Really, the thing people need to realize is that calling them morons is not understating the damage they can do. I know idiots. Idiots with power can do a HELL of a lot of damage, precisely because they are idiots. A smart person will consider consequences. A dumb ass will see a shiny button that says, "Do Not Press ; Self Destruct", get told by the people they hate, "Don't touch that we'll ALL die", and go, "Fuck you Imma touch it!"
Yeah pretty much. Trump probably means it, but he's like a toddler, he'll get bored. Those amplifying his message or feeding him ideas are definitely trying to distract
It's freeing for me in that, "No matter what, we're at the guaranteed fuck stage. My brain is now freeing up the energy that goes to unproductive worry, and it can now be spared for productive minimization of damage", which I thought was clear with me saying "Still gonna be for eco measures and such"
And they'll use prison camps to fill labour voids, work people to death, and make even more restrictive laws to fill the shortages, continue until something gives and it collapses because they either can't any more or the blue states start to riot in an attempt to break free of the US, either case resulting in GoP blaming "The enemy we are at war with" for the shortages and degrading conditions
"Our secretary reminded us that fascists usually take control of companies to further fatten their wallets, and we suddenly realized we are also vulnerable to nazi boots on our necks"
No, the GoP will execute their planned coup. Trump at this point is a puppet with dementia. A vile, evil puppet, but definitely too far gone to be the mastermind
Plus it needs to be a massive number to overcome the, "This was clearly altered we are not certifying send it to the supreme court"
Less because that would stop a refusal to certify, and more because it might be able to kick the Republican SC members into choosing to not hand it to the GoP in fear of retalitation
Main concern is the "Refuse to certify -> Goes to SC -> SC hands the win to the GoP" type fuckery that could happen. No idea what their plans are for that. Outside of that, I assume there will be a lot of military on standby but not obviously so
