Thank you for saying exactly what I would have said, and in less words too.
So explain to me how that works. How everyone goes along with it. Who exactly he shoots in the face to hold power. Because without a description of a reasonable plan, all of this Trump will XXXXX is bullshit paranoia.
The people in power will be his fellow Republicans. The Democrats won’t be able to do anything but watch, assuming he doesn’t just have them killed.
“Don’t Quote Laws to Men With Swords”
You’re thinking, “There’s no way he can do that under the rules!”, but the thing is, the rules aren’t going to apply, not very strongly, anyways. When the people charged with enforcing the laws agree with him, they’ll let him get away with it, at least for a little while.
I agree with this. I’m not all that worried about Trump himself right now; he’s too stupid, lazy, and progressively more demented to even bother trying to turn his incoherent rhetoric into action.
Vance and his allies are the ones I’m scared of.
So step through the plan. Be specific. What laws gets passed and upheld. How do they avoid a Democratic filibuster in the Senate? Or is this just crying the sky is falling.
“We don’t care, you can’t stop us, laws don’t matter.”
Give us an example and we’ll tell you how Trump will ignore whatever guardrails there may be in place to prevent him.
There are no “guardrails” anymore. I can’t give you an example of something that doesn’t exist.
So you can’t realistically tell us how it would happen? Not a problem. There’s like 50 other posts like yours here added to the IRL comments I hear from Democrats. I file them under “I’ll worry about it when it happens.” which is as good as deleting them.
They’d just do it, as easily as they’d scratch their nose. You seem to think there’s some sort of obstacle they’d have to get around but there isn’t.
Trumpers won’t just give up. They will become Vancers to honor Trump.
Filibusters exist because of the rules of the Senate. The GOP has a majority, and can re-write those rules as they see fit. Filibuster today, when they like it, no filibuster tomorrow, when they want to ram something through. No one has the power to stop this, other than the ones who will be doing it in the first place.
I look forward to them carrying around couches to fuck, to “own the libs”.
I agree with the former; I don’t think I agree with the latter.
Trump’s ego won’t let him formally anoint an heir apparent, someone whom his followers will naturally gravitate to when he’s gone, because he directed them to do so. And he certainly hasn’t indicated that any of his kids have that role, even though Don Jr. is the most visible of them these days, as a mouthpiece for his father.
I anticipate a brutal knife fight within the GOP when Trump is either dead or incapacitated, to grab the ring and take control of the MAGA movement.
Despite being VP, I don’t think that Vance can pull that off. Not only is he a windsock, but he’s not particularly charismatic as a speaker.
But, then again, I could well be wrong; lord knows I’ve been wrong about enough other things in the last 8 years.
So you’re confirming you have no clue how the mechanics of that would happen. One day Trump puts on his Thanos glove, snaps his finger and it magically happens.
I suppose you’re basing your theory on the success he had on January 6, 2021 when he got the electoral vote stopped and declared himself re-elected and everyone went along with it and he single-handedly threw out the Presidential Term-Limit so that now he’ll be on his third term.
Wake me when it actually happens.
What “mechanics”? He (or more likely Vance) just does it, and that’s that.
He’s also the most visible candidate for picking up Trump’s mantle, which means everyone lurking in the shadows know that he needs to go for their own ambition to succeed. He’ll have been stabbed more times than Julius Caesar by the time it’s over.
Yes yes I understand.
Exactly like 1/6/21
With his Thanos glove.
It just happens
And everyone cheered.
This isn’t then.
