Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!

  America just elected a convicted felon. The shit you just wrote is demonstrably a fucking lie.

    That reminds me, isn’t his sentencing coming up in a couple of weeks?

        The sentencing happens before he has any power.

        Plus, any state charges can’t be pardoned by a president.

      Trump won’t even be alive in 4 years. He looks like he’s knocking on heaven’s door right now. We’re going to have Vance the Couch Fucker as president.

        Heavens door thats pushing it?

        I think vance is just playing an excellent political game. If u read his wikepedia he is actually quite progressive on many things.

  He’s literally said that people “won’t have to worry about voting” once he’s in power. Sounds like a direct threat to democracy, no?

    At some point it becomes impossible to tell what is something Trump really believes and might actually do versus what is just blowing smoke, blatant lying, a thing that contradicts another thing he said, or something he forgot he said.

        My understanding of the context of that was he is talking about was getting the Christians out to vote “just this time” then they wont have to do it again. Doesnt sounds like authoritarian rule sounds like asking a group of people to make the effort just this once.
