what do you mean by that lol
I mean we've already had two nutcases going after this nitwit just for running again. If he "wins" against a majority and against the EC through some amazing and unconstitutional horseshit in Congress and the courts, we are probably going to see a coup.
he won in 2016 with an electoral majority but lost the popular vote, and since democrats refuse to do anything but eventually become republicans, they haven't made a way to prevent this. Trump could easily do it again this year.
american democracy is actually extremely shit, who knew
Read the original comment again. Americans will tolerate an EC win without a majority. But Congress refusing to certify, the supreme court backing them, and the presidency being decided by the legislature instead of the votes? Has it ever happened?
Again, we've seen two whackadoos go after him just for running. If he "wins" this way?
2000 ended up being decided by the Florida state government and federal supreme court so it's kinda happened. I think the deciding factor is if the democrats are willing to go along or not, and considering how much they keep banging on about needing a "strong republican party" and "national unity", there is no reason to think they would actually put up a fight in a 2000-style (or similar) situation.
Here's hoping more assassins come out of the woodwork though!
what do you mean by 'whackadoos' because he seems to be doing fine 4 years after the end of his term. its awfully pathetic of your 'justice' to take this long to imprison a cut and dry criminal.
And america does not have the political will for a popular revolution, where were the riots all across the country when roe v wade was destroyed? Where are the mass movements against trump threatening to overthrow him if he wins even legitimately?
Nothing, scraps. Americans will get angry, then shrug their shoulders and roll over like the dogs of empire they are.
i assume they mean the two assassination attempts (so far)
