Maybe it’s a dog whistle about the Confederate general John Imboden 
Does he actually say “I’m not Christian” at one point?
It’s the haiku equivalent of bonsai.
Sure sounds like it.
Yeah that is arguably part of his cognitive decline. Whether it’s garbling “I am Christian” or just coming out and saying he’s not (which is absolutely not part of the plan)
Trump apparently said this, speaking to Christians. Nothing to see here. (From Politico article).
Concluding his remarks, Trump told the audience that it was important for Christians to get out and vote in November.
Four years from now, he argued, the country will be “fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
Took us off topic, no more replies to it
I know that Trump won’t be able to literally become a dictator if he wins, but I’m extremely worried that not only is he desiring to do so, but he’s saying it out loud and people seem fine with it.
And this isn’t even a, “just on day one” BS comment either.
Off-Topic
I don’t think there’s any reason that he couldn’t become a dictator on day one and beyond.
The foundations of our institutions have been destablized. I don’t think it would take much to totally destroy them. Particularly with the forcesplans the other side is equipped with.
But in terms of his ability to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the presidency BDTS is much more debilitating than any dementia he might have.
off-topic
Kinda makes you wonder why he didn’t do that during his first term.
Way off-topic, start a new thread or find an appropriate one please.
Why not?
‘But what if he does?’
Pretty much off-topic also
I don’t think “in four years you won’t have to vote anymore” is something we should be playing “What he MEANT to say was…” with.
When he says he wants to be a dictator, take him at face value.
Off-topic, this is about Trump today. {WE?}
He pretty much did try in the last days of it.
First truth out of his mouth.
Off-Topic part of post hidden.
Fuck, no one will be ABLE to vote.
He can do anything and it is legal, and that is what he thinks. Cancel elections, have a third term, whatever.
Because he’s an incompetent boob for starters, and surrounds himself with idiotic sycophants.
Getting into the difficulty of establishing a dictatorship in the United States in 2024 is probably far outside the scope of this thread.
Hid very off-topic reply about Russia {WE?}
Look into what happened in Russia when Jeltsin took over. Look how utterly amateurish all of it seems. Coups are not streamlined affairs planned by competent government officials. They are, often bloody, messes planned by people trying to get the government officials out of the way. One cannot overstate how close the US democracy came to the edge at 1/6. There were all kinds of plans in place to keep Biden out of office. Fake electors, pressuring Pence not to certify the election, keeping the national guard out of the way.
Your ass was saved by Pence unexpectedly finding his spine. Not by any incompetence by the would be revolutionaries. They had their ducks in a row and were marching on the Capitol.
“Radical leftist dumb-o-crats blocked everything! Remember how I had that wonderful replacement for the failing Obamacare? Blocked! Remember my infrastructure plan? Blocked! Remember my puppies and kittens for orphans plan? Blocked! Remember my free corvettes for everyone plan? Blocked!”
MAGAts will remember all those plans.
off-topic enough to hide
While also believing that no one will stop him this time.
When he confuses El Salvador with Venezuela, he’s confused.
The repeated end to voting comments are not confused. They are an attempt to show strength and draw attention.
I guess you know and I am being whooshed, but I can’t avoid nitpicking that Don Quijote’s name is neither Don nor Quijote, it is Alonso Quijano.
That is what I hear too.
