The Washington Post: Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute.

Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute.

Trump and allies plot revenge, Justice Department control in a second termwww.washingtonpost.com Advisers have also discussed deploying the military to quell potential unrest on Inauguration Day. Critics have called the ideas under consideration dangerous and unconstitutional.

He needs to rot in prison.

He needs to rot in hell

Good point well made.

I was hoping to see him start paying here.

As long as he loses all his power I don’t care where he suffers

why not both dot gif

fascism!

And people are okay with this

Yeah, it’s why people vote for him

It seems like it, unfortunately.

Trump is not a politician. He is a dangerous authoritarian.

counterpoint: many American politicians are also dangerous authoritarians

Who exactly?

Every Republican politician is a fascist. Every single one. The ones who weren’t have left the party by now.

Sorry, thats not my level of discussion.

This is not a counterpoint.

Sure it is. The original statement implies that Trump cannot be both politician and dangerous authoritarian. I contend that not only is he both, but so is every other Republican officeholder or office-seeker.

Authoritarians rule and tyran, they ain‘t doing politics (but might disgusie themselves as politicians, in the sense used here). And still it‘s not a logical counterpoint, others being bad actors too is not an excuse or counter to the criticism the original post made – this is what I meant.

Also I think it might not be helpful to draw those who are left in the GOP who still show aspects of real politics further towards full-out authoritarianism (by over-simplifying). Just an additional thought.

Trump came to power the first time by running for office. If he comes to power again, it will be by the same means. Pretending that the United States’s political processes aren’t susceptible to being used to put authoritarians in power does no one any good.

The sad part is that I can see the Biden supporters acting just like Hillary supporters in 2016. Hard to call republicans dumb when Dems repeat the same mistake thrice in 8 years.

The most obvious reveal

Of course he is. That is why even though you might not like Biden you have to vote for him.

Sounds like you better start reporting something more meaningful than "both sides" considering your survival might literally be at stake.

Read this article and then tell people you are not voting for Biden. It won't go well, I assure you.

maybe Biden shouldn't be propping up genocide? Or are Dems still too scared to admit what he's up to?

He's not, hope this helps.

Cool, I'll tell that to the thousands of dead kids

I'm 100% certain you were oddly silent on Syria.

what a weird thing to posit, but I suppose redirection is important for your conscience

The Dems should find a real candidate to challenge him then. The genocide supporter currently in office won't beat Trump a second time. Trump's base is still there and Biden is losing his over Gaza.

Prove Biden is a genocide supporter from a post on Whitehouse.gov

Go do your own homework. He's not calling for a ceasefire and is supporting Israel in the region while they bomb civilians

I support Israel and I support Ukraine…..work that one out!

You have the right to do so

I have done my homework. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

Statements and Releases Archives | Page 11 of 474 | The White Housewww.whitehouse.gov Content from the White House Press Office.

I am insisting that you have not.

Please educate me on what he's doing to stop the bombing of civilians and children by Israel then

Good thing you haven’t spent the past eight years working overtime to normalize him and his fascism, otherwise this article would be really awkward

This right here!

wait, this can't be, the far left keeps telling me Biden and Trump are the same...

Are the Far Left in the room with you right now?

Nah, they keep showing up in every thread to talk about how they won't vote for Biden.

Yeah, that's gotta suck. Offhand if there were that many Far Left people for you to care about so badly, maybe you should pay attention to them.

i do. i think zealots and purists suck, generally

I *am* paying attention to how much they lie and smear in order to benefit Republicans. There aren't that many, they're just incredibly loud.
