There’ll be no shortage of those once they start rounding up the democrats (to include anything else that isn’t the ‘true republican’), the LGBTQ+, and non(‘correct version’ of)christians. Oh, and minorities.

The first members of the administration, Congress, or the SC who aren’t faithful enough will be the ones who ‘commit suicide by throwing themselves out their hotel windows’, the rest will rubber stamp any and every maga law, to include anything that would prevent him from being president for life, like his buddy Putin.

They’re already doing it. More than half the United States’ voters this year just elected a man who lied about fumbling the pandemic, who lied about having the most secure border and the best economy, who lied about the insurrection he very clearly instigated, and has lied about his policies and political stances form day one (health care, abortion rights, you name it) and people are accepting, if not believing, what he’s saying. This is doublespeak right in front of our eyes. They’re lying right now, and they’ll lie later when they start attacking our basic human rights and start rounding up our friends and their political opponents. And we’ll accept it, if not believe it.

He had the threat of impeachment for misuse of Presidential power before. Now he doesn’t, the House will never be able to bring that against him while in Republican control, and the Senate’s still his. I’m willing to bet we get to see a huge increase in Democrats being impeached across the country. Impeaching Democratic judges, formerly appointed for life. Sure, you’ll need some Democrats on your side, but once everyone is afraid of the gazpacho (/s), more than enough will fall in line. They’re ‘official Presidential acts’ remember, and if you thought they weren’t, their hand selected judges would disagree with you and approve the acts.

Hell, it’s already been mentioned before, all he needs to do is claim a ‘red scare’, then investigate, impeach, and purge the ranks of those that don’t fall in line. And it doesn’t have to be blatant assassination, the people will believe what they’re told.

Edit: uniquely, other than having dissidents randomly fall out windows, Congressmen/women can be expelled without impeachment, with a 2/3rds vote in their respective houses (little ‘h’). So, say a few start throwing themselves out the 5th floor window of hotels… enough remaining will prostrate themselves and vote to expel their peers, same as they would to impeach SCOTUS or federal judges.

A guy I know argues that a ‘better system’ would that the individual shouldn’t be able to vote in higher tier elections. The individual should be able to vote for their local reps. Local reps vote for the fewer regional/county reps, those vote for state, and state then vote for congressional, who then vote and elect the president.

But, if you think Russian (or enemy nation states) were able to infiltrate and sway the 2024 presidential election across 130 million voters… how easy do you think it’d be to do the same across Congress? Hell, they’ve already infiltrated that.

Yep, everything outing yourself as LGBTQ+ or an ally, or liberal/progressive/democrat will turn into your lynching material. Time to delete everything and be prepared for The Handmaiden’s Tale to kick up real quick.

They’ll blame Barack Harris for the crumbling of the US while the republicans dismantle it actively in front of them, while they point at the democrats for letting it happen.

Remember, with doublespeak they’ll continue* to blame the democrats while their Republican leaders dismantle their rights, the economy, and the government right in front of their eyes.

Don’t discount that ‘election fraud’ scares will be what he uses to dismantle the free and fair election in 2028.

I didn’t crack it open, but probably should have. This’ll be an interesting four years, to say the least.

Then let them blow. Why are people getting so wrapped up on a nothing issue. “OMG I bought a house/rented an apartment around people and the people noises are bothering me! These people are the worst!” Instead of “if I wanted peace and quiet I’d move somewhere with peace and quiet instead of complaining about the people I live close to doing people stuff.” Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Edit: I bought a house on a postage stamp in the middle of the city. My neighbor decided to get a motorcycle this year. Ok, it’s a little loud sometimes. But, it’s the city. Also, my dogs bark sometimes when I’m taking a shit in the morning so I have to rush to bring them inside, and sometimes that’s like 5 minutes of barking at 06:30. I honestly am worried about my neighbors being annoyed by it. So, sure. My neighbor can have a motorcycle. It’s a free world. Other people can blow leaves. My dogs will bark. Getting annoyed by noise and judging people on it, especially when there’s a legitimate reason for it, is absurd. Get upset at the guys making their cars louder or music and cruising relentlessly. But, their dogs barking a little when let out, their motorcycles just turning over before they roll out, or them mowing or blowing leaves? Seems like people are thin skinned when it comes to living in a society here.

I’m still drinking socially, so one or two drinks once or twice a month with friends. I’m just not drinking alone, and anywhere near as much. That shit was getting expensive and fucking with my mental health through this election cycle.
