He really could have killed somebody on the street.
Ye gods, America, you had four years and an open-and-shut case and it wasn’t enough to get rid of the orange ghoul.
And just watch the neck breaking speed the Republicans rush through their political persecution cases. I expect to see Democrats in prison by the end of the first or second year.
:(
For what? What crimes can actually be proven in court?
Implying anything needs to be proven in court when the judge is a Trump appointee.
Have you been living under a rock?
I wonder how hard you need to prove anything if the judges issue sentencing without needing much of anything.
I envy your optimism in choosing years instead of months.
All this stuff is going to take years. It will be death by a thousand cuts. The people who are planning this aren’t going to risk moving too fast where constituents of blue states beg for secession.
Hitler went to jail. What good did it serve the Germans?
Yea, guess we shouldn’t even try. What’s your point?
My point is that fascism builds until the root causes and those fanning its flames are rooted out and destroyed ala Napoleon, Mussolini, Hitler; or they burn on and continue to oppress under an authoritarian like Franco, Pinochet or Putin. There aren’t a whole lot of examples in between where an authoritarian relinquishes power after a short term.
I know which one I prefer, and, from example, we can see a little jail time is insufficient.
Shitlibs love making excuses for accepting a tiered “justice” system, they have no points, they just love the taste of boot.
My fellow Americans, if you sat out the election because Harris didn’t excite you enough or she wasn’t perfect, what’s coming from Trump is on you.
And if you voted for Jill Stein because you don’t understand how foreign aid is established (it’s via Congress) or you believed the hype of “genocide” or that Republicans weren’t worth your protests, what’s coming to Gaza is on you.
This is really the worst part of this whole thing. If a ‘normal’ politician with his exact platform had won the election, it wouldn’t feel nearly as bad. It’d still be awful, but not nearly as bad. The fact that he’s getting away with all of this shit, that’s the real kick in the teeth. It’s a complete hemorrhage of justice and it really just hammers home how utterly fucked the system is. There is no justice, unless the perpetrator is poor and/or brown, and that should piss everyone off, regardless of political affiliation.
It does, we should organize before January somehow.
I’ve spent the better part of the last year trying to convince people to hold their nose and vote blue to stop exactly this from happening, and that clearly was for nothing… I’ve got a lot of anger that I’d love to redirect at this new source of outrage. If you’ve got any insights on developing movements to rally around, I’d love to hear about it.
Organize for what, exactly? A big reason he shouldn’t be in office is because he incited an insurrection on January 6 to overturn an election. Any kind of organization to prevent him taking office would also be an attempt to overturn an election.
If you have a different goal in mind, I’m all ears. But I’ve been crying that democracy and elections are sacred and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change my mind because it’s gone the other way.
Seems to me that an election involving a candidate that is inelligble should result in disqualification. The election should have never proceeded with him as a candidate. Can’t be overturning an election if the election was invalid to start with.
