And I’m gonna go ahead and give you a news headline from either next month or from December: “Military illegally deployed to American cities as fears of a second civil war mount”.
The DNC has written a sternly worded letter in response.
Susan Collins is going to express deep concern about it... and that's it.
And vote to increase funding for it.
And get reelected because we can’t have the anyone less than 80 in the senate.
What are you talking about, I’ll bet her brow furrows harder than ever. Thats a true consequence in these united states if I’ve ever heard one.
Hey whoa I'm trying to be realistic. No need to get so graphic.
And a couple months after that "No Kings 3 protest planned"
“The US military is shooting civilians that don’t agree with the president. Is this the first step toward fascism?”
He's gonna end up like Mussolini lol
My vote is for Gaddafi
I'm hoping for the Ceausescu treatment, honestly
I really really hope for a Hitler style ending.
Feeling the enemies close in as all your plans so far simply evaporated, surrounded, no way out, except for biting onto the barrel of a gun...
Too "on his own terms" for my liking.
Agreed.
I’d love to see him deported to one of these awful prisons they’ve been sending people to die at.
Is it though?
The options at that point are: the coward's way out, or taking responsibility while seeing everything you "built", be destroyed.
it's not really "on his own terms", is it?
addy also took a good chunk of his cabinet and cronies with him over the years.
But the problem with that is the sheer amount of violence required to get that point. I am... not that optimistic that we have a peaceful transition of power. But I would still rather not a full blown fourth reich along the way.
We're really being squeezed into a bad spot where there are no good options. Do nothing, and the dictatorship continues to kill thousands or millions. Fight back, and many will end up dead on both sides. Those 2A "no step on snek" folks sure are quiet...
By the way, this has been Stephen Miller's plan all along, which is also why they're stopping SNAP, so they can further provoke a starving population into violence and use it as a pretense to deploy full-force military into blue cities.
Then they would further suppress any opposition by claiming terrorists (already at this step, but they would increase it even more), and bam suddenly we'd be in a Putin-esque hellscape.
Yeah. I am deeply terrified of what happens next week (let alone as we get closer to thanksgiving travel and the like) when SNAP et al shut down. People are going to be hungry and people are already VERY armed. And the most impulsively violent crowd tends to be the ones who actually believe "its the democrats behind the shutdown" and... yeah.
It's obvious but I didn't even consider the starving poor MAGA folks will think they aren't being fed because of Democrats, and then go after them. Ya know because they are generally more violent and deeply angry in their cores.
But of course, they'll be reported in the news as "violent 'anteefa' extremists", despite their beat-up lifted truck sporting "Trump 2028" bumper stickers and confederate flags.
Excellent gif choice.
One can dream
Yes, and it'll be a shame that future generations won't get the chance to defile his remains repeatedly.
I kind of like the idea of using trees as headstones.
In trump's case, we can strap one of these to it.
Can we just... not? I don't want to fight any wars over this buffoon. Now Stephen Miller I feel differently about, but once you get rid of the root of the problem (propaganda from Fox, Newsmax, OAN, TPUSA) everything else will fall into line.
The root of the problem goes back further: we never finished the job of Reconstruction. Most of them will die of old age before changing.
From your lips to gods ear
At least we can use that dumb Arc de Trump plaza for something....
Yeah unchecked power without anyone restraining it tends to end up like that
Stroke out already rapist pedophile syphilitic diaper boy
I kinda hope he orders the Navy into Minneapolis. That'd be hillarious.
City of lakes and all, they'll send in the canoe division
The new aircraft carrier that’s decked out in gold- USS Trump. But it’ll be doing an evergrande impression before it ever gets into the state.
I'd rather see it do an Edmund Fitzgerald
it'd have to reach the great lakes first.
It'll still sink when they try to pull it out, though.
Where’s all the he didn’t mean it fuckers at?
Still all over the place and still claiming it's all just 'owning the libs'.
Just yesterday I heard a republican congressman saying "He's just trolling the democrats".
Navy's gonna have to battle the Crimson Permanent Assurance company.
It's all tax deductible
We're fairly incorruptible
OOOO I've always wanted to use thermite on a navy boat!
I've been super curious how much thermite would be required to punch a hole from the deck through the hull.
Why wait, start now!
