A thing to do in your own mind is when you assert, trump is going to change thing A to thing B, go figure out what thing A is and try to divine how he's going to change it to thing B. A SOS can just say "lol no" and what is he going to do?

If your answer lands on, "Ultimately, Trump will use the military and start shooting people" - which is where it will probably will go, you are not being a serious person.

He’s said a lot of nonsense. Remember we were taking over Greenland and making Canada a state. Just because he says something doesn’t make it true. He lies like 90% of the time.

Sure but he’s not in charge of greenland or canada, he’s in charge of the military. Being a demented old weirdo about wanting to be seen expanding US territory isnt an important step towards doing it. Being president and wanting to shoot US citizens is

That’s fine. Sit in your doomer corner. All you do is give him power he doesn’t have.

I’m sorry that you can’t understand why what you post on social media matters.

Think a lot of this is people thinking things being chaotic as being the worst thing they could be, which is not the case! surrender is very orderly

I mean...after a certain point, no; complete and utter breakdown of society with no infrastructure whatsoever and armed goons running all over the place and doing whatever they can get away with would also be pretty bad, just saying.

It's not just internet randos who are spreading this shit anymore. If it'll keep going, dems will do fine scaring and suppressing their own voters while having media portray them as alarmist loons. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I think this might be two different things. One group is "ALL IS LOST WE ARE DOOOOMED DOOOOOOOOMED" Another, Which the great Kahn of the plains is an example of, is saying Trump wants to do this. And I think that's accurate. But it would be terrible for Trump if he does.

I would be more generous here if he hasn't spent last several weeks saying that redistricting is on the table, just to wait out and do nothing until it became impossible (filling deadline approaching). It's pretty obvious he's just saying stuff to court the resister vote.

Okay, got it. Makes sense now.

My view is that eventually he will try this, and the military establishment, who hate him, will just flat-out refuse. My theory is that most of the lower command and mid-grade officers are opposed, but just don't think they can win a court-martial. Trump demanding obviously illegal shit changes that

my view is "eventually" is also pacing a crocodile with a ticking clock in its stomach that dogs his heels and we all watch avidly. and that if Trump has little chance of getting a military dictatorship to take hold, Vance has no chance at all. I hope i'm right.

The thing is, we have Foreign Affairs magazine publishing serious scholars making the Weimar comparison. No wonder things are the way they are.

It’s what happened in 2020. States control their own elections, and “they will jealously guard their own power” did work in that case. And he will never, ever forgive us for that.
