Trump was never found guilty of insurrection because the biden admin slow walked the case, and then he won the presidency, ending it for good.

It says nothing about being a felon 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also learn to not shit on the second amendment:

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary - Karl Marx

They’re never retiring. They’ll prop up their dead corpses to hold onto power.

That sounds most realistic.

Oh the democrats did not learn a goddamn thing from 2016 let alone 2024.

I know it sounds completely crazy, and it is completely crazy, but I think there’s a damn good chance my state will secede if Canada shuts off our electric. Especially if they do that in the winter. I now have it on my utterly batshit insane what could go wrong 2025 bingo card.

The other thing that might make us secede is if they try fucking with our state constitutional right to abortion. If both happen, I think we will secede. Maybe join Quebec or maybe become our own spot of Canada or maybe be fully independent like we were before the United States existed.

I’m pretty damn cynical but I’d be surprised if they could pull of a constitutional convention.

I actually think it’s more likely my state would secede than a constitutional convention being successful. Especially if we end up in a tariff war with Canada and Quebec hydro shuts off power to us…

I’m aware of that, I’m not aware that they’re required to be American born, it would be an interesting constitutional question if the president and VP died and the speaker of the house wasn’t American born.

Edit - looking into it further, I don’t see the same qualifications being required as president and vp. For example, one only has to be 25 and up to be speaker of the house, yet one has to be 35 for president or vp. So again, I wonder if they elected a 25 year old as speaker and then a plane crashed with the president and vp on board (not possible they don’t fly together but let’s play pretend) I wonder if the speaker would be promoted to president to maintain continuity of government or if they’d be passed over to whoever’s fourth in line that meets qualifications.

Can’t modify the constitution without a convention, a constitutional convention needs 2/3 of the states to agree to the changes IIRC, that’s why there hasn’t been an amendment passed in a very long time.

Assuming they follow the rule of law, which they likely won’t.

I guessed back when the patriot act was signed after 9/11 that we’d have a fascist dictatorship by 2025. Well….

I really wish my ability to see patterns applied to seeing winning lottery numbers :(

I don’t think that matters for speaker of the house? It does matter for president and vp

Assuming they don’t throw away the constitution that their base likes to jerk off too, how would musk qualify? He’s not American born. That and being over 35 are pretty much the only requirements.

Right? Wild how they couldn’t go after trump for J6, had to take four years just to get the ball fucking rolling just in time for the charges to bounce off Teflon don.

Luigi should run for office. I don’t know which, he’s probably not old enough to be president, but he should run for something. Then he can’t be charged because it’s interfering with an election, right?

Spoiler candidates

You’ll never learn.

To be fair Luigi is a member of the bourgeoisie.

Also re cop city, that was going to happen anyways. the state has been steadily consolidating power and removing the ability of meaningful dissent for decades now - arguably since 9/11 but even before they were clamping down on the left although with less of a security state apparatus.

The half or so that own property and 401Ks do. Those numbers are shrinking and will continue to shrink under grinding neoliberalism, continuing wealth concentration, and collapsing empire.

And they’ll blame anybody but the elites responsible. If only they’re good little boys and girls they too can be members of the elite. The idea that society will revolt en masse is comical in 2024. Unlike the late 1800s early 1900s there was not nearly as much propaganda and brainwashing as there is today. The elites already won when it comes to manufacturing consent for labor slavery.

Which is why stochastic terrorism will be the way forward. Pluck off enough elites and they’ll be frightened into serious reforms.

History rhymes it doesn’t repeat - this revolution will not be a repeat of any prior one.

French Revolution deposed rulers. Didn’t take many to get shit done. ML is a whole bunch of organizing people who’ve been brainwashed for a century to suddenly lose their brainwashing. Doesn’t work.

Disagree. French Revolution. Depose our rulers.

Also, y’all MLs are stuck in the past. What worked in 1900 isn’t going to work today. Stochastic terrorism picking off our leaders one by one is how things are going to go in 2024.

You’re not going to “revolutionize” the public. Most don’t give a shit. They care about their property values and their 401Ks. Y’all live in fucking la la land where it’s still the late 1800s.

I agree that is probably a better option. How do you get connects to be private security for a billionaire though?

You clearly missed the point. Ends justify the means - join the military, get excellent training and inside knowledge and connections into the private security world, become a guard for a billionaire, turn on them, profit?

I love how they’re trying to paint him as a working class hero (see the cringe NYT opinion piece as an example) when he’s a class traitor who screwed over other working class people to enrich himself.
