    2026 with the economy in free fall and the Republicans about to be voted out of office, he will make his move to fully seize control and declare martial law to stop elections.

    The moves they are talking about will absolutely destroy the economy and plunge us into the abyss.

      I guess the positive is that if the economy is that fucked they might not have the money to resist the guillotine crazed hordes. Personally I think an ill measured rope would be the best method

        I understand the sentiment, but believe me: with a crumble of that scale, you will definitely start caring.
