one of the worst cases i've seen. poor bastard
The Unimaginable Horror of a Trump Restoration
The dangers of a second MAGA term go far beyond the White House.
BY DAVID FARIS
It is an overcast, unseasonably warm morning on Wednesday, Nov. 6, and the world has woken up in shock as Donald Trump has emerged as the winner of the U.S. presidential election. America’s cities are once again full of mute, stunned liberals avoiding eye contact with one another on the morning commute, as the grim reality of what Trump might do with this power begins to set in. At his victory speech just after 2 a.m., when the networks called Wisconsin, and thus the election for him, Trump took the stage and declared, “Judgment Day is coming for America’s enemies, and no Marxist, Harvard leftist, gender-radical, illegal, or criminal thug in our great country will be safe come January.” And in some ways that bleak morning might represent the high point of the next four—or 40—years, given what Trump and his allies have in store for us.
This is a worst-case scenario. But it’s far from impossible. A Trump restoration is in the works—and it should feel like an existential threat to everyone who cares about liberal democracy and the incomplete but tangible social, racial, and economic progress that has been made since the New Deal era.
--------------------------------------------------
Who or what exactly would stop Trump from, say, creating a new security apparatus, abducting leftists and political enemies—as he has pledged—and dropping them out of helicopters over the Pacific like the Latin American dictators the far right still worships once did? He could order the hits, then preemptively pardon the people who carry out his orders. That might seem melodramatic and far-fetched. But if the Supreme Court grants him immunity as president, no one could touch him for it legally. And if Republicans simultaneously controlled both chambers of Congress, there would be no impeachment option either. We’ve learned the hard way, far too many times, that a critical mass of elected Republicans will do Trump’s bidding no matter how grotesque his actions.

He already has my vote. You don’t have to convince me.

As usual, they are doing what they are accusing.

Lot of fear for someone who supposedly can’t win, doesn’t do anything, and is a dictator. I’ll never understand it, especially when Biden doesn’t catch half the shite trump does and is exponentially worse of a politician & person.

Can someone quote Trump saying he was going to abduct leftists?
This feller is a loon like the rest of them.

Damn.... He's pretty much described what I think the next 4 years would be if Dems win in '24.
Damn close to what we've experienced last 3 years!
