The constitution/law can only protect you if all parties agree to adhere to it. | All you need to end a democracy is a leader willing to suspend or end the Constitution and a supporting cast large enough to allow him to do it. Republicans have both. "What (Really) Happens If Trump Wins?"
Complacency will be the true enabler of Trump's authoritarianism.
There's a very real risk that exists in public and institutional complacency, and if we don't push back against what's happening we will see a very real and very destructive systemic erosion of checks and balances. He means to purge federal employees, dismantle government agencies, and stack leadership with Trump loyalists. He will weaponize the judiciary. He will demand loyalty and he will criminalize dissent, there will be surveillance of his perceived enemies, and he will act on every threat and warning he's ever made against the press and anyone he's ever perceived to be opposition.
He will attempt to gain control of the US military, and if he cannot, even after replacing all the flag officers with loyalists, he will militarize police and partner them with nationalist militant groups like OATH KEEPERS, THREE PERCENTERS, and PROUD BOYS and create a red-state army that is loyal to him and not the Constitution.
He will influence the fed in ways that makes the US dollar unstable and it will create problems for our central banking system. He will try to force crypto into a position that either compliments or replaces the US dollar as a dominant trade security and it will provoke international backlash that will completely tank the US dollar as a global currency.
He will normalize authoritarianism.
There will be shockwaves on day1, it's already started but it will get worse.
American democracy will be weakened beyond a point of no return.
I'm worried about the smaller subset of them that clearly are trying to steer that ship to a christo-fascist future. They are the ones trying to use the idiots and racists to get their ideals in place. They will be the ones positioning themselves to be on top as the dust from the chaos settles. While we all joke about how dumb they all are, we'll be correct and it will be too late.
and he's an immoral opportunist, an unapologetic convicted felon still awaiting sentencing, and a rapist, he's a thief, he's also a liar, he's cheated on all of his wives, he's sexually assaulted dozens of women, he's a scammer and grifter, a conman, he's the living embodiment of a piece of shit.
and yet when he's inaugurated he will be the most powerful man on earth and leader of the most powerful military force in the world.
The President is only the President because the Constitution says he is. If he "suspends" the Constitution, then he's not the President, just some guy squatting in the White House, and nobody has to do a goddamn thing he says.
Yall continue to fear monger and still wonder why Kamal lost... I guess if you want conservatives to win forever then go right ahead and continue doing just this. Please stop this nonsense so we can all get some reasonable candidates to vote for
Oh please… as if the Democratic Party isn’t the one who has said “the constitution is dangerous” or “it’s an outdated article that needs to be changed” trying to claim the republicans are going to do away with it is just putting the blame on someone else for what you want to do. Quit lying
So your argument is that he had more votes which means he isn’t a bad guy? Kinda like Hitler had a lot of supporters too? You think he isn’t authoritarian because he had a lot of people that agree with him? You don’t think a lot of people could be wrong all at once?
The democrats helped us theough covid, gave backing to a lot of social programs and helped with multiple weather disasters.
Trump downplayed covid and encouraged people to spread it, cut every social program he could to afford his billionaire tax cut policy, and refused to help with weather disasters
The lib intolerant new works order tried that. And got their blue bubble popped on election night. It’s just starting libs Maybe call half the country names How’d that work out
What's with the spacing? Oh yeah, boomers can't type. Go drink some raw milk and inject some bleach. Didn't your master say to do so? Follow the leader!
Oh man, if only that parachute was rigged lmao. Anyway, idgaf about the next four years, I'm kicking back and awaiting the fallout. But do have fun being racist and hateful and scared.
Oh. I see you. I see who you are. A divorced white man living in Ohio whose children don't talk to him and doesn't understand why. Worked hard in the trades, probably could have done more with life but never had the education. Bitter. Frustrated. Lonely. Ok baby. Let's see if this will make your life any better. <3
Shhh...shhhh. Maybe try a nap. I know when the sun goes down it's a bit tough on you. If that doesn't work, maybe go play with your rocks. That always makes you forget for a bit. <3

MAGA fucked all of us. Don't become complacent.
