There is no logic in threatening prosecution for attempting a dictatorship.
Those who attempt try to succeed. There is no prosecution in a successful dictatorship.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Democrats Need to Make Republicans Fear the Consequences of Attempting a Dictatorship
(washingtonmonthly.com)
To employ the crude vernacular, no Democrat has the requisite reproductive organs necessary to solve MAGA, either testicles or ovaries.
what are boobs if not balls for the chest? chesticles if you will, and what are balls, if not the small wrickly dangly boobs between your legs.
it does not matter, as dems have neither :) (i wanted to be a part of ur silliness I apologize in advance)

Sadly Democrats couldn't make Republicans fear a Lovecraftian Horror.
So, we should summon a Lovecraftian Horror?
you can't use rule of law to stop rule of man
that just doesn't work; and when it fails one ends up with some version of the plot from Seven Against Thebes
Fund wfh, Dems are pathetic and compromised.
Make sure to buy guns
By shifting to the right apparently
I said this years ago after J6: if liberals wanted to maintain liberal democracy, they had to literally hang Trump after J6 and the false electors scheme. Instead he faced 0 consequences, so he (and the fascists around him) decided they could just keep trying different coup strategies until they found the one that works. Liberals let them iteratively test coup strategies.
Well so far they've been holding signs in congress... that's a very effective way in fact I remember the first pustch attempted by Hitler was entirely halted by mild mannered people holding signs.
I have said it before but republicans need to become irrelevant to the point they change the party name again.
Well, unless the Dem voters quit expecting their reps to do something about the situation, it's not gonna change.
We all do, not just those in the office
Especially since those in office don't seem particularly interested.
Attempting?
Fear the Consequences? Have they run that Idea by DNC Leadership? Because the LAST Thing they would WANT to do is HURT Republican Voters FEEWINGS NO MATTER THE COST!
I'm sure a pink shirt and a flag will do the trick!
I think that you guys need to get over your fear of introducing another political party, so that the Democrats can be made to fear the consequences of being a bunch of animated fucking corpses that are too busy maintaining the status quo to listen to their voters or show any signs of actual life.
Pretty sure they only need to cash their AIPAC/lobbying checks.
And if Demoocrats won't, then the general population will need to do it.
