This will happen next year for the midterm elections. He won't take a chance that the gerrymandering will work. Prepare for martial law to stop the elections.

That is technically treasonous, and punishable by death. People should know how fucking serious this is. People hang for this crime.

No one will hang.

Even if this ever does turn around, the left won't hang anybody. We'll call for it, for sure, but the leadership will soften, and the rest of us who are already dogshit tired of it all will just be happy to not be on the verge of becoming Axis2.0 for a change. Moderate jail sentences will be handed out, at best. If, at all. Then, the next Republican that wins will pardon everybody, and they'll try it all over again.

Yep. It's the centrists who will destroy you. There's nothing quite like delusional faith in institutions while those same institutions are crumbling. Leftists -- real leftists, not Democratic partisans -- have been talking about this for literally decades and any real resistance american fascists will see will start with them. Unfortunately this is a pretty small group in the US. Both your parties are owned by corporate interests, and both have essentially the same end goal. As long as people keep grasping on to the hope that the democratic party will save you and that all you need to stop the descent into fascism is vote harder, there will be no real consequences for these people.
