You must be a troll account because I don't understand how someone could be this naive. They tried to overthrow the government in 2021... And they'll try again. I don't understand how you can't see that. Sticking your fingers in your ears ignoring reality won't change reality.

Remember them chanting "hang Mike Pence"? And up until the end, he was on their side.. What do you think they'll do when you're not on their side?

If trump getting into office meant chuds guillotining all of Congress I might actually be motivated to vote

They tried to overthrow the government in 2021

A bunch of morons walked into the capitol and then immediately fizzled out. They tried to overthrow the government in the same way that a Toddler tries to cook dinner. The intention is there but neither Trump nor his supporters understand the real politck enough to do anything significant.

Ironically, keeping Trump relevant is the only thing stopping a highly motivated and smart fascist from using the far-reaching powers of the president, expanded under both the Democrats and Reps btw, to become a dictator.

And they'll fail again because their last attempt to overthrow the government was to smear shit on the wall of the Capital building.

You still haven't answered my questions, if Trump could be a dictator, how did Biden take power? All you're arguements are what trump wants to be mixed with insults. Historically, Trump cannot do what he says, already tried to be a dictator, and yet the democratic institutions prevented it from happening, so again, how would that happen unless all those democratic institutions (the ones that transfered power to Biden) suddenly decided to agree with Trump? And if all those institutions did agree with Trump, then Trump isn't required at all, and the bigger problem would be those institutions. The president isnt a dictator just because he says he wants to be. I want to live in a country that isn't simply three weapons manufacturers in a trench coat, but just saying that isn't going to cut it.

Bro I'm done. I don't have the energy to have a fun little fight, we're not gonna change each others mind, you'll log this as a 'win' in your book, smirking behind you're phone or computer, I don't really care. I'm in the middle of fixing my car and I don't really care about fighting with you enough to keep going. Just remember this convo when you have a shocked pikachu face when shit hits the fan. Maybe they won't succeed, but they're sure as hell gonna try again.

You keep refusing to answer a question because you can't, you have nothing but appeal to emotion which is why you keep talking like the world is going to end. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_emotion at least read up on it. Talk to someone even, if you honestly think MAGA chuds with kill lists are going to roam America you need help. Especially when the cops already have a monopoly on that.

[–] lemmy_user_838586@lemmy.ml -4 points 7 months ago

I refuse! Refuse, you hear me!

[–] lemmy_user_838586@lemmy.ml -4 points 7 months ago

Fight more, fight more!

Agreed @lemmy_user_838586@lemmy.ml totally real lib strawman.

I'm on their side too. It's a shame they couldn't put Pence out of his misery for the good of humanity.

They tried to overthrow the government in 2021

A riot by a few hundred civilians in the Capitol building isn't really an attempted overthrow mate

Downvote me all you want. I guess you'll be ignoring reality to the bitter end of democracy.

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

America is not a democracy

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

You talk a lot for someone who refuses to answer a question, and you accuse other of trolling a lot for a account that looks like its name was generated by a LLM.

reminds me of something.

[–] lemmy_user_838586@lemmy.ml -3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Yes! Keep going man! Hilariously we're on the same side, neither of us want Trump. Can't wait to have more fun convoys with you!

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

If we were on the same side you wouldn't be shilling for genocidal capitalists.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

Lol you think we have a democracy
