“Rising fascist dictator considered ‘offputting’ to some voters”
He’s mildly distasteful. Also, “geNocIdEjOe” and #BidenIsSoOld…
It’s like people don’t get that the choices this year are democracy or political opponents and those who support them start being defenstrated
Opposition to genocide is valid even when you like who’s supporting it.
The only way to meaningfully oppose genocide this year is voting against ideas like Muslim ban “finish the job” (Donald) “send in the National Guard on those students” “use our weapons to flatten Rafah also” (Mike) and “nuke Gaza” (Lindsey).
Already doing that. Voting for Biden. But anyone who wants me to shut up about genocide can go all the way to hell where the weather’s too good for them.
No one ever said it isn’t.
You put it in sarcastic mixed case. If you think opposition to genocide is valid, act like it for the first time.
Unfortunately fascism isn’t nearly offputting enough to what seems like almost a majority if not even the majority
He definitely wouldn’t leave. He even said it. And the republicans would jump at the concept of appointing, instead of electing, future presidents.
Yep. Actions speak (even) louder than words, and his track record on leaving office without a tantrum is… not great.
Sounds like some other extreme measure to make him leave when his time is up is 100% warranted if he refuses. I could care less if he leaves unharmed.
This begs a question:
Should those of us who do not wish to see Trump back into office support a peaceful succession of power? I am asking this academically, not seriously. It IS something to consider.
As with most situations I’m in the middle for the moment, leaning towards yes to the succession and also yes to mass marches once it is handed over. There are issues with this as well.
Thoughts?
Trump must not be allowed into office under any circumstances. If it comes down to it, Biden should have him assassinated. Fuck the high road; we’ve seen where it gets us.
It doesn’t matter if he refuses, once the next guy is sworn in trump would no longer have any presidential power. Articles like this are fear mongering gas lighting.
But what if Trump’s henchmen refuse to certify the election results where he lost, and refuse to swear in the new guy? Does the new guy get sworn in by a splinter group thereby locking the country with 2 non functional presidents? (Giving Trump even more opportunity to spout more lies that the election was a fraud and the opposing president is trying to take over the country, declaring martial law “for the sake of the country”)
Ofcourse Trump is not going to leave, it will always be a severe downgrade for him if he leaves, he’ll lose so much status, power and opportunity to do what he wants, and gains a chance he loses his freedom/money if he did not get to give himself a get out of jail free card somehow…
He’ll die in the saddle, or make sure someone within his family will take the throne so Trump can stay shielded 'till he dies.
…Take his barely veiled threats seriously…
