Meanwhile, Harris is still talking about inviting Republicans into her administration. This shit *is* the Republican Party now.

How laughably stupid are we in the US?

Looks like I’m headed to a concentration camp.
On the bright side when they seize the assets of the people who make all the money, it’ll fix the national debt. Briefly. The resulting destruction of the US economy by removing all the smart people will destroy the US once and for all.

It’s simple: if you fear Donald Trump using military force against you then don’t vote for him.
And for those who are MAGA, he doesn’t care about you, nor will you be immune to his decisions. Just look at all of the people who have gone to jail or been convicted and fined in the name of Trump — he didn’t help any of them. If Putin advises Trump to get rid of all those who own AR-15s so Trump’s mercenaries can have more power, yes, that’ll include you.

Trump has a photo of him shaking hands with Kim Jong Un, takes personal phone calls with Putin, and according to his ex-wife had a book of Hitler speeches on his bedside table.
Of course he wants to be a dictator. Those are the people he admires the most.

To be fair, he always wanted that. He’s just now too frail of mind to not speak the quiet part out loud which is why his minders are trying to keep a tight lid on him.

Sooner or later these headlines need to read “Tens Of Millions Of Free-Willed [Overwhelmingly White] Grown-Ass Adults See Fit To Vote For Candidate Who (Threatens To Use Military On Citizens, Refuses to Act on Climate, Got Roe Overturned, Incited a Riot at the Capitol, etc., etc., etc.)”
And our discourse needs to invert as well. Pointing our finger almost exclusively at the shiny object at the top and hardly at all at the free-willed adults enabling all of this with their votes has really obscured the root cause of this mess. Those who vote Republican are out of control and in the aggregate are a threat to the rest of us. No exaggeration. Trump’s just their current vehicle.

Great article, why isn’t this the lead on all major media? Why isn’t the major news organizations publicly asking him just what the fuck he means by this? Why are Biden and Harris calling a presser to inform the public about this?

Does this mean I now have to marry my Canadian girlfriend to get dual citizenship? In all seriousness I do actually see someone in the greater Toronto area and they seem to think they might shut down the border after the election. I hope she just shares my pessimism about things in the next month and is wrong.

Canadians here and we are terrified if he is elected and also what might happen if he isn’t as well. We are not perfect here by a long shot but never been more grateful to be north of the 49th.

He’s talking about on Election Day. Luckily, he won’t be in command of the military on Election Day.

How is this possible? MAGA so you want a dictator. What happens if they become a dictator that you don’t like. Insanity.

Remember, conservatives’ Project 2025 will “assemble an army of … conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State”, ie, consolidate and put the entire executive branch under the direct control of the president under Article II of the Constitution, based on the controversial unitary executive theory, and reclassify tens of thousands of federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with Trump loyalists. The guardrails of his prior administration will be gone.
Now that SCOTUS has given Trump a get out of jail Golden Ticket, his rhetoric has become more extreme. You will hear his supporters say this is just Trump. He always talks like this. Don’t let them downplay Trump’s behavior, the guy who praises authoritarians and actually did send in the National Guard against peaceful protesters.
Remember, in 2020, Trump sent thousands of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. They were not sent to repel a foreign attack on the nation’s capital but to mobilize against American citizens peacefully protesting the senseless killing of George Floyd. So there is history of this behavior and he’ll do it again against our own citizens.
This happens in third world countries and in dictatorships. It cannot happen in America. Trump can never be let near the Oval Office again. Vote Democrat down the ballot.

Does anyone seriously believe that if this guy wins that 2028 will be a free and fair election? This guy will have National Guard threatening “radical left lunatics” in every swing state on election day 2028.

This is alarming but what is worse is the lack of concern among the American population. We have over 70 million traitors to democracy in this country and no consequences whatsoever for their support of a deranged madman.

>“I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within,” Trump said, deflecting Bartiromo’s baseless suggestion that Chinese immigrants in the country—or rapists—would interfere in the outcome of the election.
The bit about rapists interfering inadvertently cut a little too close for his liking.
