    It makes me so mad when people pretend that we shouldn’t take this seriously. Aaaand even if he hadn’t already promised to become a fascist dictator, taking the shit he says seriously in that scenario would still be better than not taking it seriously in the scenerio where he has already promised to become a fascist dictator, which is the scenario we are living.

      He literally rallied a violent mob to try and overturn the last election.

      Like, you have to be a moron to think he’s “joking” about trying to be a fascist dictator.

    If you’re a leftist in the US and you want to really scare the shit out of conservatives, get a gun and learn how to use it.

    If they ever manage to take away our voting rights, they’re not gonna give them back just cause we asked nicely.

      Also, learn how to fly drones if you can, if (when?) things go shit-fan-hitting globally, that seems like a really useful skill to have in your group, considering how the face of warfare looks at the moment.

      With a quick reminder: If you in any way can, don’t do this solo, connect with others, don’t get arrogant about it, either. The fascist preppers have a huge weakness in their narcissistic individualist “I am better than the sheep” prepping style. Being able to actually support and organise a community in the potentially coming chaos is important.

      Doesn’t work. I have several. And I have a concealed carry. A conservative knowing these things has never been scared. They use it as an excuse to pull out theirs because they think like children and have to show and tell. Even if it’s in a public place, like the damn corner of a courthouse. Which is not the kind of place a responsible adult should ever reveal a weapon.

        I have a concealed curry, in case me wife eats it

        You’re a fucking coward and would run as soon as you heard a gunshot, just like every gun-owning coward in the US 😂

    If the law stays the same, he can’t serve more than two terms and this will be his second. Possible that if he gets in a second time, I doubt he cares if anyone votes again.

      He could do a Putin, where terms just switch with a subordinate, and he can extend it forever.

      I would certainly not trust anything he says to eventually have a good purpose.
