Disagree. Don’t buy into the fearmongering. No way will we just watch it happen. trump will probably have died or been removed before 2028. His Alzheimer’s is escalating and half the rightwingers can’t stand Vance. We’ll still have elections. Don’t roll over and just give in to worst case scenarios.

Go rollover and play dead then. Stop with this capitulation in advance. You’re not helping anyone.

I don’t know, I taught some of my trans friends how to shoot and maintain firearms this week. Kinda the opposite of rolling over and playing dead.

Well, good then. Putting hopeless statements out there like you did is what they want. They revel in it. We cannot do that.

Since you’re not paying me, you don’t get to tell me what to do. If you dislike my content feel free to block.

Ok big guy. Thanks for the hot tip. 😂

don't comply in advance, sad sack.

That’s what I’m afraid of.

Well if you're posting on here, I doubt you truly believe its over. Take some time off and come back with some of that piss n vinegar we need in the fight to come

I hope for all our sakes that you’re wrong.

🍊🤡 said he will fix it so you do not need to vote .

Historically speaking, when fascists come to power, approximately 90% of the population tends to go a long with it.

and you're one of them

someone who wasn't cozy and secure in the belief that his little pink dick will protect him from fascist harm wouldn't be shilling for them for free. I intend to fight for free elections, what about you, stumpy?

What the fuck are you even talking about?? I was punching Nazis before I had a drivers license.

Historically speaking powerful leaders don't spend half their time playing golf. This is going to suck. But just like last time it'll be incompetence and lack of leadership. He never gets anything done.

He got the wall built, from the Pacific Ocean to Gulf of Mexico!!! Oh...wait...that's right...he didn't.

It’s not just Trump we have to worry about though

Don’t be part of the 90%

Historically speaking, and I'm referencing Ruth Ben-Ghiat, the best times to take down authoritarian regimes--and they DO get taken down--is at the end and also at the beginning. We are at the beginning. We must give it our all.

Diversity is our strength against fascism. Historical examples of fascism are in countries that have a mostly singular national identity, shared language & history (Germans, Russians, Italians, etc.) Not one had our incredible diversity!!

When the leading ask on Google and Bing are “How do I change my vote” makes me think America won’t stand for it.

90% of the population sure as hell aren’t going to go along with it.

I'm going to go out on a limb & agree with the guy who can spell along!

90% of counties did.

41% already did when they refrained from voting.

Imagine if EVERY US citizen whose vote was not counted - filed a complaint and requested a recount www.usa.gov/voter-fraud

Would you say America is one of the more violent countries in the world?

I don’t believe they refrained this election tbh. I think things were made to appear this way- it’s why Trump is in a hurry to be inaugurated prior to 1/20

Painful lesson coming their way

And they hate it when you point that out

Exactly

Well maybe this will be the “LESSON of our lifetime!”

If all the polls got closed down in your area & you don't have a car. It's not a choice. Republicans have engaged in voter suppression & racial gerrymandering for decades. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

He won on thin margins. Obama won by much larger margins. Reagan even more than that. Trump can't even carry the Republicans down ballot. Let's not make more of this than what it is.

I agree. Dictators only have as much power as the people around them allow them to have.

I admire your positivity but half the country doesn’t care if we have a fascist in power or not and half of the other half wants a fascist in power.

And the Democratic voters failed to show up during midterms to help support Obama and Biden and they failed to vote against Trump the first time and the third time. If Dems voters can't consistently back their side why do you think anyone else will revolt against GOP?

GOP won the Senate and the House will be within two seats. He carried down ballot just fine.

that's by a fucking hair. a LOT of ballots read "Blue, except for trump" which I still find statistically weird

Dems won many statewide races and ballot initiatives in states that Trump carried, which says a lot

Yeah, it says that people won't vote for a black woman or when Dems actually push progressive policies. Or that a lot of ppl were just putting Trump on the ballot not doing down ballot races. Probably both.

For the amount of abortion initiatives that got passed, yet Harris lost, it tells you there were a lot of split ticket voters which makes no sense unless they just hate liberals that much, or a lot of males showed up specifically to vote for trump.

2018 midterms

2018 ppl showed up to stop Trump. Both Obama and Biden lost Congress in their second halves of their terms due to low turnout.

By a hair.

Still did though.

My original point still stands. Not sure what you're arguing.

A victory is a victory. Democrats are apathetic, generally.

My original point remains.

Dooooom give up be paassssssssive

Not compared to the power he had after 2016. When Trump was 1st inaugurated in Jan. 2017, the GOP at that point had the most power that they'd got in DC since the 1920s. Also,whites & blacks voted more for Kamala than Biden. It was Hispanics had the huge shift to the Right. GOP is a powder keg.

Well..to be fair...it was mostly men. But yes..you are correct

Democratic voters showed up just fine in 2018, 2020 and 2022. I don't really get why they didn't this time. But I'm sure they will again. Assuming Republicans don't cancel elections, 2026 and 2028 won't be pretty for them.

2022 turnout was down from 2018 and midterms. www.brookings.edu/articles/new...

Yes, but that was supposed to happen. It was the midterms. And yet it wasn’t nearly as brutal as 2018, 2014, 2010 or 2006 had been for the in-party. (One reason, I think, for fact that Biden tried to cling on, which actually was desastrous for the Dems.)

Conservative voters show up just the same amount of people in midterms as they do on the presidential elections. It's Democrats that don't show up. If Democrats were consistent with their voting habits, our presidents wouldn't lose power two years into their term and we'd get more accomplished.

How can Republicans cancel elections? I understand the dread, but they are run by the states so I don’t understand the logistics. Leftists need to learn to show up every time, that is the only way we will shift the Overton window in the direction we want.

Maam they won the white house, senate , house. I DONT believe there is a way for them to win more.

You must be slow.

Do not comply in advance.

Lay down and die then. Typical guy behavior. Meanwhile… We rise

Yep. That’s what guys always look like. Have a great day!! 💙

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension buddy.

I’m afraid you might be right. If Trump is not stopped and is allowed to stretch the limits of the Constitution to no end and to cause chaos and distress in the country, he might just suspend 2028 elections.

Yep, I think it was America's last election too. A dictator was just elected, what do they think is going to happen. He'll hand it down to Baron🤷

Not with that attitude. No excuses.

Oh, there will be a next time. America isn't a country that likes to be oppressed.
