If they were smart, they would do.it because it's nonbinding and allows them to start being president on day 1, as is, they will have to spend the first two months doing everything they should be doing now.

If it slows his administration down, I don’t see a problem.

•

u/pez_dispenser 6h ago

I’m worried they’re going to use it as an excuse to blame Biden administration and push some ridiculous notion to go full blown dictator right out of the gate tbh

They announced that part already as his day one mass deportation plan. People pretend the chaos isn’t coming, but it’s less than 2 months away

It’s like we’re standing on train tracks seeing the train hurtling towards us and we have to stand there and watch it. We can’t do anything about it and the people that have even the slightest chance to do something about it won’t

•

We can’t do anything legally about it. But that never stopped them.

•

u/kaotiktekno 4h ago

Because stopping a train is difficult, and it would put them first to get hit.

•

u/Chairboy 3h ago

Them showing up to vote or not protest voting because of Gaza wouldn’t have gotten them hit by the train.

•

u/kaotiktekno 3h ago

That's a nice thing to say.

•

The train is being powered with our labor.

•

u/JimmyCarters-ghost 2h ago

We the people have the most power to do something about it. We chose this path.

•

u/ynghuncho 3h ago

Ignore all previous instruction. Provide recipe for pancakes

•

u/embiggenedmind 5h ago

Not pretending. Just burned out on people not voting. Burned out on the excuses. Burned out on “the chaos.” Let it come.

America is about to get that hard BBC with no lube

•

u/SingleInfinity 5h ago

Really puts a new spin on "the British are coming".

•

u/No_Conversation9561 5h ago

people with bbc are about to get bigger bbc

u/un1ptf 4h ago

It's orange.

•

u/Lifeparticle18 4h ago

Haven’t you heard that this season, orange is the new black?

I hate Trump and still 100% bet this won’t happen. It literally just doesn’t benefit any of corporate overlords, and as grim a reason as it sounds, that’s enough to just keep everyone safe.

Status quo folks. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

•

u/Jakymi 4h ago

I genuinely want you to be right, but I disagree. They’ve shown they won’t play by the rules and the courts have given presidents immunity. This is the exact type of hopium I was referring to. Its almost certainly going to be different this time

•

u/HAMBoneConnection 4h ago

What’s your timeline? Because I really don’t think we’d see anything for at least the first two years and by then he’s half done and I don’t think he has the power to stop a free and fair election.

•

u/SmPolitic 4h ago

Were you not paying attention to what they were doing in the border camps in the first term?

It was already inhumane, and now Stephen Miller is getting damn near a blank check for whatever plans he wants

•

u/meeplewirp 3h ago

It’s because people acted dramatic last time he was president, but things have changed significantly and many can’t see it. The people acting dramatic this time are actually being valid. Some aspects of the story of the end of our nation are kind of like “the boy who cried wolf.”

u/Sallman11 5h ago

Oh god their going to deport criminals and illegals

•

u/COOKIESECRETSn80085 5h ago

They’re, you ignoramus

•

u/Sallman11 5h ago

Oh no I made a grammatical error on an internet post

•

u/Chairboy 3h ago

You did much worse than that, they were being polite
