        Holy shit, that’s really, really bad. We all knew he was attempting a coup, but to hear her say that they were going to take over all of the voting machines spells it out.

          And if he gets elected in 2024, I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say democracy is dead. He’ll wipe his ass with the Constitution.

            I’m starting to think it’s just because he’s on the ticket. They’re planning on a coup part deux and talking about it out loud, we have to be prepared for that possibility.

            Democracy only dies if we let it. If it comes down to it, we may have no choice, but to fight the nazis or join their ranks. I’ve made my peace, I have a plan in place. I truly hope we don’t see him re-elected, but we have to be ready if he is.

              Your sentiment is admirable and glad youre willing to fight the fascism but it’s going to be so much more complicated that that, if he’s reelected and there’s any pushback against the ghoulish shit the GOP wants to do at all from states like California, Washington, or Michigan(which there will be), we’re looking at a constitution crisis followed by a multifaceted civil war. And that will make some very strange bedfellows when alliances have to be made for resources or suppressing a common enemy
