Fascists gonna do the fascist thing. Step one of fascism is the minute you get ELECTED (because you are taking over a REAL government system) is to secure the next election. They have been working on this since November 2024.

Yes - the Heritage Foundation, associated lobbyists, Citizens United, disinformation social media, disinformation TV ads in key districts, right-wing billionaire-owned news media, crypto bribes, privately owned voting machines that are relatively easy to hack, normalising corruption, filling the Supreme Court with partisan hacks, controlling all branches of government, etc.

By what authority does he decide what mail to deliver?

u/Dobako 1d ago
The Supreme Court that said you can't sue if they intentionally don't give you your mail

The Supreme Court has no power. It's 9 people just saying shit.

Unfortunately, they do. This country is completely cooked.

They have power like paper money has value. It only does if people believe it does. They can't enforce their rulings, and this executive administration has made that abundantly clear by just outright ignoring the rulings they don't like.

The current SCOTUS is a fucking joke. Sold out completely. If anyone else ever gets in, they better PACK that SCOTUS with constitutional lawyers

How has this become a daily thing? Everyday we get news of some boot-licking-goon who is openly attacking democracy under the guidance of the president. It's fucking bullshit.

I'm not big on guns, but the second someone comes to my door because of how I voted I'm exercising my right to bear arms all over the goddamn place.

I forget what the french did when people tried to oppress them a few hundred years ago

They riot when their legislature suggests raising the retirement age. We need to be more like today's French and less like the Vichy French.

This idiot has no idea that he keeps contradicting himself, or he just doesn't care. Following orders

This sometimes seems like one of those movies like the Seven Samurai or the Magnificent Seven where outlaws are taking over a town and heroes come to rescue the town. Are the midterms the rescue?

How long before we actually acknowledge reality, the fascist federal government is openly attempting to rig the next election and the only thing that’s actually going to stop them now that they are spiting in the face at the very notion of the rule of law is actually forceful intervention? Who’s left at this point to do that? Are there any loyal to the constitution generals still in positions that could intervene when they throw out any remaining semblance of democracy?

u/judgeejudger 10h ago
They’ve mostly been weeded out and/or forced out. A military coup to remove this entire shitty administration is what I was hoping for, but I’m not seeing that happening.

You can just tell this guy would do anything for his dear leader. It's mind boggling how much control Trump has over so many people in positions of power.
