There is no ambiguity here. This is it. They're dumpstering the constitution right now and clapping while it happens. As somebody on the left side, I'm livid. I've heard for years and years and years that we can't have nice things because of the constitution, I even came around to believe in the constraints of the constitution, and it turns out that the conservative allegiance to the constitution was about as real as their belief in Christ's teachings.

At what point do the Trumpers finally acknowledge that Trump doesn't give a shit about them, isn't doing anything to help them, and has installed a billionaire oligarchy tearing apart the institutions of government that help and protect them?

Only when it personally affects them and there’s no plausible deniability regarding the cause.

These are people who failed the marshmallow test as kids. You have to keep your expectations low.

When the leopards have eaten their faces?

Probably when they're tried in the Hague after it's all over?

I think that there are some Trumpers who will continue to insist that it was all a political witch hunt by the leftist pedophile drag queen deep state even then.

When do people in a cult see that their leader is just using them for money? Sometime after the mass suicide.

Those cunts are a total loss. There is no hope for them.

I have a friend who was a student during the revolution in Iran. They had high hopes for the country post-Shah but very quickly realized that it had gone wrong and left to move to Canada. The military is the final line of defense. That are sworn to protect the constitution. The only thing that can save the US now is if the military does its duty.

They so badly want a dictatorship for him.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

Well, when the president is above the law, it is a dictatorship. Judges can say this or that, trump does not give a shit and do not listen to them. Consequence? none, so he continues.

He'd sign everything that they'd put before him. For some profit and ego boost he's happy to be anyone's proxy. Orange-painted gramps screaming hashtags isn't him present, he is golfing and chilling at Mar-o-lago in luxury, but it's a walking condom mask of him that earns money and power.
