It feels like this is written for someone who hasn’t actually lived through the last ten years and finds anything about this Trump administration to be surprising.
Trump is engaged in a political blitzkrieg and he is overwhelming all of the checks and balances. He is already taking control of the FEC so we can’t be guaranteed fair elections, and the military. He has removed the people in the military whose job it is to determine whether an order is legal.
Anyone who can’t read the writing on the wall is fucking willfully blind. His Presidency is poised to end our democracy. Full stop.
Even if Trump is defeated politically or in the courts or on the field of battle, even if he chokes on a hamburder tomorrow, this nation is crippled until we are able to rewrite the Constitution to prevent all of this—that being said, we voted for this. No constitution in the world can prevent an entire nation from shooting themselves in the foot.
So you can look at it one of two ways:
Yes, the rest of his Presidency will be even more damaging to this nation than the first month as the ability to resist him at all is eroded and undermined.
No, because he has already dealt a fatal blow to the republic. Everything after this is so much extra filling for the shit pie we have created.
Whichever way feels most correct to say, it doesn’t really matter because the end result will be the same.
Yes to what you said except we actually didn’t vote for this. Sure, way too many people voted for Trump but he only came out ahead because of voter purges and voter suppression tactics that republicans have been using for years. Also the concentrated propaganda from Fox, talk radio, and social media made sure that half of voters aren’t even aware of reality.
To be clear, this is different than the “stop the steal” lies that maga was telling in 2020. This is about systemic ways that republicans have an unfair advantage in elections.
Not to mention the substantial circumstantial evidence that Musk bought his position as co-president via hacking voting machines I have doubts the Republicans actually won anything at all.
Just remember, our voting machines were proven to be vulnerable to first hand attacks.
It’s a good thing no enemies of the United States had their hands all over them during a sham “audit” of the last legitimate election we will ever have…

Here’s one article about that, there are others.

Voter suppression doesn’t absolve 90 million eligible people from not voting. Non voters suck and need called out for complicity.
