"We tried nothing and were all out of ideas" is how it comes across.
Fuck this lousy Smarch weather.
And your statement comes across like you’re okay with the ruling party executing their opposition.
I'm not the one who called to execute. But I did call for biden to arrest him and throw the key away.
But the rest of the world saw y'all do nothing, and now how many people lost their lives in war. How many trans people have killed them selves since election day because of his party's anti trans bullshit.
There is a real cost to the nothing that was done. And were all paying it. The rest of the world is sick of it.
Yeah but Kamala Harris was forced upon the Democrats as the party leader. She wasn't elected democratically to lead the party. That's even worse. /s
If he was arrested and put in jail and Americans voted him back in as they did he’d be free anyways.
And your right back to "we tried nothing and were all out of ideas"
Edit: or release the epstine files
We investigated him and it all went to hell when the majority of the country decided to vote him back into office.
This is a more complicated situation then you’re making out to be.
If you jailed him 2021/2022 how would he have even ran from jail?
It’s not illegal to run for president from jail.
Makes it hard to do his rallys and speeches though right?
I’m not sure if that would deter his base they didn’t care that he masterminded Jan 6 even though it was on live tv.
It took more than his base to elect him.
Otherwise how did he loose 2020?
He lost 2020 because people got up and voted Biden.
He won 2024 because people didn’t vote Harris just like he won 2016 because people didn’t vote Clinton.
And you don't think trump being behind bars at the time would do nothing to those voters?
Look, I'd love to live in your fantasy world where its enough to say "its hard uwu" and do nothing.
But biden failed to protect my trans brothers and sisters by making sure him, and everyone one around him, never saw freedom again. But he didn't and no were here.
Here's the thing. The rest of the world no longer fucking cares. Canadians here are stronger than our government on fuck the US.
Your not voting your way out of this. Because even if you do somehow in November, the rest of the world no longer cares to trust y'all again. One way or another, allowing him to even be a candidate was mistake. And until it all burns and is replaced, y'all will never be trusted again.
You can get as mad as you want but I stand by my point that allowing the ruling party to execute or jail their opposition is a very bad idea.
And all I'm saying is standing by that is standing by all the death and destruction that follows. You can deny that all you want. But its never going to go back to stays quo.
So what do you think the solution is if you don’t think we can vote our way out of this?
Don't y'all have the second amendment for this exact purpose?
Congratulations. You got a dictator again. The last king y'all saw you burned the system down and started fresh.
Why not that?
You want a couple people with small arms to go against the US military?
A hunting rifle against a F-35?
Sounds realistic.
"We've tried nothing and were all out of ideas" again.
I’ve seen the US military against Iran and Venezuela and I know I don’t have that kind of firepower.
It’d be suicide to attempt your ideas.
Why is it a Canadians job how to come up with ways to get yourselves out?
Especially when you have resigned yourselves to fascism.
Like I said, I don't care if y'all nuke yourselves for all I care at this point. But no one is coming to save you.
