    Trump isn’t going to give up power willingly. He is openly and gleefully breaking everything with no thought of the consequences. Republicans wouldn’t be going along with it unless they think they are untouchable. If they think kidnapping people with no due process and dumping them in concentration camps isn’t going to have a consequence, then they are all in. Trusting the rest of their lives on Trump isn’t a bet I would take, but I’m just an everyday idiot.

    Please don’t though. It’s just handing Trump an easy victory and perceived exoneration for his crimes.

    Which is exactly what happened the last two times.

    And I’m sure a majority of Trump voters support a third term and maybe stop short at crowning him godking.

    Blah, blah, blah.

    Most people supported the impeaching the fat fascist in his last term too and it went nowhere because Republicans independents voted the hard R.

    And what’s different now? Not a damn thing. This will go nowhere outside of calls from the current Democratic leadership mewling pathetically and ineffectively for bipartisanship just like last time.

    it won’t happen. buy guns.

    it’s more important that the people speak with bullets anyway. we need to establish a precedent for people like him. a warning for future idiots and sociopaths. a reason for the rest of the morons to pay attention.

        Who, me? I am not from Burgerland. Also, this was done by Italian communists, not superior, enlightened, liberal European society or something. Where are the left parties in Europe, curbing right wing politics? I don’t see them. Europe is slowly falling for the same right wing politics. Falling profits and rising inequality will lead to the capitalist class propping right wing governments to suppress dissent by using tired talking points like immigration and ‘culture’, and, to paraphrase one among those fellows who hanged Mussolini, capital will not be able to preserve itself without killing liberalism to give way to fascism.

    This shit will never get fixed until radical fascist media talking heads get dragged into the streets and beaten to a pulp every time they lie through their goddamn traitor teeth about tEh sAtAnIc bAby kIllIng dEmOnCrAts.

    Fuck the goddamn First Amendment; if you cant use it responsibly you LOSE IT. These fuckers need to be crushed like the vile, pedophile cockroaches that they are.

      Bring back the fair doctrine act that Ronald Reagan got rid of.

      Edit: And make it an amendment.

          How so? Can you explain, or should I look it up?

          I remember something about that during the Clinton years, but I can’t recall what it’s about.

            It allowed corporations to buy up all the media outlets they wanted, leading to homogenization of content and elimination of voices that corporations find offensive. On The Media podcast did a miniseries about it called The Divided Dial, which was nice to hear because I had been ranting about it for years but it seemed that nobody else was paying attention. I think it’s on YT, but search and ye shall find

              Thanks for the info. I guess Clinton is equally as responsible as Reagan for the calamity we are facing today.

              What are your thoughts on what should be done to return sanity to media?

        Pandora’s box is already open, I don’t think that would work. Another approach would be to remove hate speech from being considered free speech. Targeting violence towards minority groups shouldn’t be protected by free speech.
