Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.
It would be so funny if America re-elected Trump after everything. Like, 4 years of tragic, all consuming incompetence, with millions dead from covid. A literal attempted coup after a lost election. And then after 4 years of a milquetoast geriatric Democrat, the country’s like the kid who stuck a fork in the outlet to see what would happen and then a few days later thinks to himself “yeah, it fucking hurt like a sonofabitch last time, but this time if I use TWO forks, something different might happen.”

It really wouldn’t be.
it’s funny in a morbid way. after everything Trump fucked up catastrophically—all the wars he nearly started, all the people he killed through inaction, all the things he tried to do to overthrow the government—it would be very poetic if he just won conventionally. all you could really do at that point is laugh about it.
I respectfully disagree.
I don’t find the end of civilization and the subjugation of minorities and women even morbidly funny.
