Former GOP strategist Rick Wilson unleashed a scathing attack Monday on Donald Trump, calling the former president a threat to American democracy itself, and making the case for forcible removal if Trump doesn’t willingly leave.In a fiery piece titled “Declaration of Independence From The Mad King,”…
What alarms me most is how none of the warnings are heeded or heard by lawmakers. Nobody can do anything about it.
Let’s say he doesn’t suspend elections in November. Let’s say we flip both the House and the Senate. Does anybody honestly believe they’ll enact restrictions, precautions, or any other measures to prevent something like this from happening again? Sure, there will be a couple of things passed… But nobody will go to jail, no enforcement will happen, nothing.
I’ve said it before, the damage has been done, the current status quo will not go away.
Flip the house, flip everything, at best the regime will ignore it all …
In the short term there will be no repercussions for the regime to go on unhindered. Heck they already mostly ignore congress as it is right now.
2028 will not bring a peaceful transition, ALL those in power now can’t afford to let it go, not only will it ruin their plans if they do, it will also bring possible criminal investigations into their self enrichment and other damaging actions. There can not be a single scapegoat so the pact will stay close to protect the whole.
The only ones to bring this all to a sudden halt with the least victims and uproar is the army, and then the whining starts:
“I was just following orders”.
If by a miracle the regime does fall unexpectedly I expect a carte blanche pardon for those in control now.
I suspect the population needs to see nothing happen if they vote in a blue wave, and I suspect it’s going to need to get worse… not that I don’t support voting, but right now there’s still too much faith that the system will correct itself. If you aren’t constantly consuming political news, you might think the lip service is actually doing something, and with the constant barrage of shit, people can honestly be forgiven too since extent for not knowing exactly how things are playing out with challenges and stuff.
It would be nice if it did correct course with voting, but I don’t think it will. At least not without a bigger shakeup (like actually progressives in place of dinos, flipping gerrymandered red districts, etc.) than 2026 midterms are likely to deliver…
Exactly both sides are equally complicit In this coup and need to be treated as such. They need to be walked to the trials all together
Like they are actively and maliciously forfeiting their oath to protect the constitution and should be tried for treason
Trump is clearly fucking incapacitated. He needs to be removed under the 25th amendment. But what I see is either an utter lack of strategy, or a strategy of letting the republicans hang themselves (and all U.S. legitimacy along with it) in favor of letting things get to point where a midterm sweep seems likely. Ineptitude or callous political math. Feels like a greasy handshake from someone you know just spent all day alone.
Do you know why Republicans do exactly what the regime wants? It’s because Trump has a cult, that is exceedingly violent and unhinged. They threaten to murder their congresspeople, rape their wives, kill their children, burn their houses down. I’m not even kidding, look it up for yourself. Straight domestic terrorism stuff. Many Republicans are acting out of fear of their constituents, and it’s extremely effective. So…
What I’m hearing is that the politicians need to be made even more scared of the rest of us.
lol that’s one interpretation
The worst part is that they fucking knew this long before it was a problem you could actually point at.
They were warned, they just thought they wouldn’t be in front of the barrel and they thought they were sacrificing you and I instead of themselves, you, and I.
Fuck them, they deserve the fear.
