    No, I was stating a fact… Trump taking a certain action would be a violation of the words as they are written in the constitution. That’s not denying reality. It’s calling it out. You called even discussing it “naive and willfully ignorant” because we should just expect it now.

    I say this “pre-acceptance” of our leaders not following the law, enables them to not follow the law. If they do something like this and we don’t react, they think they can get away with it again. If they feared the population would react with massive protests, they wouldn’t do it. Trump becoming a dictator is dependent on people with attitudes like yours doing nothing.

      I’m not pre-accepting. If anything, I’m absolutely irate that fucking nobody with any semblance of official power has done anything seriously meaningful to stymie the regime’s abject idiocy - and I include the jaw-dropping myopic political shitshow that the DNC ran in the 2024 election, as well as Biden’s outright refusal to hold anyone from orangeboi’s first stint accountable in any serious or meaningful way.

      Incompetence is the rule of the day, on both sides of our established political spectrum. The only serious difference is that the right wing is gleefully malicious and overtly prejudiced, while the left wing plaintively complains and capitulates while still lining their pockets from largely the same donors that the right wing gets paid by.
