Hey, so all the people who told me they need their guns "to fight tyranny"... They're gearing up, right?

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.

No, because "tyranny" to them means "things I don't like." They like Trump's tyranny.
Nope, Trump is also taking their guns away
It's funny actually (in a bad way)

I would love it if he undermined any potential candidates to replace him, convinced that he would be able to get elected for a third term, only to lose a long drawn out fight over eligibility. Or just die. It would be a wonderful irony to have the Republicans scramble for a last minute replacement candidate because their octogenarian incumbent refused to back down.
Trump is NOT making it to January 2029
thiel and yarvin will, though.
Thiel is a bitch who had an on air panic attack when he heard a ceo got assassinated in nyc
And yarvin is a spineless bitch who only has balls to preach his bullshit to idiotic billionaires behind the scenes
Henry Kissenger lived to 100 and Carl Sagan died at 62 from cancer. I'm not in anyway religious or superstitious, but given how unfair things can be sometimes I'm not convinced the high heel wearing, pants shitting, Nazi loving sociopath is going to die soon. He somehow survived covid despite having so many risk factors.
I won't be mad if he does, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Also fuck Elon Cuck.

This is a distraction. What else came out today? I see the FBI disappeared a professor, but Trump doesn't give a shit about that.
They didn't disappear him, he disappeared, and they're looking for him.
A distraction? Are you for real? This is serious shit too.
Yes but this doesn't matter until 2028, what they are doing today is more urgent
Maybe you're new to US elections, but these campaigns start almost immediately after the previous election.
It's an endless fucking nightmare, and unfortunately for us all, this is also urgent.

He had to threaten big auto not to raise prices because guess what, tariffs raise prices.

How about fighting people of the USA? How can you all be so numb in the face of fascism? Stop with this democratic party bs, they have never acted in your interests and they never will, they are all bought. Do something, anything.
If there is a time to take back what's yours it's now, if not, your children or/and the children of your fellow countrymen will become slaves, if lucky, if they are queer, or something the "government" doesn't like they will end up either dead or they will kill themselves, it's that simple.
I cannot grasp how this country can be so weak in front of a geriatric manchild that keeps on soiling himself and spitting in his constituents' faces.
You can keep on deluding yourself with the habitual: "meh we protest", "meh medias", "meh bernie sanders and aoc got our backs", "meh judges and military won’t follow illegal orders" and all this wishful thinking.
In the eyes of the world, you are the most pitiful and pathetic "developed" country that has ever walked on this planet.
do something wtf
edit: Bring on the votes down, it won’t change the reality you are facing.
He saw that ukraine had to cancel elections because of the war and will do the same.
It was his goal well before Zelensky, I mean he tried a coup d’etat in 2020 and slept with a mein kampf on his night table.
Hard agree. At this point I have zero respect for American liberals and conservatives.
He is just gonna stay president and no one will do anything cause his admin already does whatever they want, this country is cooked.
If you ever asked yourself “what would I have done during Hitlers rise to unchallenged power” you are doing it right now.
Step 1: Refuse to leave office
Step 2: Ignore people who complain because they won't do shit about it
Step 3: Profit!
It worked for Maduro in Venezuela, and HitlerPig has even referred to it in the past. America is essentially run on the Honor System, which they have exposed in so many ways, and since they have no honor of any kind, they dont mind ruthlessly, enthusiastically exploiting that loophole.
What if he simply refuses to vacate the White House, and Congress and the DoJ continue to demonstrate their loyalty to him over whoever is elected? Who would forcibly remove him from office?
That's if they a) have an election at all, b) have a free election in which another candidate can win, or c) dont simply rig the election the way they did in 2024.
In fact, IF they allow an election (they'll probably just use Martial Law to suspend elections), HitlerPig will win with 98% of the vote, and claim that the people have chosen to amend the Constitution on their own, without Congress, and presidential term limits have been voted down.
He'll be president of a wasteland
Another settlement needs your help.
The US will be bankrupt and parted out before the end of this term.
I can’t wait to hear the progressives tell us why we shouldn’t vote for whichever democrat runs against him.
The primary is the time to vote for the candidate you believe in. The general is for whichever aligns better (not perfectly, but better) with your interests. Not that hard.
It’s so fucking sad but true.
what’s sad is still believing in a two party system both paid by the same entities.
Oh good, more shitting on progressives for no good reason.
While Progressive Left largely backed candidates other than Biden during the 2020 Democratic primaries, they overwhelmingly voted for him in the general election and now solidly support him. A September survey found a large majority approves of Biden’s job performance (82%), and majorities express confidence in his handling of most issues.
It just seems like you hate progressives for no particular reason despite them being the passionate part of the party.
But who knows, maybe electing a centrist will work this time; after all, we've got to get those sweet conservative votes.
Barack Obama vs Donald Trump for President in 2028?
Promise him eternal life if they let us freeze him in a cryonics facility and then let his loyalists maintain the freezer with his disembodied head in a jar figure out how to make him their God emperor or whatever.
