That's ok, let's get the police prepared to arrest him 👮
Oh hey look, it's exactly the thing I was talking about when Trump ran for a second term the first time.
"If Trump wins this election, there won't be any more elections."
That was Musk on Biden of course. Nothing could have been more obviously bullshit. But half of your voters still got taken in by it all.
That’s ok let’s get prepared to stop him 🛑 ✋🏾
News flash people, he's not fuckin joking. Arm yourselves while you can.
You motherfuckers are already armed. But he's not black or a child no no one is gonna shoot him anyway

I thought that's why y'all kept sacrificing children to gun violence, but apparently they were to support, not fight, facism. Or at least to have them hanging there while supposedly American values get trampled.

One of the reasons he's so desperate to end the Ukraine War is so he can collect his Nobel Peace Prize, freeing him to start his war with Mexico, and have a draft, essentially enslaving the entire young male demographic so they can't be used against him in a Civil War.
Then he can use the Mexican War as an excuse to suspend elections, even though we've never cancelled an election in our history, not even during the Civil War.
The fact that he lept on Z's remark about no election, illustrated that he's been giving this a lot of thought, wondering what might work as a reasonable excuse. Dems love Zelensky, and he cancelled elections because of the war, so if America is in a war, he can cancel elections, and the Dems will have to accept it. It won't occur to him that there's a difference between fighting a war in a separate country, and fighting a war within your own capital city.
It also won't occur to him that just because something happened in a different country, doesn't mean we have to accept it here. We have a Constitution, that's the rule book, not some nation on the other side of the world.

It boggles my mind that there are still Americans who cling to legalism as some kind of saviour, even after all the months of proof that it is absolutely no barrier to the fascists doing exactly what they want.
Just because they want to pretend the Constitution doesn't exist doesn't mean we have to accept it.
We don't have to match the MAGAs immorality to beat them, we just have to play Hard Ball, and force them to follow the rules, and the rules are the Constitution. If they refuse to follow the rules, we can't just say "Oh well, we tried," and give up. You FORCE them to adhere to those rules, whether they like it or not. And if they won't cooperate, you keep pushing, and you NEVER stop demanding that they follow the rules.
Make them obey, period. You don't disparage those that are advocating for forcing them to follow the Constitution. That's just weak, and that kind of Democratic thinking is what allowed MAGA to rise, take power, and then take power AGAIN!
Too many people do not want violence of any form ever, so they'll just let maga do what they want.
If the rules prohibit something, and they do it anyway, you need to stop them. Much like the paradox of tolerance, the rules are a treaty not a suicide pact.
Being committed to Peace doesn't mean that violence is off the table. It is absolutely last resort, but history often puts humanity in a position of having to defend peaceful people against Monsters who are equally committed to violence and oppression. It's an unfortunate position, but we did not choose this, the Monsters did, and therefore we have to meet them on their terms.
The difference is that if our violence wins, it's over, and Peace is restored. If the Monsters win, they are just getting started.
We have a Constitution, that’s the rule book, not some nation on the other side of the world.
It's just words on paper if not enforced. And Republicans haven't been keen on enforcing it when it comes to him, not specifically but especially.
Enforcing it is the Democrats' responsibility, but Schmuck Schumer is literally the weakest, most cowardly Democratic leader I've seen in my long lifetime. He is so ineffective, and he has become so wealthy from insider trading, that I am honestly starting to suspect that he is working with the MAGA Nazis, or at least actively unopposing them.
His weakness is a major reason that MAGA was able to rise, get elected, and rise again to get elected AGAIN. He is as reliable to MAGA as any of HitlerPig's trusted henchmen.
If Schmuck Schumer isn't a secret MAGA, he is just the same as one. It's long past time to kick him out.
essentially enslaving the entire young male demographic so they can’t be used against him in a Civil War.
Ever heard of mutiny? Because that is how you get a mutiny.
I'm fucking tired of this fucking dumbass and everyone who enables him by saying he's just joking. Sometimes, people are not joking. It's not just a fucking prank, bro. And even if it was? What kind of professional politician just pulls pranks nonstop?
He's never joking. He's a genuine psychopath, he has no sense of humor. He's just learned to pretend like he has one to fool the normal humans without broken personalities. If he says it, he's serious.
He only presents it like a joke to get people used to the idea. Anyone that reacts with outrage at his statements are immediately mocked and denigrated as dramatic nonsensical leftists. Then when they actually do the thing they claimed would never happen, the tune changes from accusing the left of senseless hysteria to them accusing them of being anti-American, Pro-crime, etc etc.
Every step they take with the federalization of armed forces is to get the populace used to the idea of it happening. And, so far, that has been largely successful. So when they actually mobilize, there will be far less pushback.

Hmmmm...
Release the Trump/Epstein files
That’s what this shitfuck does. He ‘jokes’ about an idea, then repeats it until it sounds normal, then does whatever the fuck he wants and nobody does anything about it.
Zelenskyy’s comment about war and instability was NOT BEING THE SIDE THAT STARTED THE WAR.
IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.
anyways, EPSTEIN FILES. WHERE THEY AT?

So did they cancel elections when US invaded Iraq? Afghanistan? Vietnam? Nah… but Trump just wants to cancel elections. He is a dictator. Since there’s nothing and no one stopping him - there’s no reason why he won’t just do it. It’s what 70 million Americans wants anyway.
Maybe he's planning for the next war to be closer to home. Mexico, Panama and Canada should take this seriously.
We are
This isn't a joke it's testing the waters.
He's not testing the waters.
He's normalizing the illegal discourse.

Do it. Let’s pop this shit off already.
He is NOT JOKING. This is his plan.
You think he's deploying the military on US soil because he gives a fuck about law and order? Guess again. He's testing the waters now to see what he can get away with when the time comes.
Federal elections have never been cancelled or postponed in the history of the nation. Not even for the Civil War, or WWII. It's mandated by the constitution.

We've had elections during a war before and we can do it again. Ukrainian laws don't apply to the US.
Yeah, the law pertaining to not holding elections during martial law in Ukraine was created during another person's presidency as well. He didn't make that. (It stemmed from Russias invasion into Ukraine in 2014, law made in 2015). Zelensky didn't become president until 2019.
Release the Trump/Epstein files
He isn't joking and you shouldn't pretend he is
Meh, just hold one without him. Get an electoral college quorum and move the new guy in because it's 100% state driven and he can't change the constitution. Like an old time papacy schism, let God sort it out.
he can’t change the constitution
No, but he's sure proven that he can ignore it. And the Supreme Court will ultimately back him up. And they've already ruled that he can't be charged with anything illegal he does while president (the courts won't even punish him for crimes he was convicted of when not POTUS). And even if they don't rule in his favor he's shown he's willing to ignore the courts when they don't rule in his favor.
If the cops and military side with him- and there is a good chance the majority in both groups are MAGAts, he'll just have people participating in the 'illegal/illegitimate' elections arrested.
If he's still alive in 2028 he will not give up power, I guarantee it.

"by joking" you fucking dumbwits, are you not learning at all? He doesn't care if he can or not, he will bruteforce his way through legislation with his MAGAlitia. They are ALREADY utilizing fear and suppression with their masked terrorists kidnapping people off the streets or posting up next to demonstations. If you are not acting now, tomorrow might already be too late.
lol cool so he just said the quiet part of the playbook out loud.
For those in the back: he’s gonna get the US in to a Serious Fucking War right before the next election so that he can pretend he’s got justification to call off elections.
Pay no mind to the fact that FDR won his third term at the peak of WW2.
Come to think of it: that’s probably why he wants to do it: he knows he probably can’t win another election (putting aside the illegality of running and serving for a third term), and doesn’t want to think about himself being overshadowed by “some old librul Democrat from the 1940s”. And yes, that is a completely serious guesstimate on orangeboi’s rationale for this.
