You only need one day to be a dictator. After that, you are automatically a dictator.
This is probably what he is projecting, when he is talking about ‘the last election we ever have’.
There’s no probably about it. People like him don’t give up power once they have it.
He also needs to stay in the White House to stay out of the big house (prison). The grifting he can do while he sells the US for parts is just a bonus for him.
He’s never going to prison. If it actually ever comes to that, he’ll flee the country to Russia or Saudi Arabia.
Let’s say he was dictator for one day only, just as a fun thought experiment.
That is also awful
Imagine someone walking into your house and saying, “I’m only going to ignore the law for 15 minutes while I’m here tonight.” Sorry, what the absolute fuck. Even if they kept their word that’s a monstrous thing to say, what the fuck are you going to do for those 15 minutes?!
That’s when you kick that fucker out of your house. So America, let’s kick that fucker out of this house.
1776-2016 the US fought against that crap and then we just decided it was all ok because of meme culture or some nonsense.
I mean, we at least said we were against it. Slavery, the trail of tears, the Chinese exclusion act, and internment camps, as well as meddling in other countries’ elections, drone strikes, and border camps aren’t exactly pro-democracy, let alone gerrymandering and voter suppression that have been prevalent in poor and minority communities since they were first allowed to vote. I wish we’d been democratic from the start, but I think MAGAers are just continuing an American pastime.
That’s long enough to declare himself dictator for life and democrats illegal.
Everybody voting for him is consciously a traitor, which is the part that really sucks because even if captain cheese whiz loses, 25% of americans are still the same backstabbing pieces of shit.
Sean, I only want to be a dictator for one day, and I’m going to close the borders and drill, baby drill. But after that, I never want to be a dictator.
The thing with Trump is there’s a chance he actually believes a) this is a reasonable take, and b) he’d be able to accomplish these goals in one day.
I really don’t get how that doesn’t immediately disqualify him for any public office.
His base doesn’t actually care what he says. Somehow, he convinced them he’s a damn genius when he can’t string a sentence together.
I say we give him a chance. It’ll be like all those people that take one hit of meth and set the pipe down and say ‘ya, this isn’t really hitting the spot for me’.
/s if I didn’t slather it on hard enough
I do wonder, though, what they’d do when
crops are left rotting in fields and houses and buildings aren’t rebuilt after disasters because all undocumented immigrants have been reported;
after LGBT+ folks hide themselves and “fit in” for safety like it’s the 1950s;
when there are masses of unemployed young people born after abortion and contraception are outlawed living in a nation unequipped to handle them;
after the education and environmental protection systems cease to exist and the country falls behind in every metric of a developed nation from an absence of knowledge pools and poison in everything.
What will they do after creating an environment that fosters stability, innovation, and a thriving society like we saw in the mid-2010’s Middle East. It sure sounds like a great and prosperous future, doesn’t it. Right?..
In order:
Use prisoners to do the labor
Crackdowns, secret police, and full on lavender scare shit
Drive them to crime then imprison them to use for labor
Why would they care? They’re planning to be in charge
Fascists do nothing but destroy their homes and neighbors. They will make everyone miserable and their plans will suck, but so long as they can stay angry, indignant, and targeting someone they don’t care that they just got their country turned to rubble.
