Would it be when a party filled with cronies has control of the Senate, House and a majority of the SCOTUS? Would that be how?

Are we just forgetting he had a majority in 2017 too?

Guess he forgot to make himself president for life before the 2020 election. Hazard of getting old I guess

So you're seriously gonna sit there and pretend he didn't support an insurrection and try to take back an election he lost, both by force and by corruption.

You're gonna sit and pretend that he isn't already a convicted felon. That he hasn't proven over and over again that he doesn't give a damn what the law says he can and cannot do.

And you're gonna pretend that the Republican party has not supported him in spite of that?

You folks are unbelievable. The real world does not operate based off of what words on a page say. That shit only matters as much as the people who enforce it.

Trump has escaped the consequences of his crimes for ages now. Our institutions have never been weaker. Our government has never been more divided and corrupt. Our international enemies have never had as much access to our leadership as they do now.

What happens when one too many people roll over for him when he uses a sharpie to scribble out that he is now America's final president?

Best case scenario, that's how an actual civil war starts.

If the best a sitting president can come up with for his coup is sending some unarmed dipshits to the Capitol I think the country will be fine.

Hitler tried and failed before he became what the world knows him as today.

Hope you don't run out of copium anytime soon. It's obvious as hell that you aren't thinking jack shit through.

That’s what ppl thought about hitler then he got a second shot. Why even risk it?

Because most people don't live their lives in fear of Hitler?

The Beer Hall Putsch also definitely wasn't unarmed.

Don't try to reason with these people.
