People are paying attention. Problem is, 35-40% of the country likes fascist talking points and would be fine with a dictator, as long as it’s their guy.

Oh no, they’ve been communicating since before 2016. Just look at the changes to party platform for the GOP that year regarding funding to Ukraine. The new policies, which came directly from Trumps people, reversed course on Ukraine and basically adopted pro-Kremlin positions. And it was out of left field…on alot of policy positions, they didn’t comment on shit or even have fully developed positions…but on Ukraine they have a very strong and very pro-Kremlin stance.

Bernie wound up having a far greater political impact in the country than anyone would have believed 10 years ago. He didn’t have to become president to influence a shift…democrats have gotten alot better overall on domestic policy and the way Bernie inspired millions of us to demand this from the dems we vote for was hugely impactful imo.

To this point, the military has remained an independent institution that has followed rule of law–the Iraq War, however awful, was legally authorized (note: I am not saying that soldiers haven’t done illegal things, but the military writ large has been beyond the reach of the president to be wielded like a weapon to do explicitly illegal things).

Trump mused bombing antiquities in his presidency, and the military swiftly responded that they are bound not to follow illegal orders.

My fear now is that if military leadership falls into the wrong hands, immunity can be used to argue that the conduct is no longer considered illegal, or the line becomes so blurred that it ceases to functionally exist.

If that happened under a president like Trump, God help us, every horrible nightmare outcome could be on the table.

I just love how their plan is, “but Kamala is a cop!” and its like, “while yes, and the other guy is a 34 time convicted felon!”. Its like, thanks for pointing that out to America for me bro, couldn’t have drawn the contrast better myself!

Trump wants to be dictator and is talking about a third term and you dipshits still keep on with your divisive nonsense meant to push people into political apathy. Lol this site’s political discourse has been completely hijacked by bad-faith, blame Dems at all costs bullshit.

To those not acting in bad faith, you should vote Biden because at least you know he will peacefully step down when his term is up. Trump will try more J6 style violence to stay in power. Could you imagine 20 years of Trump, or if he appointed one of his kids president?

Pull your head out of your ass and vote Biden.

Biden doesn’t get enough credit for all the good shit he’s spearheaded.
