I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

Most will still be in their 3-year probationary period when the next president takes office. So can be dismissed in mass without cause like Trump did to a bazillion other agencies that he decided to unilaterally downsize. Gooses and ganders, don't you know?

#RemainHopeful✊🏽 MILLIONS remain hopeful exercising their power by registering new Dem voters, donate, phone/text bank, send post cards turning out voters, support independent journalists/media, help organize & mobilize the base. We don’t any doomsayers identity, motive or intention. #TakeCare🤝

It will be rigged. Donald Trump started an INSURRECTION to avoid accountability. He ran for President again, to avoid accountability and claim political motivations. Obviously, he will have an open, free and fair election at mid-terms when IMPEACHMENT is on the line. 👍👍👍

It's silly to think we won't have an election. Not sure how free and fair it might be, but it would be immensely stupid to not have one. Even the most apolitical of normies would notice. We have a LOT of democracy "muscle memory" in this country.

When would such an order come down? Before primaries in the spring? After people are campaigning and can spend time informing thousands of people about such an order? Right before the actual election?

Please keep in mind that we are dealing with people who have untreated malevolent personality disorders, including an orange malignant narcissist with dementia who's only card that he's ever been able to play his whole life has been to psych people out with future faking. DO NOT fall for it.

I think that it would be a really powerful tool for everyone to use, if we all researched psychology and how these people think. Narcissists, sociopaths, psychopaths, etc. If you understand their tactics, you spare yourself a lot of pain and confusion and make yourself more manipulation resistant.

Have you been paying attention to the news over the last 10 years? The checks are GONE... they will literally let him do whatever he wants. Why do you think he would recognize any election that he didn't win? Nobody is stopping him NOW, why would they then?

Lots of Europeans also fear Putin in the same way. He's evil, unpredictable but he has not achieved much in Ukraine in reality. I don't see him crossing the Rhine. Don't surrender in advance. 💪

How will Trump stop drugs by blowing up fishing boats? That’s illegal! Trump can’t just go and kidnap the leader of a sovereign country! That’s illegal! Trump can’t just put his name on things because he wants to! Do you need more?

Pollyanna, maintain the status quo, the system is unbreakable…. These Democratic attitudes are partly to blame for this mess. The regime is fascist, plain and simple. It will behave accordingly.

I would suggest you follow your own TOP Democracy lawyer who clearly llists how Trump can do this. Trump has already stated STATES are just counting booths of an election and the FEDERAL GOVT rules those states. Are you seriously still hooked on the "this govt follows the Constitution and respects

They've got this in place and they proved it worked, and the USPS moves are the latest in their attempt to reduce the mail-in vote count. A call for a recount will expose this, but they are betting the Dems won't want 'election denier' label. thiswillhold.substack.com/p/she-won-th...

AI shows ICE without masks (false) and how long before AI platforms produce realistic videos created in the images Trump demands? How many murders were not filmed? Jonathan Ross is hoping to be the next Kyle Rittenhouse; a distinction that never should have been permitted in the first place.

Some folks can’t relinquish the foolish optimism. There is not a damn thing to suggest, that there will be any semblance of American democracy remaining, after the tyrannical reign, of the Orange King. 🤔✊🏾🇺🇸💙

Only because the current 🍊🫏 is on ☠️ door and the vp ❤️🛋️. He isn’t going to be able to not have them. If the current leader was healthier we wouldn’t have a chance.

Hon, we're always looking for the pony in the box of manure... #AdmitsToBeingOptimistic despite all the horrific trends right now.

Good point. I was raised to be optimistic, but that may not serve me well in the future. But, who knows? Little known fact: Even Miss Cleo didn't see those federal charges coming.

It’s laziness. Americans have been brainwashed into looking for the easy an immediate answers to everything. Look at how they flock to ANY new weight loss “miracle” vs just eating better and being a bit more active

Even more concerning with 250 years of history proving the other half of the puppet doesn't undo the damage ever and people still intend to give it the power to do nothing instead of taking power away from all of them and those pulling the strings

Right. Exactly. Even if we do overthrow the Piggy Regime, if it's not already too late, the real President we elect in his place will need decades to fix the damage already done. But if we don't take action now, there won't be an election in 2028, and there probably won't be a 2028 at all.

Voting is written in the constitution. To change the constitution they need 3/4 in both houses to vote yes . And 3/4 of the states to vote yes. NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!

He can confiscate the voting machines, something he really regrets not doing in 2020 as he very recently stated. He’s also militarizing our cities and it’s having the intended effect-people are going underground. He can affect the next election. And he will definitely try.

The states make their voting rules as far as mail in, voting machines. My states has mail in voting but you have to prove you’re unable to vote in person. Also they give you a choice of machines or paper ballots.

My state too. Hopefully by then, ICE will be gone. Old man trump is still fighting the courts over mail-in ballots, and he has a real voting machine fettish. He’s still trying to get all voter rolls for every state, and of course the red states have handed them over to him, no questions asked. 😩

If he somehow cancelled the 2028 election, 469 members of Congress would be termed out of office in January 2029 (the entire House and 34 Senators). Most are Republicans. It ain't happening.

voting is a legal right in the us of a and yet several of the previous elections have been compromised by the chetto itself and foreign actors as well this current regime has NO intention of leaving evidenced by the past (jan 6) so free honest elections ... he will do anything to stay in power

This is going to be a long year. Latest rant - Take control of the Fed. Next? Dissolve Congress??? I’m voting no matter how or where. I’m definitely voting.

Certainly, things they should have thought of prior to electing this felon, pedo, rapist, insurrectionist, traitor, whose, history showed he wasn't fit to be a dog catcher. He told voters that they had only to vote one more time for him, & they'd never have to vote against, it would be all fixed.

bingo. There won't be a meaningful election in Nov. Look at what ICE is rehearsing right now and then multiply that by 100. Maybe 1,000. People won't risk 'showing up' and trump is killing mail in now. The people need to move on to Plan B and do it now.

Stupidity beats having to face reality. To be blunt, do these fools really thing the MSM, the Republicans and MAGA who will still be around in enough numbers to scream and shout will let the next President do anything substantial unless they get off their arses and .are their presence felt?

I find it darkly amusing that....*gestures* your puny conspiracy theory mind thinks there won't be elections. When they come around and the fascists start losing them, will you be here to apologize for....*gestures* being such a drama queen?

Felon of 34 must be removed immediately!! He is an international threat to peace and democracy & freedom as we know it!!! His lies his PEDOING 🤮🤮 his enriching himself his denying laws & rule of laws are a disgrace!!!

THINK ABOUT WHAT Gaz IS SAYING, AMERIKKKA ‼️...DUMP's election was RIGGED/STOLEN‼️...Just ask ELON‼️...Sooo, if they accomplished it this last time, what assurances can the Democrats give us that the next election will be SAFE/SECURE ⁉️...HUH, @ Democratic National Party⁉️

How much more evidence do some of you motherfuckers need TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE WILL NOT GIVE UP HIS POWER THAT YOU EASILY GAVE UP. Look at all you's, WHILE IRANIANS (instigated by the USA cause anything to divert attention from his crimes) ARE TEARING THEIR COUNTRY APART, U ALL THINK HE'S PLAYING

I remember JFK and other assassinations then Watergate, and the uncertainty as Nixon left, but when Ford took office there was a calming effect that created Constitutional healing and a return of confidence for a while.

There will be one. Democrats will win a landslide victory in the midterm Elections. Trump will be impeached and rendered powerless. They’ll proceed to change laws do that a Felon/ Traitor/ Child Rapist can never be President.

all dictators have elections as it gives the appearance they are beloved & legitimately elected when in fact they have destroyed the voting apparatus-just look at his attacks on vbm & honestly he will probably jail any democrat nominated to run against him

Exactly. The sheer unsubstantiated belief in a democratic process in the US is unbelievably naive. 5 years ago the US came so close to losing its democracy and by voting in the person who tried to do that the American people are flirting with dictatorship.

Unless Trump stops them from voting. And remember because those not being able to vote will be almost certainly exclusively poor black people the bulk of population won’t care.

Tried to summarize this here as well: bsky.app/profile/rml8... Somehow people think this will just all go back to normal in 3 years...

I feel like someone has to explain to my fellow Europeans why waiting out Trump is not an option this time around (it wasn't a great idea last time, but very popular), a small thread: 1. Trump is only 1 year into his second term and has already done a lot of damage, to alliances, (1/13)

This is my thought's to given the facts in the history with Mad man it truly is insane to think after he tried a coupe before he had all of the power to totally ignore our Constitution the military we thought would defend our Constitutional democracy are showing loyalty killing Venezuelan fishermen

We need to simultaneously prepare for the next election and prepare for the possibility of them trying to cancel elections. Our strength is in collective action and fascists will do everything they can to disrupt that. But we just have to say fuck no to them and organize anyway.

A general strike would take them to their knees within a matter of days. They are only powerful because we allow it.

As an American, I feel the exact same way. It's like everyone around me thinks they can just hunker down and wait it out and it will go away. Or, if they Om hard enough they can make the bad stop.

Even if there is going to be one, I assume that so many switches have already been thrown that there will be no easy way back; whoever comes to the helm will continue to pursue the course that has been set.

It’s because if we say the quiet part out loud, it will only accelerate their abuse of the system to prevent us from taking actions that will bring an end to their regime. We have to keep talking as tho we’re going to do this all democratic, or else there’s no chance there will be a peaceful remedy.

If yOu SaY vOtEs dOnT mAtTeR, pEoPlE wOnT vOtE Yeah bitch, that's fine if they don't vote, because voting hasn't mattered. Telling them their only solution is to vote again in 4 years is kind of a vote-of-no-confidence in our system, innit?

...what? Are you expecting Kamala to do something? What exactly are you saying here. If you .ean the current admin, I'd say they're pretty conclusive evidence that the executive has power

I’m an American and I agree. There are no checks and balances, there are only large corporations and greedy despots at the helm. They have no plans of letting go of their power. ‘Cleaning Up’ a mess this large, this deep, feels unlikely—if not impossible—as it stands.

Do NOT obey in advance. Instead, work to protect elections under threat. In 2020, he lost 60 court cases where he tried to cheat and subvert the election results. He/MAGA will do everything they can to hold onto power illegitimately—we certainly should not roll over for them.

I know! I’m an American and a Spiritual Guide. I’m observing several stages of grief and denial. Most want to treat this as a setback to ride out and fix later. This country has been in moral decline since the day it was discovered and stolen. Voting alone, will never fix this.

I fully expect there to be "elections". Just not one where your vote has any value because the outcome will be predetermined and they'll just make up whatever numbers they need.

New Hope, every US citizen who can vote, needs to flip the himself, senate, impeach cabinet members and Trump...tgen convict and remove. (I know, its alot)

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you on this. No one tears down a third of the White House to make a ball room, put his name and face on everything just so in three years the next president would just take that all away. He is trying to stay president indefinitely.

Yeah, as an American, I think the same thing. I am shocked by how no one I encounter isn't visibly horrified. We're all pretending like everything is normal. From what I understand, the Germans were able to do the same for a bit also.

Oh, there will be a pushback. And US elections are a very regularized thing. The more likely problem is that we'll get a Democratic Congress & President who don't crack down on the fascists (like Obama & Biden) or are explicitly trying to do many of the same things (like Clinton).

There's too many accounts that push doomsday nonsense, and some of those accounts also attack Jeffries and Schumer. I think they're part of an op... trolls, bots, trollbots, foreign operatives, etc. - and sometimes they also block us without even responding back or interacting with them.

It’s sad and naive. Even more sad? If Americans could stand together in solidarity as countrymen and shut down your country full stop! You could put a mostly peaceful end to this fever dream. But far too many of you obviously love what is going on so……. No.

There will be a new president(party) in power. We just don't know when, which is the part that's freaking out so many. We aren't used to not knowing. That may work in our favor because of the expectation that there will be free and fair elections this fall, we will be outraged when there aren't.
