oh yea, it'll be all "we need to come together" and "we're going to help everybody" for the next 2 months

then, the instant he steps into office, freedom of speech: gone. freedom of the press: gone. EPA: gone. dept. of education: gone. SEC: gone. consumer protections, civil rights, equality, accountability, justice-- all. fucking. gone.

expect mass imprisonments, assassinations, and other removals

"that can't happen in this country!!" you might be saying. why not? because of "checks and balances"? LOL

you have about 2 months to prepare your asshole

People were like ‘the president wouldn’t assassinate his own people or work with enemy foreign nations to do so!’ but then they turned a blind eye to Trump’s security ‘lapses’ and the distinctly sharp rise in the deaths of our undercover operatives around the globe.

He will sell out America, spill its blood for his own gain, and he already has.

and we're leaving out implications at the local level. why would a trumper sheriff bother going after someone for murdering marginalized peoples? why would any lawyer take up any case against a trump appointed judge (spoiler alert: it'll be all of them, soon)?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

Abbott already pardoned some shitbag for murder because he was a conservative who murdered a liberal.

Also, remember that this follows HOT on the heels of SCOTUS saying "basically anything a President does is legal". This theoretically means Trump and his admin could sidestep Congress entirely, on anything. Trump was already ruling by EO last term, but I suspect we haven't seen anything yet.

Kinda makes you wonder why Joe Biden didn't take advantage of that at any point over the last several months when so much is at stake.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There can't be checks and balances when both are in the same hand.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There are plenty of checks and balances. People write the checks, other people apply them to their balances.

[–] oxjox@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's actually so much at stake that I lost track of it all. Absolutely mind blowing that a single American could vote for him let alone the majority. I do not understand why Americans hate America.

just read up on 1930s germany

[–] zante@slrpnk.net -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
