'Screaming the Quiet Part': Trump Advisers Say He's Ready to Embrace King-Like Powers | Common Dreams
The U.S. Supreme Court's immunity decision has reportedly emboldened the presumptive GOP nominee to pursue his far-right agenda and authoritarian aims "without fear of punishment or restraint."

You're viewing a single thread.
Keep this in mind when you see the bots urging you not to vote against him here on lemmy. Maybe call them out for trying to destroy democracy.
And vote like lives depend on it.
Voting is the beginning of acting to defend yourself from tyranny, not the end.
Absolutely, especially those idiotic accounts like respectology and givesomefucks that try and play the “I’m not voting for Biden” but Trump is also a terrible choice angle. Both Side noise for sure (or they truly are that naive and foolish).
I think Givesomefucks might be somewhat legit. But the other one… yeah. I can’t agree more.
I'm pretty new to Lemmy and was really hoping this wouldn't be the same level of problem as it is everywhere else. Oh what a sweet summer child I am, apparently.
Yeah, they’re pretty bad here.
This logic isn't sustainable.
30 years from now you'll still be arguing against leftists for not voting for 99% hitler as opposed to 100% hitler.
I swear, liberals will still be screeching about "if you don't vote for the candidate who wants 3 genocides as opposed to the one who wants 5, you are a Russian bot!"
Lesser evilism is what got us here. The American experiment has run its course and we have a duty to dismantle it.
You can't say lesser evilism got us here when we chose the greater evil in the election before last. If we kept voting lesser evil maybe, but we don't consistently. Not nearly enough to make the greater evil not think they stand a chance without lessening themselves.
How do you think it’ll go down when Trump is elected? Hmmm? Think held going to go easy on them? Or you?
This is a bullshit argument. You want strong progressive change? Run in down races to prove the platform works first. Gain momentum instead of going for the gold ring on your first try.
"Not getting gold ring on the first try" -> "uninhibited genocide"
New genocide euphamism just dropped.
OK... Still a dumb position.
