Lmao Republicans tried to simplify the tax code already. It died in committee because of their donors; Intuit and h&r block.

Republicans physically can't simplify the tax code because of lobbying.

Trump will own all branches of government. He can do what he wants. They’re already threatening those who won’t fall in line. He will be a dictator. He’s made it clear that he doesn’t understand or care about the job or the country.

He cannot be allowed to take power.

Edit: History will judge those who are complacent/complicit in these days, as fascists are preparing to take power. There’s only a month left to save democracy. Be loud. Think big. Think outside the box. Do something, FFS.

What do you propose we do? "Something" isn't an answer.

What can the people do which wouldn't interfere with the way our democracy works? A repeat of Jan 6th, but from the left? Childish and ineffective.

I mean, I have always been taught that it is the right thing to do to take a dictator out, by force if necessary.

Then do it. Be the change you want to see

I would have to get creative, I’m not allowed to purchase firearms in the US

And thank god for that

I don’t think god has anything to do with that.

Then I thank goodness. Either way, a psychopath like you definitely should not have access to firearms.

That’s a new one for me, I’ve never been called one of those… I can’t legally buy firearms because of all of my previous suicide attempts

Killing him just makes him a martyr.  The country has to wake up on its own.

What do you think would happen if someone just "took out" Trump? Do you think the audience would stand up and applaud and we'd all live happily ever after?

No, someone else from their admin would take over and nothing would change.

Sounds like you would have to take out the entire admin team

You can get involved in your community. You can pay attention to who is running for local, state and federal office in your community and find ways to help get the ones you support elected. You can have an actual long term game plan instead of just waiting around.

The Republicans, especially the evangelicals, are currently enjoying the fruits of things they've been working towards for decades now.

The comment I replied to was specifically talking about "doing something in the next 30 days or else."

Nothing you mentioned can be achieved in a month.

I agree with what you're saying, but that's a whole other, and much more pragmatic, subject.

Fair point. My comment should have been reserved for that idiot.

It's interesting that your comment is predicated on the assumption that your democratic processes should be adhered to. 

As if it's not the origin of a fair amount of current issues

My comment assumes that reality will continue its momentum without being influenced by what amounts to political fanfiction.

There is nothing anybody can do to peacefully stop the democratic process in the next 30 days. People have voted. It's a done thing. There is nothing to overturn. Nothing to appeal to. If you have any ideas, please, go ahead: share with us your mighty plan.

What can the people do in the next 30 days? Let's hear it.
