What would you propose? Donating money to blackhole political organizations? Taking to the streets? None of that, or much of anything else, will "do something about this". There is no doing anything about this. It's also just meaningless posturing, just another tantrum by a man-child.

Those who have a problem with it can vote for Democrats, I guess. Elections do have consequences.

If only there was a clause in your constitution that you hold particularly dear and deals with tyrannical governments. Either that or wait 3 years, show's just as entertaining for the rest of us.

do not, under any circumstances, RSVP to a protest

The same thing you would do if this were to happen in the middle east. Or do you only fight for "democracy" abroad?

That's only a handful of the poor, the rest became software devs after they left the coal mines and auto manufacturers/s

I'm all for it! :)

Lets not pretend that this government will allow the Democrats to win those elections. They are going to do anything they can to fuck with the results.

That only works if elections can be considered fair and square. With this government the chance they will try to turn it into something more like a Russian election is way above 0%, and most likely will reach about 100%.

Will there be a midterm? Will the national guard prevent and/or interfere with the elections in cities controlled by the Democrats where they are being deployed ensuring the "correct" outcome?
17. slater ◴[] No.45349813{3}[source]
They always do. I can only hope (and yes, that's a Planck-length-width sliver of hope) that the dem votes will be too overwhelming to ignore/fuck-with.

Yes, I know.

Will fight for democracy anywhere there's oil to be extracted.

They're busy preparing for Venezuela now.

What would you do if this were to happen in the middle east? I'm not understanding what you're implying.

Weird and baseless claim tbh, especially considering that Democrats have been cheating in elections as of late.

I wouldn't do anything, my country doesn't have a Department of War, a war economy, a military industrial complex or the right the bear arms and form a militia to overthrow tyrannical governments.

Any evidence at all for this claim?
