So what. You wanted a dictatorship to stop a dictatorship. Once the normal transition of power is not followed its game over for our democracy.
Once people who've sworn to end democracy are given the power to end democracy, then it's game over for democracy.
Preventing a corrupt criminal who's a known agent of a hostile foreign powers from becoming president is a healthy thing to do.
If the electorate in a democracy want to end democracy, then it's game over. You can't save that.
As would be preventing officials voted into office in a democracy but sooner. There is still a chance as of now as he has not stopped elections yet.
nah, it's over. It was gg for elections in November, and so many people like you didn't realize this. It's to late to prevent this. All we can do now is rebuild.
We realize and so do you since you talk of rebuilding.
Congratulations, you just discovered the paradox of tolerance.
And, yeah, essentially, in order to survive, a democratic society cannot allow those who seek to destroy it to participate in the democratic process.
Nope. I have been aware of the paradox of tolerance for awhile and its a little shoehorning to put this situation into it. Your talking about a case of allowing an elected official to take office not tolerating speech.
An elected official who repeatedly stated and demonstrated his intention of preventing any future elections and destroying democracy.
An elected official, therefore, who should never have been allowed to run for office in the first place (this isn't the only reason he shouldn't have been allowed, of course, in a sane country he'd also been unelectable due to his criminal record, lack of any semblance of mental health, and intellectual insufficiency, but it's the most important).
Ill agree he should not have been able to run but that was a failure of congress or in other words other people elected under the democracy to office. Not allowing him to run would have been great but not allowing him to take office when elected would be disastrous.
It would have been many orders of magnitude less disastrous than the alternative.
Sure, cutting off your cancerous hand would've been traumatic. But survivable.
Now, however, said hand is so far up your arse that it's ripped apart your colon in several places and you're bleeding to death while experiencing horrible agony, and spraying all your neighbours with blood and feces.
You could have recovered from getting rid of Trump, but there's no coming back from what you've allowed him to do to your country, and the world.
No. No it would not have. Your talking about doing something trump has not done yet. It would accelerate the problems by putting us at worse case in january of 2025 rather than in late 2026.
Have you been living under a fucking rock‽
no. I have not he has not prevented elected officials from taking office.
🤦♂️
Given the current state of affairs, I'm not clear how a Permanent Biden-o-cracy was supposed to be worse.
Well, thank god we don't officially lose our Democracy for another eighteen months.
its worse because it would be 18 months sooner. Its like climate change. It won't help if we were at 5 degrees now instead of 1.5. That would not fix it.
Weird you would mention that in the context of a presidency that's effectively set himself to the task of nationally Rolling Coal.
its hard to mention anything he is not making worse.
It has always been a dictatorship of the rich.
This is just taking the mask off.
I wanted the traitor coward Merrick Garland to do his motherfucking job and prosecute that POS and throw him in federal prison while making him completely unable to appear on any ballot.
Thanks for asking.
Garland did what he was hired to do. He slow walked the investigations so biden could run against trump again because biden knew he couldn't beat anyone better.
That's right, if it's allowed to happen, it's pretty hard to come back from that
