Fetterman was a good candidate, until his stroke. Studies have demonstrated that stokes often lead people to adopt conservative values, and that seems to have happened to Fetterman.

However, we should pump the brakes on his resignation. He is still a Democrat, and he adds to the close minority that Democrats have. He fulfills a similar role as Manchin did in the Senate. He may support the Republicans now and then, but he still gave the Dems the majority, which kept the Dems in charge of all committees, including investigative committees.

The Dems have the possibility of gaining the majority in Congress with just a few more seats. Mike Waltz' seat is up for grabs in Florida, and it was considered a safe Republican seat, but it is being challenged by Josh Weill, a Dem who is running a vicious Republican style campaign, and the Reps are extremely worried it might flip. Weill has raised 10x the money of his generally disliked Republican opponent, and still has about 10x the money on hand for the final stretch (April 1 is the election), versus about $100K for the Rep. Weill commercials, which look and sound like Republican attack ads, and never mention that Weill is a Democrat, are flooding thebairwaves, with very little response from the opponent, whose entire campaign is based on supporting HitlerPig. A few flips like that over the next year or so, and the Dems might get the majority.

Of course, Weill is still at the mercy of the Florida election system, which is fully rigged. I doubt DeSantis will let Weill win. Sorry to piss on the parade.

The bottom line is that Pennsylvania is a bright purple state, and very unpredictable. If Fetterman resigns, he might well be replaced by Republican, putting a Dem majority even further away.

You make some excellent points, and the Nazis took a few years to get to their very worst policies. The roots of the Final Solution started around 1936, when they first embarked on a program to euthanize mentally and physically handicapped citizens.

Yet the Nazis' first moves upon taking power happened very quickly, such as the Enabling Act, which consolidated power in Hitler's hands (HitlerPig actually did the same thing sooner than Hitler did). The Nazis used a blitzkrieg strategy on their own government, before they employed it as a battle strategy, and the MAGANazi's are doing the same thing.

Sure, the Nazis didn't do everything, everywhere, all at once, mostly because it all takes time. Today, with the Internet and social media, it can happen a lot faster. HitlerPig is moving fast, but they still have strategies and policies that they will release over time, because even with the Internet, some stuff still takes time. If you want to detain massive numbers of the opposition, you need a place to hold them, so they have to wait until their 30,000 inmate facility in Guantanamo Bay is finished.

Sure, they would have risen up, but at the time of Biden's inauguration, the most enthusiastically violent MAGAs, the worst of the worst, were being actively hunted by the FBI for their crimes on January 6. Most were hiding out, hoping that their family, their neighbors, their coworkers, etc. wouldn't turn them into the authorities. Some would be dumb enough to fight back, but most would do their beat to stay under the radar.

That leaves the rest, who were basically the B-Team. They didn't heed the call to Jan 6, so they had some sense of understanding of the consequences of such actions. They would have understood that HitlerPig and his henchmen were being detained for Jan 6 (we didn't know about the False Elctors or the Classified Documents theft yet), and while they wouldn't like it, they would know it's a legit charge. While they might scream a lot, most wouldn't take up arms. They are cowards, and their bark is always worse than their bite.

As for the rest, the more rabid MAGA animals, they could have been easily mopped up by the authorities. If the local cops won't help, the FBI or State can step in, deal with the criminals, and then sanction the local cops.

Sure, detaining the MAGA leadership for Sedition would have caused a huge outcry, and almost certainly some violence, but the violence that it will require to reverse them now that they are entrenched in our government will be far, far worse, and cause the deaths and suffering of many, many more.

First of all, the people did NOT choose this, the election was rigged, we all know it, and the Dems are just being their traditional spineless selves in not demanding accountability for it.

Secondly, reading comprehension in America is terrible. Not once have I advocated for locking people up for their political views. In fact, I have repeatedly said the opposite. I ONLY want them locked up for their civil CRIMES, which are many.

I never suggested locking up 30% of Americans for being MAGA, or for their politcal loyalties. I suggested designating MAGA the terrorist/ criminal/ hate group that it is, and prohibiting from existence. If your only violation has been voting MAGA in the past, you will be fine, but if you are actively committing crimes, and blaming them on MAGA, then you should be held accountable, as any criminal should be.

MAGA leadership are treasonous criminals, but street level MAGAs are just cowards, embracing bad people because they think they can hide behind their show of strength, and the Dems have traditionally been spineless weenies who dont engender confidence. If the Dems finally committed to being a party of strength, and actually proved it by defending America against this enormous criminal operation disguised as a political philosophy, many of that 30% of MAGAs would switch loyalty instantly. Cowards go where they feel safest, and Democratic fecklesness have driven the cowards into what they see as the safest option.

None of this is about politics, it is about law & order, and a massive, well-financed criminal enterprise is taking over America, the exact same way it happened in Russia, and in Germany.

MAGA is a party of Socio/Psychpaths, who are mostly incapable of understanding the thoughts and feelings of others.

We know that they could have been wildly successful in realigning America along their philosophical lines, just by taking it slowly, but their sociopathic perspectives don't see the advantage in that. They have clearly adopted the Nazi Playbook, which includes the Nazi strategy of Blitzkrieg, so they have embraced it as well. The difference is that Nazis didn't care that the citizens might oppose them, because they were fully prepared from the beginning to ruthlessly eliminate all opposition by any means necessary.

But MAGA is American. Surely Americans wouldn't take it as far as the original Nazis, would they?

Unless thats been the plan all along, and expanding Gitmo to include a facility to incarcerate 30,000 people seems to confirm that.

Elected officials take an oath to defend America agaist all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, and as our nation's largest security threat, HitlerPig clearly fit the description.

Biden should have ordered HitlerPig, and all his henchmen, arrested as a domestic terrorists and national security threats the moment he took office, and America would have cheered. At least the moral, decent, patriotic Americans, would have. The rest would holler, but MAGAs are cowards at heart, and most would quickly crawl back under the rock they were under before MAGA. The rest would be mostly violent White Supremacists, and other associated idiots, and could be easily dealt with like any other terrorists.

The MAGA Traitors should have been held in Gitmo with no access to the media until their many trials were resolved, not running for office, composing Project 2025, and spreading propaganda.

At the same time, any elected officials who amplified The Big Lie, and helped rile up the MAGA Mob to commit the Insurrection should have been investigated, and had their rights to hold elected office removed per the 14th Amendment/ Section 3.

Then MAGA should have been officially designated a Terrorist/ Hate Group, and prohibited. Any Sociopathic Oligarchs who were financing MAGA think tanks and candidates should have had their fortunes confiscated, and detained. You can keep your money if you are doing good works with it, but if you are financing a takeover of the world, you deserve a cell in Gitmo with the rest of the MAGA Terrorists.

All that would have demonstrated to the American people that the Democratic Party has strength, character, patriotism, and moral clarity. Instead, they chose to stick with their traditional role of being the weak, spineless weenie victims of Republican bullies.

No wonder frightened Americans are backing MAGA. They are frightened mice, looking for protection. They know the Dems won't protect them, so they hope that if they follow the MAGA rules, and allow the Nazis to operate freely, they'll be safer.

Biden and the Dems let us down by choosing the cowardly route of Appeasement With Evil, which ALWAYS ends in a much worse disaster.

All those thimgs, and more, are on the agenda.

Your "Trail of Tears 2" reference? Consider this:

America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds about 800-1200 people. The largest prison, in Angola, LA, holds about 8300, more than 7x larger than average.

Now the MAGA Nazis are building a facility in Guantanamo Bay, CUBA, that will house 30,000 people, which is almost 4x larger than Angola, which is already 7x larger than average.

Even the Torture Prison in El Salvador is smaller, at 20,000. The MAGA Nazis want to build the biggest nastiest prison in the Western Hemisphere on a black site in a hostile foreign nation, far from the prying eyes of the media or the courts.

Who do the MAGA Nazis plan on putting in a facility that large? They have already established that anyone who is designated a Terrorist can be detained without Due Process - no lawyer, no judge, no court appearances, no trial. You just get sent to anywhere in the world they feel like sending you.

And now they are saying that anyone who protests Tesla is a Terrorist. In the future, anyone who protests anything will be a terrorist. If you vocally oppose giant corporations, you are a Terrorist. If you support a boycott, you are a Terrorist. Write a critical post on social media, wear a t-shirt, demand your right to vote, defend yourself against MAGA Marauders, etc, and you will be designated a Terrorist. Even just living a life that they think is counter to their concept of an ideal society - gay, Liberal, non-Christian, educated, self-employed, etc. will eventually be given the Terrorist designation. Even just registering as anything but a Republican will get you designated as a Terrorist. Not that it matters, there won't be any elections anyway.

In the future, they won't care about crime, unless it is directed at the wealthy. Their primary law enforcement efforts will be against the 70% of Americans they will designate as Terrorists.

The one thing that might still save us is their virtuosic incompetence. Not just how stupid theyvare, but the fact that they've ejected ANYONE with competence, and replaced them with loyalists, no matter how stupid they are, or how terrible they are at their jobs.

But they're stupider than that. The MAGA Nazis have given the gift of competence to their opposition. Now, all the American leadership with competence, intelligence, is now on the side of their enemy.

In addition, there are still many thousands of people still working in government who hate what is happening to them, their agencies, and their colleagues, and will be ripe and willing targets for espionage, sabotage, information, leaks, etc.

The MAGA Nazi government is surrounded by and filled with enemies and infiltrators, who far outnumber them.

Nah, they just aren't that smart.

You still haven't figured out that America isn't supposed to survive this. Putin is running this op, and MuskRat and Krasnov are his muscle, and the objective is the end of American democracy and hegemony. Waiting for it to play out is not an option, it is literally the safety of the world at stake.

Reps make things happen, while Dems just react, usually weakly. It is time they take the lead and start make the Reps react.

What is happening to America wasnt just predictable, they literally published it in a book, and made it very clear that this was their plan. We know that both Krasnov and MuskRat had multiple private meetings with Putin during Biden's term, and the Biden administration intelligence agencies should have been able to surmise what the coming objective was.

Biden had no obligation to treat an enthusiastic unrepentant traitor, and America's biggest national security threat, who was actively plotting with America's worst enemy, as a normal presidential candidate. We needed Biden, and the rest of the Democratic government, to quit being polite to bad people, and act courageously and decisively to defend America from an obvious domestic enemy, but they totally let us down with their spinelessness. Now it will almost certainly take violence, and very possibly a civil war, to save America from the MAGA Nazis.

He was vacationing alone in NYC, so nobody knew or noticed him. No different than being home asleep.

In nearly every nation in the not so distant past, and still in many nations in the world today, on the evening of Jan 6, after the Insurrection had failed, HitlerPig and all of his evil henchmen and family would have been dragged out onto the White House lawn and publicly executed.

I had posted that statement many times on Reddit, and when I posted it on the day after his Inauguration, my 12 year, million karma account was permantently banned.
