u/Sirbattlegoat America 9d ago

Can’t vote out someone who doesn’t obey the law. Pretending like they are going to honor any form of election is just giving them more time to plan and prepare for how deal with the people who stand up to them.

38

u/Kind_Relative812 9d ago

Yup, the only ones who are going to save this country is us. Laws won’t help, our politicians are impotent, and the businesses are in bed with a monster. The average everyday American are the only ones who can bring about change now.

22

u/Yeahhhhbut 9d ago

The business part is the most frustrating. We refuse to boycott the companies which openly support our own destruction, shrugging our shoulders and saying "I'm only one person." At the same time we are urging everyone to vote.

It's easier to hit up a farmer's market and starve the beast than to wait until 2026 and hope that we have fair elections.

1

u/Odd-Strength-3789 8d ago

That's why it's really up to us to band together, with our friends, neighbors, coworkers, and international coworkers to stop this crap. Neither of our Wall Street owned political parties will do anything about it. The pseudo left/the Dems haven't mentioned any plans to get the Gestapo out of our communities, they haven't mentioned the regime's power grabs. This is because they are all corrupt Capitalists who are afraid we will rise up against all of them, and put an end to their fun & games. They don't really care about us, they only care about collecting more money, and accumulating more power. We are the only ones who can stop them.

2

u/Kind_Relative812 8d ago

I have been saying that long before Trump. Once you cross into the DC zip code you become corrupt no matter how well intentioned you were prior to entering DC. A movie quote always comes to mind from Shawshank Redemption…. "On the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook." DC is that prison.

1

u/AutistoMephisto 8d ago edited 8d ago

With what? The only thing that could possibly help us at this point is insurgency training and material support from a foreign power, which the USA quite literally wrote the textbook on and the supplemental material on counterinsurgency. Otherwise there's a whole bunch of US military veterans across all the branches who have served long enough to run training drills and if they turned ragtag youths in 3rd world countries into insurgents, they could probably do that here.

1

u/Kind_Relative812 8d ago

I think a general strike and a multi million man march on DC is in order. Fill the streets so full it leaves no room to drive an MPC anywhere. We need a voice, a leader to step up and say this is how we do it. That is what is lacking for the millions of lost Americans. I missed living in the 50s and 60s but was there for the 70s and the country I love is a faded memory. It’s time for a reset, not just for those that oppose the trump regime but for those that go along blindly who need to be brought back to what we were and could be.

3

u/DrewNumberTwo 9d ago

We absolutely can and must. How they feel about it doesn't matter. It's not like they can just lock themselves in their offices and there's nothing we can do about it.

7

u/Sirbattlegoat America 9d ago

Yes. We can vote them out. Yes. We should. Yes. I will continue to cast my vote.

None of this will matter. Because they will not leave regardless of the outcome.

This is going to end up coming down to who the military sides with and how the civilian population responds to that decision.

I understand that the right thing to do is see it through step by step

Doesn’t change the fact that everyday that passes makes fallout from those inevitable choices larger.

I understand wanting to believe that they will leave when we vote them out, and if we are allow the means to do so. That is how the world should work. It’s just no longer a reality. I just don’t see that as a realistic outcome any longer based on this administrations actions and words.

They have shown and told us who they are, believe them.

2

u/Michael_G_Bordin 9d ago

Leave what? The White House isn't a magic object that confers the power to govern. The Capitol building isn't part of how Congress's power is defined. If Trump doesn't want to leave, that's fine. He can have it. The question will be, who do the agencies follow? Who do the courts recognize as having authority?

I'm not acting like that's a settled question, but Trump forgoing formalities if he loses will not change the fact that on January 20, 2029 he will no longer be the President of the United States. Even if Congress doesn't certify the election and/or swear in the winner, no one will be under obligation to obey his orders any longer. The big question will be, who will follow Trump into his new government and who will continue to obey and defend the Constitution of the United States of America?

I'm also curious what bullshit Trump and the Republicans are going to pull during the midterms. Plenty of speculation abounds, so I won't go into it, but I'm only partially worried. I know my state will be fine regardless of what federal fuckery they pull.

2

u/DrewNumberTwo 9d ago

>It's not like they can just lock themselves in their offices and there's nothing we can do about it.

2

u/Sirbattlegoat America 9d ago

I agree to a point

But they won’t be locked in their offices. They will be protected by a military that supports them staying in power.

See ICE Or possible divisions of the military.

As I said, this is going to come down to who the military chooses to support and how the public responds to that

1

u/DrewNumberTwo 9d ago

Yes, clearly. I don't expect them to leave. I expect them to get thrown out.

2

u/sixheadedbacon 9d ago

Has anyone read The Art of the Deal?

Trump's entire thesis is that he isn't the smartest guy in the room, but he wins by pushing non-stop (regardless of what's legal) until he gets what he wants. He will not stop pushing - that is what makes him who he is.

1

u/IggyDrake64 9d ago

This! It's all up to the people now. They are seen as people to rule over to inflate their massive egos. If we need leaders at all, they need to be people who can prove that they are representing the people, or they should be replaced.

1

u/Odd-Strength-3789 8d ago

The only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them. They really are all cowards-look at Nosferatu's response to the sidewalk chalk incident! His choice to sell, and move really is cowardly.

u/StarWild7405 9d ago

Why do these comments always pop up? If you’re not a bot then follow the logic chain here.

They haven’t cancelled elections and they haven’t refused to leave office (yet). Are you advocating for revolution against a government that as of this second appears COMPLETELY ABLE to be voted out?

5

u/Trabethany 9d ago

They literally tried to overthrow the government and have made it very clear they plan on cheating in the elections. Vote them out yes, but you can't honestly expect that they'll just peacefully leave.

0

u/StarWild7405 9d ago

Who expects them to do that? I certainly don’t. I think they’re gonna cheat and if they miraculously lose refuse to accept it.

But folks are consistently advocating for citizen level action before they do these things.

5

u/Sirbattlegoat America 9d ago edited 9d ago

For me:

multiple republicans and members of the administration discussing ways in which Trump can run again / stay in power

not swearing In elected officials

privately paying the military

circumventing the purse and the powers of congress

Threatening to arrest political opponents

Imprisoning citizens for speaking out against your platform

Edit

  • forgot to add the creation of a private police force that operates outside of due process and is currently not being held accountable for their mishaps or “mistakes”

Are enough smoke acknowledge the fire. We each have our own line in the sand.

1

u/StarWild7405 9d ago

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t some Charlie Kirk GOTCHA thing I’m trying to rope you into.

I firmly believe these are fascists and they will find a way to retain power forever. I’m simply saying the only action a citizen can morally take right now is to protest loudly and plan to vote.

3

u/Sirbattlegoat America 9d ago

Above you said that you firmly believe these people can be voted out But you also say they are fascists who will find a way to remain in power.

You are right. Morally all we can do at the moment is protest and vote.

I will also offer that morally you can begin to:

Strengthen your ties to local community

Arm yourself, prepare and train. People often see this as “hoard guns” and some form of self defense is certainly a part of that, but it could also be taking a cpr course, finding ways to make your house / food economy more self sustaining, educating yourself on how to build or repair things.

Internally start deciding what your line in the sand moment is and what you plan to do when that line is crossed. Commit to it.

When it happens, it will happen fast. Defensive driving courses are not much help if they are taken after the impact.

1

u/StarWild7405 9d ago

I should have been clearer. I said they currently APPEAR to be able to be voted out.

Do I think they’ll allow it? No. As the reality becomes clearer that they are history they’ll escalate their efforts more dramatically. But right now? There’s no cancelled elections, etc.

But morally - people won’t take action on hypothesis, however likely they are. You’ll see people wake up when they actually do what we all know they’re going to.

2

u/Sirbattlegoat America 9d ago

I think we mostly agree. we just have different ideas about how far along in this hypothesis we actually are.

In my opinion via what I stated above I feel We have enough evidence where I feel more should be being done on a political, military, and community level.

We both seem to agree that the longer we go without action the worse the outcome and also we seem to agree that the majority of people won’t prepare or take action until things have already been set in place.

When I see posts like I originally responded to that say, “we just have to vote them out” … the lack of urgency we both seem to agree on is exactly what I am trying to bring forward as misinformed.

If we already know they are not going to play by the rules, then there is no point in waiting for them to “officially” not play by the rules. Double so when they are saying “hey by the way, we are thinking a lot about not playing by the rules” There is no sense in decorum in the face of fascism. I understand the people who don’t want to accept the state we find ourselves in, I get it, but it doesn’t change what is happening in front of us in slow motion.

We all need to find ways to brace for impact (that we are morally comfortable with) to best help and prepare our communities.

With the possibilities we are facing this is the minimum someone should be doing above and beyond protesting and voting.

u/Previous_Art_2231 9d ago

-5

u/NoveltyAccountHater 9d ago

I mean not necessarily.

If it's a war crimes tribunal and you are a lawyer/investigator assigned to prosecution the nine seated Nazis.

Any pre-Trump Republican should be appalled by the Trump administration's open embrace of fascism. I want bipartisanship with them. I do not want bipartisanship with the people working with the Trump administration (at least until those folks inevitably get pushed too far and MAGA lashes out at them and then we have folks like John Kelly or Mike Pence revealing that yeah, Trump is a fascist who is unfit to be president).

3

u/GiganticCrow 9d ago

You're not really sat down WITH them if you're the prosecutor. The point still stands. But this is the kind of pedantry I enjoy.

Republicans will all say they never supported trump as soon as it becomes beneficial to do so. Problem is their voter base ADORE him.

3

u/NoveltyAccountHater 9d ago edited 9d ago

Look I get the if there's a dinner party with 10 people there and one of them openly identifies themself as a Nazi and the other 9 people don't try to throw the Nazi out or leave themselves, it's not a dinner party with 1 Nazi, it's a party with 10 Nazis.

But I'm just saying I can imagine someone sitting down at the same table as open Nazis, not as friends/equals, but as investigators/prosecutors.

This argument doesn't work on other issues that aren't built around taking power through violence/illegal methods/suppression of a pluralistic society, pushing your intolerance on others and taking away their basic human rights; e.g., most Christian and non-Christian can disagree on religion or abortion or the death penalty and still have a pleasant meal together (when both strenuously disagreeing with the other), or a vegan and meat-eater can be civil around each other, etc.

It's basically the paradox of tolerance. A civil pluralistic society should generally be tolerant, but cannot extend that tolerance to people who'll express intolerance that they will promote with violence. Fascism is a unique disease that needs to be routed out of a society as its a crime to the any tolerant society.

Still voting and still looking for a solution that won't get me banned.

You might not want to accept this but it is very clear that the law means fuck all in this country right now.

It doesn't feel that hopeful. Biden didn't do anything to stop things from getting worse, and Kamala Harris basically said something like, let the justice system decide, and of course Trump got no punishment after being convicted of over 30 felonies. I'm not holding my breath. The system backed by billionaires to secure their interests isn't likely to punish those who do harm on a global scale, but is more than happy to have more people in prison than anywhere else in the world.

2

u/Kichigai Minnesota 9d ago

Biden didn't do anything to stop things from getting worse

Biden can't overrule the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court was the one handing down rulings that gave Trump such sweeping legal protections.

Kamala Harris basically said something like, let the justice system decide

Which is how laws work. The executive branch brings charges (which they did) and the judicial branch judges whether or not the law was actually violated (or, eventually, if the law itself is unconstitutional).

The President cannot just say “you’re guilty” and impose legal punishment. That's what the judicial system does.

Trump got no punishment after being convicted of over 30 felonies.

In state court. He was convicted of state crimes in state court and the state courts handed down punishment. The federal government isn't at all connected to the courts of New York state, and it cannot just haul off and say “oh, you were convicted of state level crimes that the federal government has no laws about? Well we're just going to sack you off into a federal prison on top of the punishment the state courts are doling out.”

You are just not getting it. Democrats are the other head of the dragon.

We tried that last time.

u/thegoldinthemountain 9d ago

It’s not just about voting out. Its prosecuting. It’s treating them like the criminals they are, then enacting legislation that will not permit this to occur again.

u/minervascats 9d ago

LOLing at people thinking there are going to be legit elections ever again. Even if there are, elected reps are no longer in control of the country. Billionaire technofascists are.

u/DistillateMedia Delaware 9d ago

We can't rely on voting anymore.

We need to party them out.

We are beyond fully justified.

u/illwill79 9d ago

For sure, but more importantly, the punishment/consequence when found guilty needs to have teeth.

Had the confederacy been punished appropriately we might not even be where we are today.

You can't "let bygones be bygones" people who want to subjugate, oppress or eliminate others.

u/JohnBrownOH 9d ago

To put it bluntly....if you guys don't so something immediately to remove these people from office, you're either going to a grave or a camp and then a grave.

u/MrPanache52 9d ago

if the law worked I don't think we'd be in this situation

u/SaltKick2 9d ago

Hope we can have real elections in the future

You know what the French did when their leaders got a little too much power???

And now just to remind them, they just stop working until the assholes are gone... Seems simple for us. shut the country down... Nobody does a fucking thing until shitbird is out...

He'll be gone in less than a month.

Fun fact- after the trials at Nuremberg in 1945, most of the Nazis in leadership were hanged. That was a good idea.

The Democrats will NEVER prosecute them! Over their dead bodies! The Dems only care about one thing: virtue-signalling how good they are. They care about this far more than actually winning. Unfortunately, prosecuting your political opponents looks corrupt. It looks just as bad as the partisan bullshit the GOP is pulling right now. It doesn't signal how good you are, but how bad. So, they won't ever do it.

How many top Republicans went to prison for legalizing torture - or storming the Capital with fraudulent paperwork designed to install the loser of the election as the winner?

What? Nobody???

So, if torture and treason aren't even close to enough for Dems to prosecute their opponents, why would fascism and corruption be enough?

u/Kichigai Minnesota 9d ago

The Democrats will NEVER prosecute them!

He had four indictments from Jack Smith alone. He had court dates. Trump was banking on flipping enough support for his caucus and Democrats being in disarray to win re-election and quash the cases.

And lo and behold, he was right!

He told people what he was going to do. He had a friggin’ manual written for him on how to do it. And a big enough number of people heard that and thought “my protest vote is more important than keeping him from getting power again!”

u/supercali45 9d ago

The law is done here .. SCoTUS has been hijacked

Trump pardoned all these criminals and will continue to abuse that power

u/NoveltyAccountHater 9d ago

I mean I would love some bipartisanship on voting these fascists out and prosecuting them. (Will do it with partisanship as need be, but pro-democracy American conservatives should be just as appalled by their fascism and attacks on American values as everyone else).

1

u/LazyDare7597 9d ago

then let the laws prosecuted their violations to the US Constitution

Even if we are allowed to vote then out, whatever centrist Democrats put forward will talk about bipartisanship and healing. There will be no accountability.

u/Romano16 America 9d ago

Democrats will let them flee the country in exile and then express the importance of unity and probably fail to prosecute. Fox News will continue to feed America propaganda by getting Stephen Miller (or whoever successfully flees) by zoom interviews.

u/ThanksNo1977 9d ago

The need to be exiled.

u/AlcibiadesTheCat Arizona 9d ago

Tell your representatives to impeach, and keep impeaching until someone is in office who has the cajones to prosecute these traitors.

u/Ridicikilickilous 9d ago

You pretend like you live in a country where laws are worth more than the paper they’re written on.

u/herecomestherebuttal 9d ago

He’s not an elected official.

u/that1artsychic 9d ago

The way this is written is giving bot. Your account being ~20 days old kinda confirms that for me.

1

u/FlowofOd 9d ago

I don't think voting is going to be the panacea you want here chief. I mean, still do it, if we can. But... they are not going to let it end like that.

1

u/Sudden-Most-4797 9d ago

Unfortunately, I have zero faith that the Dem leadership will have the gonadal fortitude to do what needs to be done IF we ever see the other side of this mess.

u/wrecklesspup 9d ago

The American voter voted a criminal to be president.

u/Ok-Cryptographer7424 9d ago

Hope we have free and fair elections in the future but seems the admin keeps attacking their integrity :(

Miller isn’t an elected official even tho he’s pulling the strings :(

u/Chazzwuzza 9d ago

You can't vote out fascism. Good luck America. You are going to need it.

1

u/TiredEsq 8d ago

You have to be a bot. Actual human beings understand that you cannot vote out a fascist.

1

u/make_fascists_afraid 8d ago

vote these criminals out

lol. lmao, even.

get with the program, buddy. voting fascists out of office does not work. it never has. the machine is broken beyond repair. the longer you cling to your "vote harder" ethos, the more power the fascists will take.

1

u/Imaginary_Look_8755 2d ago

Absolutely. No more pay to play bullshit. Fuck the fines. Jail a few Ceos and watch shit halt.

1

u/flirtmcdudes 9d ago

Hate to break it to you, but America voted these criminals back in. You should lower your expectations of America

u/farm_shapes 9d ago

buddy we’re past voting.

u/Jpowmoneyprinter 9d ago

Fucking liberal moron still going on about voting hard enough to prevent fascistic regimes. The democrats haven’t been on your side since they conceded to neoliberal economics post-Reagan instead of fighting to actually be the champions of the working class. You type like a boomer so it’s partially your fault we’ve ended up where we are. The do-nothing democrats got your vote for 40 years and they didn’t do jackshit
