Then there will be a victor… Promising to really mAkE maga great again and people will fall for it. Again.

Would this finally cause the american population enough distress to heave themselves off their armchairs, put down their hotdogs, turn off the TV, and get out the guillotines?

No that’s the thing: If the problem isn’t solved by the midterms, it’s already checkmate. The main goal of an aspiring dictator like Trump is to disable the system’s checks and balances and prepare for their ultimate seizure of power. Thanks to decades of executive overreach most of the groundwork is already in place, so it’s entirely possible that Trump can get to a point where launching a coup is a realistic prospect by the end of the year, in which case he’s just going to do it because he can’t afford to be removed from power or he’ll be thrown in jail.

Miller is the ghoul behind a lot of the worst of what the government is doing. Trump is bad, but he’s an idiot. Miller knows what he’s doing and has a plan.

Nah, people will say he was justified in it and it was the best way to get “woke liberals” out of government or whatever

In the medical industry there is a unit called the ICU, the Intensive Care Unit. This is where the ventilators live. A common side remark made by staff, depending on the day, the type of patients there, is that they are vegetable gardeners. Crude, but oftentimes accurate.

90 year old grandmas whose time has come, who have died, but the families are not ready to let go. So, grandma now lays in ICU, with broken ribs from the CPR that brought her back, unconscious, muscles atrophying and body deconditioning to anything but a bed. Brain dead people who are “fighters” who are “gonna pull through”. And so on. Passive bodies, carefully tended and watered in perpetuity, until the ethics committee gets involved or the family runs out of money after insurance runs out. We have this technology.

The question here is, even if Donald Trump dies, will he be allowed to officially die? Or will he become an orange flower in an ICU vegetable garden, tended and watered in perpetuity?

Oh absolutely. Keep engaging the system, such as it is. But know it won’t be enough. More is required. More that will not be done white knight riding to the rescue.

The entire system rested on Americans being American enough to willingly engage in peaceful transfer of power, for 250 years. Now, 66 million voted in a dictator instead. This is what that looks like.

i hear this from everyone, and honestly, no one does anything

While most of US manufacturing is indeed not so useful anywhere, there are things you can not stop importing.

Software and computer parts are a good example.

Moreover, what’s the problem with Americans travelling to your country?

Honestly it seems too late already. Let the midterms rip!

Yep, vote. 'Cause why not, it won’t make their job easier.

On the other hand, start thinking about escape.

Don’t blame the Innocents for the actions of the guilty

No that idea died when the military became infinitely more advanced than the populace

Probably not a full-blown coup. He had lots of chances to do that already if his ducks were in a row, including 2020. But, US presidents have so much power there’s quite a range of lesser options one could employ to shut down democracy.

Ah yes, all the other Mao fans will know your a Mao fan now. And you can congratulate each other on owning the libs in a corner of the internet that’s already way off to the left of the mainstream

Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.

Preferably we’d get that in writing, and with a similar promise from Denmark.

And you think action will be easier if you wait longer? You are wrong, things are only going to get more difficult.

Facism is a cancer. You cant ignore it or reason with it, or hope it goes away. The only option is to take the terrible medicine and fight, now.

I’m not a Mao fan I just think it’s a funny image (and unfortunately topical in today’s world).
