Remember, until Trump gains 270 electoral vote in November, Trump has won jack shit.

Vote. Get everyone you know to vote. That's how we stop him.

Im in a solidly blue state.
But, havent numerous states been trying to make it incredibly hard for groups who might vote democrat to vote by changing laws over registration and how and where people can vote? Basically, trying to get Jim Crow results within the laws of the present time.
Thats nothing to say of places whove opted for voting machines from dubious sources.

The only way to peacefully beat Trump and the Republicans is to outvote them by a margin too large for them to steal, despite all the obstacles Republicans are putting in the way of voting.

Idk I feel like there has to be a better strategy to combat absolute fascism than democrats needing to win every election. It's straight up unfeasibile. Maybe the FBI should have done the thing.

This is just the Republican Party now, Project 2025 does not require Trump and it was not his idea.

Trump will never be elected President again. I'm sure there are contingency plans to prevent that from happening a second time.
This must make you sad, considering you're one of the chudreddit alts who hangs around the Blacklist trying to troll.

And on topic, Trump personally won't do it. It's all the people steering him around like the fucking useful idiot he is that will.

It's kind of a coin toss. Which is scary. While as a straight white dude I'd probably be physically safe, the fact that I actually care about others means that I probably wouldn't blend well. Honestly I kind of seeth just seeing trump flags so I don't know if I could bite my tongue forever if things truly got bad. And I live in FL so it's going to get worse especially if he wins.

The 2025 project claims that the President has autocratic juristiction across the entire executive branch-- including the military, FAA, CDC, EPA, USDA, and FDA.
How are you going to be physically safe if you can't even trust your medicine, the food you eat, or air traffic control? They'll likely roll back air and water emission standards as well. Yeah, bullshit you'll "probably be safe as a white dude"

Why? That poster just said my opinion is worthless because I'm not american. Is that the kind of shit you moderators support?
It quite literally is. You came in here and by your own admission said you don't know kuch about what's going on over here in America, and the candidates themselves. Yet you are clutching your pearls in faux concern or confusion why people are so critical of dear Trump.

Nothing wrong with not being American and uninformed about our politicians and politics, but the moment you start inserting your opinion as if it should be valued despite being uninformed.... Again, by your own admission you are not American, and by yoir own admission uninformed about whays going on.

That's not even getting into some users here provided context about dear leader Trump.

Don't throw on the shocked Pikachu face criticism is being directed at you for chiming in serious concern over something by your own admission you don't know a lot about.
Yes, and the GOP will help him every step of the way.

You seem hurt, offended and upset. Perhaps if you were more accurate in your misguided notions you wouldn't feel so bad. Misinformation is truly harmful.

Really? I originally posted there talking about 261 and how things could have been different if everything would have been fairly balanced Then I proved my point by illustrating how my posts were attacked by certain other posters on the Blacklist board. Then I left as as stated I would. You are struggling to confirm your self delusions.

Yes is it. To honestly believe one man can end a democracy or a (representative Republic) in the United States is truly the pinnacle of a conspiracy theorist mindset.

How do you view an entire political party as one man? And were a representative democracy.

To be very specific, the United States could be defined as a federal constitutional representative democracy. You might also call it a federal constitutional republic.

Or you could say democracy for short. But representative Republic and democratic democracy would be stupid labels.

Kanye west has literally zero support and his bid for "presidency" hardly even made headlines yet here you are pointing to it. Not only this but you support his presidential bid and who is kanye? A man who brought a literal nazi to dine with Trump who pushes anti-semetic conspiracies against the Jewish people.

I actually meant to point this out yesterday. There's no way someone that is arguing in good faith knows about Kanye's presidential bid but not Trump's rabid racism.

The only reason the GOP keep bringing that up is to make accepting the end of democracy in our system easier, as they transition us away from electing our officials directly.

This. There's a lot of people who don't know all of their government vocab and couldn't answer "what is a direct democracy versus other types of democracy" but literally every person can answer the question of "do you think you personally vote on every single item before Congress?" But they just want people used to say "it's OK if we become less democratic because we weren't a direct democracy anyways."

I honestly don't know have to respond to this kind of conspiratorial rhetoric. The mindset has to be paranoid to say the least.

It's a common understanding here in America that those who support trump typically believe the left is as fervent towards biden as they are of trump. Since they worship the ground trump walks on it breaks their minds over how someone can vote for a man they despise over a candidate they genuinely love. The same confusion you are displaying in here.

Simplifying his case like that is neglecting context. This was the response to his first post telling people to vote 3rd party/independent:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80775694/980543166

He was immediately accused of being a Trump cultist giving disingenuous advice. Simply because he claimed neither main candidate deserved votes.

When he then retaliates by claiming the people who literally personally attacked him just for not supporting Biden are the actual cultists, you going, "you only say that because you're projecting your own cultism onto them" is pretty off-base. He wasn't even the first one to throw that accusation in this argument.

People have a habit of overlooking the aggression of their own side while hyperfocusing on any wrongdoing of the opponent.

You're wrong.

Considering the dude audibly said"I'll be a dictator lol But only for a day!"

It's absolutely the default, and nothing else.

You're only choosing not to see it because you don't want to. It is obviously evident for pretty much anyone capable of critical thinking.

I find it totally amazing how you just projected your short comings on to me to justify your conspiratorial opinions. Trump isn't my first choice for President by a mile. But that has been projected on to me by a few paranoid posters. Living in fear must be horrible.
