    Am I taking crazy pills? What does it matter if something is unpopular with voters in the second term? Was he going to run again? Many have claimed he’ll subvert the next elections anyway, so- why does it matter? Is he also not 79 and visibly ill? Am I insane?

    The current admin is seemingly guaranteed to have a break anyways, dems will win out- do nothing obama-biden style, and the same conditions that allowed a Trump to rise, will allow a much more competent Trump to rise again- shut up.

      The most frustrating part of that cycle is when they celebrate in the streets as if the revolutionaries toppled DC when all they did was vote a guy out in favor of another guy who will enable his policies.

      Do nothing obama biden style? Like when obama bombed the shit out of Libya or when Biden lied about a ceasefire and provided weapons for israel and ukraine?

      Now south america is being strangled and gagged for its resources, all to fuel wars the capitalist bipartisanship have fueled in lust for profits for its slopexgange (wallstreet)

      I want this shit to fucking stop. So yeah, it does matter. I have to pay triple the attention to the ins and outs of the pedophilic blood circus that is washington because what becomes policy there is reflected here with bootlickers: Ecuador, Chile, Argentina have as presidents. You don’t fall in line? you get Maduro’d.

        Continuity is doing nothing. Do nothing as in, promise no meaningful change and provide no meaningful change.

        Yeah, do nothing as in do nothing to re-distribute the spoils of imperialism and sate the fervor of the soon-to-be fascist sympathetic masses

          And if we vote in a mamdani-like who will effectively save capitalism by re-distributing the spoils of imperialism- we’ll have just saved capitalism- again!

    If this happens, I wish someone in the US Army refuses an order to participate in the war, arguing that he will not follow illegal orders, because only Congress has the right to declare war. Assuming this goes to a non-military court, we would finally have a case against the president’s ability to wage war which is very very clearly very unconstitutional.

    So, this is what would do it? Not everything else?

    Fine, whatever it takes, I guess, but I’m not buying it.

        At the moment I’d worry more about the countries bombing most civilians: Israel, Russia and US&A. Great company.

    He is not going to take a country of 80M people that is about the geographic size of 1/3 of the continental US with just a few thousand troops.

    The only thing that will kill it is when the people who are maneuvering to seize power no longer need him to do so.
