The former president made multiple chilling warnings during an interview with Time magazine.
Donald Trump hasn’t quite let go of the possibility of utilizing mob violence if he loses the next election.
In a sprawling interview for Time magazine, Trump hinted that leveraging political violence to achieve his end goals was still on the table.
“If we don’t win, you know, it depends,” he told Time. “It always depends on the fairness of the election.”
And from Trump’s perspective, that’s winning rhetoric. According to him, his incendiary comments supporting a mob mentality, his early warnings of forthcoming abuses of power, and his threats to be a dictator on “day one” are only inching him closer to the White House. “I think a lot of people like it,” Trump told Time.
You mean purported leftist voters are going to elect Trump and end democracy bc they’re angry about Gaza?
Unfortunately it seems like that is an active sentiment, at least with a vocal minority. Intentional disengagement because they don’t like the choices they have. They would rather Trump contribute to the death of Palestinians, Ukrainians, and Americans rather than vote for the guy who contributed to the death of Palestinians.
To top it off, it’s coming largely from a trans inclusive instance, heightening the chances of putting a right wing nutjob in power right as there is an ongoing anti-trans culture war. It’s like they’re more brainwashed than the Log Cabin Republicans.

I think leftist voters are getting purged from rolls across the country and won’t have a say in the matter either way.
But voter caging, disenfranchisement, and other ratfvckery will amount to a Trump win in the same way it amounted to a Bush win in 2000 and a Nixon win in 1968.
These protests will become the excuse Democrats use to further justify purging leftist voters from their ranks, in the same way they used it to purge Greens in 2000 and Socialists in 1968. And it will result in more loses as the country marches further and further into the grip of fascist state policy.
