> [@madmonk28](#): > > The fact is, Republicans are recklessly undermining our democratic institutions, but their pig fucking base is more concerned that blacks are getting uppity these days. Fuck, it’s not even just the base. Trump did about as well (or even gaining in some demographics) in 2020 as 2016. Maybe most white people aren’t racists (and I’m starting to question even this based on 2020), but most of them sure as hell are ok with violent racists in charge. > [@not\_what\_you\_d\_expect](#): > > Ya know, it just seems crazy to me to let a fired employee remain in the job for more than 2 months. It makes sense. This isn’t a standard job and there needs to be a smooth transition. This is only an issue because of how incompetent Trump is. Until now, anybody who could attain the office has had the responsibility to understand their duty to the country is more important than their own hurt feelings. Not that it’s come up. It’s been nearly 30 years since we’ve had a 1 term President. I’m actually rather curious what Trump would have done in 2024 had he won. He’s been floating the idea of a 3rd term, and with the way his lackeys have been behaving, it would have been fascinating to watch the spectacle. ---

I know, it’s just very frustrating to watch all these people getting fired and all the other stuff and not wish we had a way to at least be able to stop these sort of moves. ---

You’re assuming that their idiot children who are not able to vote yet, or the turds who don’t vote are somehow better. ---

They haven’t proven themselves by voting yet. And keep in mind that many who do not vote are not able to vote through one of several machinations of disenfranchisement. I can’t hold much of anything against them electorally speaking. ---

On the flip side, one has to give Trump props for efficiency: he’s pared the conventional “five stages of grief” down to denial and anger. ---

There’s certainly plenty of grounds for impeaching him again. But then there were plenty of grounds for convicting him in the Senate, when he was impeached the first time. So no doubt the consensus is ‘why bother?’ ---
