In 2016 I thought That’s it, the US is headed for a civil war 2.0 in the next 10 years. I don’t believe that now because no one seems to be doing anything to resist this destruction of democracy by the silicon valley billionaires.
Move fast and break things will be easy for them if nobody even tries to slow them down.
you were too early in your predictions: trump is going to be pushed out in favor of vance and musk is going to vp.
Assuming they don’t throw away the constitution that their base likes to jerk off too, how would musk qualify? He’s not American born. That and being over 35 are pretty much the only requirements.
Trump doesn’t qualify either. Their base only cares about the 1st amendment (when it’s their speech) and the 2nd when it comes to owning guns (to hell with the “well regulated” bit). They don’t even know what any other parts of the constitution say.
they won’t throw away the constitution; they’ll modify it and a whole range of laws and rules that will enable musk and a bunch of other things that will become permanent from now on.
that’s some “woke” agenda there if I had to use the same term they made.
What if muskrat becomes Speaker of the House and trump and vance both resign? Is that a legal loophole to get a non-native (naturalized) US citizen into the presidency?
Trump found his Beria
Hmm, there may be a long game going on here. Making Elon the Speaker is total nonsense, of course. But if enough Republicans insist, and we have another protracted Speaker battle, it may go past Jan 6, when the Electoral Votes are counted. Can they even be counted if there is no Speaker to convene the House? If they are not counted, it goes to a contingent election. But can there even be a contingent election in the House if there is no Speaker?
Keep this up long enough, and we end up with President Vance. Boy, will that make Trump upset. All his cases that are “on hold” start up again. And the new President starts his immigration crackdown with one very visible illegal immigrant who broke the rules when he came here…
