      Hey there, Northern neighbor. Sure would be a shame if our problems escalated into your problems, too.

      Edit: but also, what do you expect us to do? We’re holding the biggest protests in history right now. What more should we be doing? Having a civil war?

        Oh for sure they are our problem already (what with all the 51 and arbitrary border talk). Obv we are pissed in a generational way.

        I would have thought willy nilly tearing down of your historic building would have been met with more ……resistance. I mean he’s replacing it with a throne room so he can make a grand entrance and be applauded.

        No civil war but less appeasement. Less automatic obeysance.

    I made this post almost a year ago after Trump was declared the winner of the election, comparing Trump to the God Emperor of Dune —waking people up from following charismatic leaders and to be free and think for themselves. I wasn’t expecting him to go full God Emperor and try to rule for thousands of years though!

        Biden was in power after Trump. It was his responsibility to use that power to ensure Trump and the rest of his cronies were held accountable for their crimes. Instead Trump was barely convicted of election fraud and they didn’t even get to sentencing before he was back in office.

        That’s not what they said.

        Democrats did nothing at all to stop him after he attempted to overthrow government the first time. They just celebrated and said “that was a close one”, but did nothing effective at all to hold him accountable or to undo most of his damage. Project 2025 was public knowledge, and all they did was use that as a threat to the American people, “vote for us or you get that”.

        Even Hitler was thrown in jail before coming back to power.

    They are setting up to manipulate the elections. Buying up media, taking over the campaign distribution systems, and possibly the voting systems, but I’m not really worried as much that he is going to try to stay after his 4 years. His brain is gone. If 1 conversation with say Zelensky or Putin makes him flip flop on what he is doing, he isn’t making any decisions for himself anymore. Whoever the heritage foundation or whomever has made sure they have his ear will get whomever they want in office next.

      Trump is just the useful idiot puppet of a decades-old intelligent, honed, and nefarious organization; he’s nothing more than a diversion. People need to fixate less on him and more on the people pulling his strings.

      If the elections are rigged (they will be), some other fascist will come in and pick up where Trump left off. It’s already over.

      The root needs to be extracted for the weed to stop growing.

    If he wants to be president forever than he will have to be immune to death.

    I saw this video on the Internet where they had peoples heads on jars over a thousand years after they lived, and they were fully functional and able to talk and everything.

    Even President Nixon’s head. And he got elected to another term because he had no body and that was a loophole to the 22nd amendment.

    So I guess the first thing we need to do is cut off Trump’s head and put it in a jar. It worked in that video.

              It’s not the cult that matters it’s the wealthy people running the show. All you’d do is replace chaos with evil.

                The cult absolutely matters. The reason half of Congressional Republicans go along with this shit is they’re afraid of their violent supporters turning on them. And they know dementia Donny has a tendency to direct their ire at whoever disagrees with him.

                Once that cult splinters, that threat diminishes. The die hard racists hate Vance because of his wife and children, everyone else hates him because he’s a spineless charisma vacuum. There’s only so much corporate media can do to manufacture clips that make someone look not ridiculous to even the intended audience.

                Miller isn’t chaotic and he’s running the show right now. And Vance will keep him around after Trump goes full vegetable.

            I don’t think we can know that really. I think Vance is fake as hell. He used to say a bunch of things publicly that he no longer claims to believe.

            Vance has sold into the grift, but it was only 6 years ago when he was denouncing Trump.

            So what does this mean?

            I personally hope it means he would prefer the style of conservative we saw last decade. Evil, but with a preference for stability. A stability designed to benefit the wealthy, but still stable.

            I’d rather take 1 step back from the cliff than to plunge all the way off it. Still too close for comfort though.

            These are more my hopes, he could in fact be much much worse. The neat part is it’s statically likely we’ll get to know in the next 4 years

    Autocrats & dick taters usually tell us what they want. We should listen.

    I already knew it in 2017, when both Mary Trump and Tony Schwartz said “He won’t go willingly”, but whoever didn’t get the memo after Jan 6, 2021 should get their brains examined.

      Yeah didn’t he straight up say that if he wins the election, you don’t have to vote ever again? What did people think that means other than these wannabe-nazis usurping your country?

        He always says the quiet stuff out loud and people just hand wave away as more shit from a shit goblin. He straight up admitted to rigging the elections in 2020 and 2024. He thought the other side cheated in 2020 cause he rigged it, the same as 2024, but not enough of a vote-flip threshold to overcome his overwhelming disapproval. That’s why he was so obsessed with trying to prove it.

        In 2024 they went all in and set the vote-flip threshold to a much lower trigger. He gets up on stage in PA and basically thanks Elon for rigging the election. Goes on to use DOGE to gut regulatory and investigatory agencies, and delete data with proof of tampering while stealing a bunch of data on the American electorate. There are too many irregularities in the 2024 numbers to be random. There’s some stat guy who basically quit his normal job to sound the alarm on how close the 2024 voting graphs resembled an election in Russia. However, I doubt we’ll ever actually learn the truth.
