I want everyone to think about what Trump will do with explicit absolute immunity from prosecution and the full power of the presidency of the United States of America
those are the stakes in November, full stop
look i'll be clear, I will be voting, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same, against donald trump and the end of democracy in this country in november. I do not care if that means i'm voting for a man who is literally dead.
the decision lays out - explicitly in the case of the DOJ and implicitly in case of the military - that a president can order the prosecution of or a military strike on anyone he doesn’t like and fire anyone who doesn’t comply until he finds someone who will
he may not be prosecuted for this
“democrats have to win every election forever” is not a sustainable solution and it is quite literally the one we are facing unless we break the power of this court
The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever.
Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.
The part I disagree with is that today's our only chance. Fixing the courts is likely going to require a new crop of reps even if it should be expanded today, yesterday really and the day before that and the day befo
But like - we have a corrupted court, academic establishment, top to bottom media, religious community, etc. not to mention business. The fuckers got their ducks in a row
But they are the minority. And is THIS close to all falling apart for them. And I think they know it, which is why they are all-in on TFG. Win in Nov. is Step 1. Then start worry about Step 2
I do not know what will happen. I do know that almost every election post Dobbs has seen huge swings to Ds. Districts that were like R+20 were suddenly seeing R+5 margins. Trump is turnout magic for Rs but he has also already lost the popular vote TWICE. Don’t panic. Start working.
The only problem with that is that Biden wasn't in any of those elections, and all polls show him running SERIOUSLY behind Senate and House Dems in most states.
And none of the feasible replacements runs any better.
And Project 2025 is designed to run SOLELY on presidential power- no Congress.
