Idiots can end up setting up a dictatorship successfully too.

jonnyfallon.bsky.social•36 days ago

They can but they fail too. And trying to do that does not come without opposition too

What would need to happen for you to admit that America has made a seriously dreadful mistake?

jonnyfallon.bsky.social•24 days ago

Of course they have. It’s not their first nor the first dreadful mistake in history.

It's the first time they're heading towards dictatorship though.

There are midterms in 2 years and another election in four years and to say anything else at this point just plays into trumps hands

scarpetta.bsky.social•23 days ago

What difference will the midterms make? And how will they counter or reverse the damage done by then?

jonnyfallon.bsky.social•23 days ago

It’s not a dictatorship if people are freely voting and choosing who represents them and who next president will be

jonnyfallon.bsky.social•23 days ago

See that’s the bit I think is the issue. Trump is a disaster policy wise and hurts huge sections of society. Saying it’s a dictatorship just makes his supporters think ‘well that’s clearly not true’ so they double down. We have to stop the hyperbole
