Trump and the Republicans cause.
Yeah, that’s basically what I said.
One can only hope
