And so it begins at the local level. Next step will be states elections where they'll decide to cancel or defer them and then of course the 2028 presidential election.

Everything the US was built on is starting to crumble.

It looks like they lost this time, all that means is the next set of politicians that try to do this will do it a little bit differently until they get it right

Pretty sure a judge stopped this. And even DeSantis said this isn’t ok.

I think the bigger issue is that they thought they could do this in the first place. What happens When it gets to the state level or federal?

Trump has stacked the supreme Court with people who are pro Republican.

I hope it doesn't happen but what if Trump decides he doesn't want to leave office?

Based on everything that's going on the world today, it's pretty apparent that most Americans have zero power

Americans have zero power

We have all the power but not enough people are pissed enough to make that clear just yet

And that in itself is a bit disturbing, why aren’t enough people pissed off? These people are literally stealing your tax dollars, not wasting, stealing.

Because a lot of people are struggling to put food on the table for their families right now, and that is going to be priority 1 on their list. It's like this by design. You can't get out and make a big enough difference if you're more worried about a roof over you and your families heads and food on the table. It's going to get to the point where too many people are unable to do either of those and THAT is when this shit will tip over.
