The ones who were going to prevent the FBI from executing a search warrant on his Mar a Lago property by any means necessary? The ones who were going to protect TFG from being arrested? The ones threatening the judges and prosecuting attorneys in his criminal and civil cases? Right they are great at threats, especially anonymous ones. But actual actions? Okay, altho several people-including five police officers died as a _result_ of the Jan 6th insurrection- within 36 hours- only one person died _during_ the insurrection as a direct result of violence- one MAGA, shot by police. One officer died soon after due to a stroke caused by the violence. Some 2000+ rabid MAGA supporters, and they didn’t kill anyone directly. Some heart attacks among those MAGAs, etc. ---

I certainly hope you guys are right. I’m flighty enough these things worry me. Plus, I live where there are no safeguards. I hate to see one person get killed or that soccer mom, kids be damned, drive that big ass grocery getter into innocents. Joe Sixpack shooting up a ball game, “hell why not” sez he, I bought this ammo for a reason. I just hope someone cares somewhere and keeps an weather eye out. ---

> [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > To be fair, which I do because I’m a better person than Trump, I think it’s clear that he was indeed saying this, telling the fundamentalists who don’t vote, according to him, to just vote this one time and he’ll push through everything they want so that they don’t have to make the effort again. Assuming that is what he meant, my question to him is still “why didn’t you make everything perfect the first time you were president?” ---

Project 2025 has provided the outline. If Trump is elected, they will have four years to purge government services and the military of people who aren’t “loyal”. When the Republicans give the word in 2028, the people in uniform will be on Trump’s side. It’s no joke. Trump really is planning on becoming a dictator. If he gets elected this year, it really could be America’s last election. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > Some 2000+ rabid MAGA supporters, and they didn’t kill anyone directly. They were tepid because Trump’s messaging was ambiguous. He wasn’t willing to commit fully to telling them to commit violence, only implying it and letting it be ambiguous. So they sort of got there and didn’t know what to do. Since he’s on his “revenge tour” this time around, and his handlers have had more time to plot evil shit for him to do, and his general trend in always being a worse person today than he was yesterday, I don’t think it will be so tepid next time. I think he’ll call for outright violence, and they will respond. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Evil woke deep state socialists stopped him. This time these people will be rounded up. Project 2025 pretty explicitly lays out the strategy. That doesn’t really answer the question; it just kicks it down the road. “If rounding up all the deep state socialists is so important, why didn’t you do it in your first term, Donald?” Every time Donald Trump talks about how terrible the country is now, and how much better he will make it, it’s like he forgets that he was the president, once. Donald, you had four years already; you helped make the country what it is today. ---

OMG…trump derange symptom much? None of what you anti trumpers spout off is anywhere close to what will happen, and certainly not one kernel of truth. Just hate. He means he will get this country back on a constitutional rail, fix the fraud capable with mail-in voting which should not be allowed, and require ID’s to vote. He wants more votes from us christians as the last election showed the turnout wasn’t great. Got it? So if elected he will use congress and constitutional law to bring back proper voting guidelines. By doing that he his jokingly saying christians won’t have to worry about voting…jeez…are ya’ll that dense. Oh, and thanks to your side’s constant false “hitler” label, your vitriol helped fuel the death of a great family man and injuries to 3 others! Your the “hitler”. ---

do you even pay attention? He’s not a dictator. He can’t just make everything right, he has to work through congress for laws to be passed or projects to accomplish. He spent his first term just pushing against those , including rinos, who didn’t want him in. Give me a break. If you can’t see what he accomplished even with all those odds against him, you’re beyond help. Open your eyes. ---

Well, I come across this stuff, these lies, and will admit that it is an example of the vocal minority, I got it. But sometimes I have to step in. I don’t care how it ends. I’ll bet real christians, not straight dope board posers, know exactly what he meant. ---

I’m grabbing popcorn. Back to the OP, what’s that old adage? “When someone tells you who they are, believe them?” Trump wants to be a dictator, cancel elections, and restrict/eliminate reproductive rights in women. It’s that simple.
