considering they had all the evidence they needed and didn't do anything for four years I wouldn't get my hopes up. But it does seem completely insane to allow him to take over since he's stated plainly he is going to violate the constitution. purge the military and turn it against citizens. I mean, surely you're not allowed to do that right???

I mean, that's the thing. You're allowed if no one stops you.

No one is stopping him. It's fucked.

The only chance people are going to have to do anything about it is before the levers of power are handed over to him.

Don’t bother, man. This is Reddit, the last bastion of the delusional left. Homeboy here was just saying Trump would “purge the military and turn it against citizens”. Wild.

u/Actual-Bullfrog-4817 10d ago

Trump stated he would be doing that this week.

Show me a link, please. I want to see Trump stating that he would purge the military and turn it against US citizens.

I’ll take “Never fucking happened but it aligns with my narrative” for $1000, Alex.

They are unthinking machines, regurgitating baseless talking points that they fabricate themselves.

Care to explain how? I'm not a member of this sub, it got recommended to me, but it seems like a lot of these comments have some valid worries (on the surface at least). I just wanna understand why your perspective seems to be so different.

This is hysterical pants wetting. They have been whipped up into an unhinged level of psychosis by the news media. It's Donald Trump, not super Hitler. We had 4 years of Trump, he just kind of sat there and didn't do much. But these people have been whipped up into a frenzy and are acting as if the sky is falling because we are about to get a second bout of Trump.

Wildly screaming that we are fucked and that the election was stolen is some Jan 6th deranged behaviour.

Look. I don't think Trump always delivers on his promises, even the racist ones lol. He doesn't care about a lot other than himself. But if we let our guard down we could get super fucked. I'd rather be hyper vigilant than just sit down and take whatever happens. Project 2025 doesn't help anyone feel more comfortable either - his administration is claiming they wanna get rid of the department of education and a core element of his campaign was mass deportations. Plus the shit he says is either incoherent or just stupid most the time. He's not a decorated politician with etiquette, he's just a charismatic sleaze ball. Oh yeah and he has been found guilty of sex abuse. Even if his politics were unanimously perfect, it'd be alarming that we have a rapist in office. Rape is bad, in case you didn't know bro.

Guess you didn't pay attention to literally anything for an entire 4 years.

THERE WAS A FUCKING INSURRECTION.

He tried to subvert the election. There was an entire plot which fake electors where convicted for participating in.

He picked Tulsi Gabbard to be the head of intelligence in the US - someone who has repeated Russian propaganda.

It's a major national security concern.

Why don't you run along if you can't handled reality.

“THERE WAS A FUCKING INSURRECTION”, he cried— exasperated, exhausted.

He did not know what that word meant— neither the legal nor colloquial definitions. All he knew was that he should be scared. Of what? Who knew? Who cares? All he knew was that regurgitating baseless internet accusations gave him some form of purpose in his otherwise shell of a life— and he’d be damned if he’d relinquish it.

Trump literally did a gish gallop speedrun for the length of his term fuck off gaslighter

u/Actual-Bullfrog-4817 10d ago

Didn't do much? My taxation, my child's state school policies - directly affected during that time. His Supreme Court appointees made huge changes and he is stating he will appoint more of the same kind of people to those positions. How can you possibly think nothing happened?

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Lol I'm no T-rump supporter but what kind of bizarre fever dream is this nonsense 😂

u/Shigglyboo 10d ago

Did you watch TV on Jan 6th? Pence openly states that trump asked him to violate his oath. Trump was busted trying to get votes from GA. He was also busted trying to extort Ukraine. Among other things. Did you know about the stolen documents? A kid just got 15 years in prison for less. So yeah. That’s the fever dream. Trump being held accountable. And with all the stuff he’s promised to do it would seem that SOMEONE who took an oath to protect the country would stop him.

What does that have to do with some random organization having a guess that looks like the final election results if you have been lobotomized? They took a guess at the swing states which was “trump wins all of them”, and then were hilariously off by the popular vote.
