Do you think that we’re going to go into a dictatorship?

[Anonymous]

A lot of people feel as if if Trump wants to take voting away, and the power won’t be with the people anymore

Look at the end of the day we get who we get, but it’s about to be some strange times whoever it’s going to be

[NaultD]

Our checks and balances are being pushed to the limits, but I'm still optimistic. Don is even talking about some secret plan to take over. If Republicans win the House of Representatives, they will not certify the election and turn to the Supreme Court to do something about election interference.

From there the supreme court will have no standing with no evidence of anything. A very extreme constitutional emergency but even the weakest milk toast liberal is going full ham towards the courts.

Let's remember January 6th and let's say rioters won holding congress at gun point saying don won. Does anyone with a brain believe them? Globally does anyone believe them?

Lot of turmoil and people left out in the wind getting hurt even killed but dictatorship won't round homeplate.

[Asker]

It does have to go through a lot of rhetoric. but like chess putting the right people in the right positions that you want can be a power-play in who knows

[Sabretooth]

I'll give Trump the opportunity to make his own argument:

and these don't cover what's been reported that he's said and his attacks on the media that have resulted in attempts and I'm sure that there's a lot that I've missed.

[Asker]

That may be, but there are other videos and what about the point of the purge

[Sabretooth]

It's a stupid move that would threaten innocent lives!

[Asker]

And you don’t think he would do it

[Sabretooth]

Oh, no. He's a sociopathic madman. He delights in chaos and he won't care who's side that you're on. He's been stirring up hatred and violence for years. If he has it his way, he'll see the world burn before he dies. Trump is a pathological liar but what he Is honest about is the harm he intends to cause. Throughout his first presidency, he made his mission to dismantle our system of government. Not only does he not care, he's incapable of caring about anything beyond himself.

[Asker]

But that’s the thing most present inherit whatever was left by the previous president so whatever was left him the other President had to clean up

[Sabretooth]

last time, we lost over a million people due to a pandemic that he ignored. and now, those abortion bans. look, I don't approve of abortions... however, this isn't morality -- woman are suffering and dying from non-viable pregnancies. in truth, I knew Project 2025 was coming after Roe was struck down... didn't know what it'd be called... but, overturning Roe was just the beginning.

[Sabretooth]

thanks.

[Agape93]

Yeap. He did say he'd be a dictator oh day one, and who would stop him? The Supreme Court made him immune to prosecution for any loosely defined official and most unofficial acts, his party won't ever stop him, most judges are on his side, most cops are on his side, most soldiers are on his side, around 47% of the country is on his side, and congress itself is controlled by his party.

[Anonymous]

He only ran to keep himself out of jail so he will do whatever he must to keep himself out of jail until he dies. If we're lucky, we'll have democracy again after that.

[WhiteSteve]

I don’t know if it will be true “dictatorship”, but Trump is going to do something very dangerous with our bureaucratic institutions, clean them out and install Trump loyalists. This election might’ve fucked America for the rest of my lifetime.

[Asker]

I just feel like somethings about to happen

[ProbablyClueless]

To be fair, the bureaucratic institutions are already a total shitshow that isn't serving the people at all.

[WhiteSteve]

@ProbablyClueless but they aren’t staffed with loyalists with nefarious agendas, broadly speaking. More likely, they’re lazy career bureaucrats.

[ProbablyClueless]

They're still doing a tremendous amount of damage, though.

[WhiteSteve]

@ProbablyClueless tremendous amount of waste, maybe. But the current lot who are of varying demographic and political backgrounds are better than ONE guy (who has shown himself to be corrupt and a bad actor) picking people who are lunatics like he is and making the institutions in question specifically biased towards the particular movement and agenda of a current administration

[phraseology]

It depends on what crimes you committed. Sure you might get to go to prison. They tell you when to eat, when to sleep, when to get in line, when the lights are turned off, and when you are allowed to see the sun. That’s the consequence of being a criminal. Consider yourself lucky if you don't hang for treason.

[AviatorTom]

No, that's what the left wanted everyone to believe... so they could win... and it didn't work.

[Asker]

Normally, I agree with your thoughts, but the way he was explaining things doesn’t look great for women people of color. I’m scared.

[saraupstairs]

Tom, imagine you're 78 years old. You have more money than God. You don't even know how many golf courses you own. You live in a palace in Palm Beach. You have a beautiful wife and great kids. Oh, and you love getting shot in the ear. Yeah, Trump wants that dictator job.

[exitseven]

No, we are goung to experience the greatest political revolution in history.

[DryGermanGuy]

No. But he and his cronies and handlers have enough ideas (see Project 2025) to fuck the United States up beyond all recognition.

[Anonymous]

Of course not. That's just Democrat hyperbole.

[jahaims]

He was president once already lol. If he wanted to have a coup it would have happened then.

[Asker]

They did try

[Asker]

The impeachment trial process

[jahaims]

Lmfao

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah! If Skamala wins!!

[Asker]

But she’s never stated that there will be no more voting like Trump did, which is kind of scary

[FunkyMonkee]

What fake news channel did you hear that from?
The fact that you BELIEVE that shit is scary!!

[FunkyMonkee]

You mean like the last time he was President?

[seeyounexttuesday]

Your “a lot of people” are morons.

[Asker]

When I say people, I mean the local people that we interact with every day families friends grocery store clerks just having a conversation Harris she’s never stated that there will be no more voting like Trump did, which is kind of scary he’s even stated about the purge

[seeyounexttuesday]

Are you mentally deficient?

[Asker]

Clearly, you don’t know how to have regular conversation and just know how to insult people

[Asker]

I believe that you’re the idiot

[seeyounexttuesday]

I’m asking a question. Because you mentioned “the purge” . Do you know what that is?

[Asker]

Yes, did you see the movie? Did you read the book? That’s what I’m talking about.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Yeah, what was the basic plot?

[Asker]

Erase the poor the homeless veterans on the street the unarmed etc

[seeyounexttuesday]

and how was that accomplished? Isn't erasing people against the law?

[Asker]

Again, if he is trying to erase the law so he can eradicate people I don’t think it matters at this point nor would he care the purpose is humanity I don’t think he has that

[seeyounexttuesday]

So when has Trump advocated for removing laws?

[Asker]

When he stated there will be no more voting you don’t have to worry about that

[seeyounexttuesday]

Ooh, time for an intelligence test. What did he mean by that statement when you put it in context?

[msc545]

He will do that, and much worse.

[BarryLiverstone]

Nope
