    Ah okay… so you’re full of chit as per usual. Let me guess, Maddow is your favorite all-time commentator?

      Why don’t YOU go ahead and write me up a 2-page essay on why Trump isn’t planning a dictatorship, cite your sources. That’s essentially what you’re asking me to do and it’s guaranteed you’ll give a short, flippant remark that doesn’t actually address any of the issues brought up, basically wasting my time. It’ll be a bunch of whataboutism, gaslighting, misdirection, and BS, that’s the standard MO.

        The answer is simple. Because of the U.S. Constitution. It’s not just a piece of paper.

          Congrats on doing exactly what they said you would.

            That’s the only answer needed. No one is becoming a dictator in the U.S.

              So you’re saying your preferred choice of the two wants to become a dictator but you’re fine with it because you think the constitution will stop him?

              If that’s not the case why even cite the constitution.

                Yep. There’s absolutely no way home boy on his last Presidential day is going to claim to have the powers to continue his Presidency indefinitely.

            Election fraud means the election would be voided and it would have to go to contingent election? I forget the process. I have no idea wtf Trump is talking about.

            I’m not a, “MAGA” soldier. Quite frankly he’s just the better option of the two.

              Care you explain why he’s better? Is it his business acumen? His morality? His honesty? His willingness to do what’s best for the American public? His faith in the bureaucracy that allows any large organization to work? His support of the legal framework of the country? His physical fitness? His intelligence? His past record as president? Honestly, I’m curious why you think he’s the best option for this job.

                I think at this point you and I both know why Trump is better than Biden. I don’t even have to state the obvious.

                  Lurking this thread and chiming in, but I don’t know. Is it because of accelerationism? A faster collapse is quite harmful to many

          Constitution only matters if it is being enforced. And 2017-2020 showed us that very few Republicans were willing to do that.

          Currently SCOTUS is debating whether president has absolute immunity (in other words, if he can commit any crime, including murdering his political opponents) something that is absolutely against our constitution, yet they have to debate it.

            Because I’ve never heard nor read someone use, “chit” instead of “shit” and come to find out it’s an actual word (excluding chitchat) with multiple meanings.

            I’m intentionally using, “chit”… being that I’m Latino and if you ever heard a boater Latino say shit, it sounds like chit.

            The more you know!
