People who feel they can fuck with elections should also learn what a few years in a cell feels like.
A few? These are the people that did backflips because the left handed out water bottles to voters in line. Put them under the cell, I'm exhausted over the blatant hypocrisy.
How is this guy not in prison already?
Musk 2028
Ok, I'm kidding...
I mean there won't be an election, but that's the future at this point..
No.... it's really not, though.
What's really not? If you think Trump or SCOTUS plan on allowing any sort of actual election to happen you're sadly mistaken...
Barring something drastic happening, we're cooked.
Negative Kimosabe. If that was a real actual possibility the protests would be real, and big and i would be a part of them.
No... if trump goes rouge and tries to stay in power, that is exactly why we bare arms.
I've seen so many now that are expressing great fear like yourself.
that is exactly why we bare arms
I don't know how tank tops will stop trump but you do you. /s
But hey, remember when the overturning of roe v wade was just fear mongering and they wouldn't really do it? How project 2025 wasn't actually what they planned to do? How the supreme court would never grant broad immunity to a president? At this point, assuming Trump would try to keep power past 28 is just good sense.
Ok, I can see what you're saying, but those things compared to Trump seizing control of the White House are much different things. I think yes, many idol worshipping Trumpsters would like Trump to take control, but that's a small group compared to Republicans on the whole. Many Republicans own weapons for this reason. This is a democracy, everyone votes to choose our president. No wanna be dictators allowed.
Trump understands all this, he's not going to start a civil war. If he does anything, I think he might try to make a 3rd term a thing, but he would do it through legal channels.
much different things
In scale maybe, but fundamentally it's all about consolidating power and dismantling democracy.
but he would do it through legal channels.
Why start now? Also nothing short of a constitutional amendment can make that happen legally (unless the Supreme Court declares the constitution unconstitutional, hah). Even if he personally doesn't retain power, I expect Republicans to dismantle the system to the point that they can just install another sycophant.
I don't think you understand what exactly you're suggesting. First, are you an American? It would be more understandable, maybe.
Republicans aren't taking over, Trump isn't taking over. If they were actually trying to take over, the majority of actual Republicans wouldn't have that.
Not sure if you're trolling or not. They're very obviously following Russia's playbook of consolidating power, dismantling the state and handing it to oligarchs, and "flooding the zone" with bullshit so people believe what they want. They probably won't outright claim they're the King and there will be no elections, but they'll probably rig the elections, at least in red states, so the Republican party has control of the federal government in perpetuity; similar to how Russia has "elections." Any media that doesn't toe the line will get labelled as "fake news," and probably have "legal" and financial actions taken against them. I mean, a few days ago, and executive order was signed that, among other things, requires voters to show a birth certificate or passport which will disenfranchise many, many voters. So, no, we won't explicitly have a king, but we will have a totalitarian one-party rule with oligarchs at the top, and an extensive propaganda machine to keep people confused and misdirected. I don't expect voters like the one's that wore the "better Russian than Democrat," to organize in a large militia and fight homeland security, the national guard, or whatever other military the government would deploy on US soil (they're "considering" invoking the Insurrection Act at this very moment). I suspect most Republicans would just be fine with their team being in power, no matter what the cost; and having propaganda legitimizing their beliefs just makes it easier for them. Republican voters surely won't rise up to fight for a Democrat that "lost" an election.
Republicans aren't taking over, Trump isn't taking over.
They're currently deporting permanent residents with no due process in defiance of court orders, ICE arresting citizens, dismantling the epa, social security, replacing the highest levels of government with sycophants, purging govt employees that investigated Jan 6, and of course the aforementioned packed supreme court that has already done incredible damage. There's more but that's just off the top of my head.
If they were actually trying to take over, the majority of actual Republicans wouldn't have that.
Yeah, the peasants are mad. The leopards are eating their faces and they're crying about it in town halls across the country. The representatives don't give a fuck.

What can I say, or what could I say? You drink from the fountain of invisible agendas. Nothing I could say would convince you much of anything. Enjoy your journey
Yeah, I think this would be the best outcome, honestly. Despite the extremely loud, louder than ever detractors, MSM, anti trump at whatever cost folks with TDS... despite them, most Americans watch, see, hear, and understand the good trump is doing. And I could imagine a majority of Americans voting for him a third time. I would, I've decided.
If you are unable to see, understand, and admit any good trump is doing, your opinions are omitable, in my opinion. Many and most educated in America recognize that MSM anymore is controlled by those with anti-American socialist and communist idealization.
Phew... I'm gonna get feel the heat from this one.
You went from denying trump would even do such a thing to pledging to vote for him for an unconstitutional third term, and somehow I'm the deranged one. You're going to be real upset when you learn how tariffs actually work.
Stop blustering the whole we bare arms is just bull shit Americans tell themselves so they don't feel bad when kids kill each other.
Lol right, no, it's literally because we don't want a tyrannical government. Also, look at England, that's what we don't want.
Gives us plenty of time to source the finest woods
Sourced from Canada. Good stuff.
Can you legally pay someone to vote let alone vote a certain way?
How is this fucking legal? Pretty sure buying votes is illegal.
They’re calling for his arrest
Ah yes, I remember when we spend years calling for Trump's arrest, this should go well with speedy results..
Bot? Trumps not even in the title or the picture.
Your reading comprehension could use a bit of work..
Hey dipshit I’m talking about Wisconsin calling for musks arrest. You wanna pull your tits off the window? We’re trying to eat in here.
Saw that, I'm not an optimist but I do have hope!
Just saw your handle, hilarious!
When you're a ~~republican~~ Nazi, they just let you do it.
Did you know that the MAGAites use the term, Cultural Marxism (it is even in Project 2025 documents) which comes from the Nazi German term, Kulturbolschewismus ("Cultural Bolshevism")?
MAGAites are indeed Hitlerites whom are too afraid to call themselves such.
How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days - The Atlantic
Hitler had campaigned on the promise of draining the “parliamentarian swamp”—den parlamentarischen Sumpf—only to find himself now foundering in a quagmire of partisan politics and banging up against constitutional guardrails.
Shameless Snopes plugs:
Did Trump echo Hitler with remark about migrants 'poisoning the blood of our country'?
Yes, Trump posted link that included Nazi symbol for gay men in concentration camps
Did Musk give 'Nazi salute' at Trump's 2025 inauguration rally? Here's what we know
Did Trump once say, "I need the kind of generals Hitler had"?
Musk reposted post that said, "Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn't murder millions of people"
I'm not sure, but there may be a pattern here.
Pretty sure law only applies to certain people sometimes.
So is:
Etc.
grabbing women by the pussy.
This was the moment for me when politics changed globally (I'm Canadian).
Regardless of policy this is when we all decided that you could be a disgusting human being and it didn't matter. I could respect differences of opinion regardless of if your opinion was to build a wall between America and Mexico, but to follow someone who openly admits to sexually assaulting women? Truly shows what his voters, and those who don't vote are about. Disgusting, the whole lot of them.
I'm sure this is rigged. I doubt this asshole would just give anyone free money.
I'm listening to the Brewers game on Sirius, and a trump ad came on for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race and it was all about "We must try to preserve the good things that trump has done for us!"
Me like: what the fuck you smoking? Everything is fucked beyond belief! People are being disappeared, fucking Measles is back, and they are threatening our Canadian neighbors! WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THAT SHIT?!?
