He is a fucking traitor. We have literally executed people in this country for the same crimes he is alleged to have committed. Ignoring that really serves to undermine the severity of the situation.
Not to mention the tradition. Sharpen your pitchforks, y’all.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re saying here?
Authoritarians do not leave office over something trivial like losing a vote. Or have you just not been paying attention to history at all?
If Trump gets in again, Republicans won’t be losing power through vote again.
Don’t be pedantic. I was clarifying what the previous poster meant by their comment since it was kind of nebulous.
I’m fully aware of the dangers of authoritarianism historically, presently, and in the future.
I would infer it as the “peasants revolt” using farm instruments instead of purposely design weapons if war to defend you and yours, and to overthrow tyrants.
I realize that now. It was more the “tradition” part that had me confused. Either way, appreciate the more friendly explanation 😉
Then why any confusion on pitchforks? If authoritarians take over …
T00l_shed gets it.
See my above comment. It wasn’t the pitchfork part I was confused about.
I’m not sure a pitchfork is going to do anything if he succeeds in the way you are implying. You’re gonna want a gun.

It’s this. Trump is looking at prison because he actually did crimes. (Biden didn’t indict him. A jury of regular people did, so this is not Biden trying to put Trump in jail. Trump did crimes.) If Trump had enough loyalist in the right places, then Trump would have stayed in power. Trump and wicked republicans did have a plan to end our democracy. They will try again. Trump wants to use the military to force his will on us.
And I am a gay man, atheist, and progressive/left. I am one of the “rats” Trump/maga wants to punish in their revenge presidency.
As a mom of a special needs daughter, I fear for what he and the GOP have planned for my child’s and my basic human rights. I know they think I’m vermin. I cannot fathom what future they think my child should have.
Have you considered getting armed and firearms training? Shit will get real next year and you might have to defend yourself and your daughter.
We all desperately need to, in actual fact
Citizens with guns are good for defending against regular criminals but if Trump gets the military we can’t fight against them.
The same military that got run out of Afghanistan and Vietnam?
Sure, that might have been due to “public pressure” or “politics” but I think bombing Chicago or rolling tanks down the highway in Dallas will be pretty unpopular, politically.
Add to that the fact that there are a lot of very talented people who would suddenly have a very direct and morally unambiguous target. Did the FBI ever catch the dumb asshole who shot up the substation in NC a year or so back?
It wouldn’t be a decisive win for either side. And who knows how many people in the military would defect, quit, or refuse to fight.
We really don’t know what would happen in the scenario.
You’re going to be hard pressed if you think most soldiers are going to be a-okay with dropping agent orange in their own hometown.
Rats jumping off a sinking ship. These pussies say this shit years after all of us with sense have been echoing this point.
Yeah. I called him a clear and present danger six years ago. Where’s my book deal?
all of his supporters are traitors as well
now that I’m not benefiting from his maniacal psychosis, i want to declare it!
Sadly accurate.
No shit.
And I’ll STILL vote for him because my hate for Gay and Black Kids transcends my Love for America!
The America they love doesn’t have LGBTQIA+ or black people.
They don’t want them in their country.
Patriots, to arms
Either Kelly or Mattis, gotta be.
They’ve both spoken out publicly before though, right? Article said this person hasn’t.
I’m not sure Mattis has, though who can keep up? Not me, probably.
Geez he gets greasier in every picture lately. Guh.
That is the complete truth for sure.
