With how most every post didn’t last four years last time, I’m assuming we’ll get both.

jientho.bsky.social•87 days ago

Starting to see what us Cassandras meant when we insisted that hair-on-fire should have started far earlier? But no, you pundits are always “well, let’s analyze this” and “what does this really mean now” and “IS it fascism really” etc etc etc.

kaseymac.bsky.social•87 days ago

I’m starting to worry that we aren’t going to make it to the other side of this.

linds11.bsky.social•86 days ago

Known that since Nov 6. This wasn't the battle, it was the whole war

captain-corona.bsky.social•87 days ago

Will the Supreme Court care?

towanda76.bsky.social•87 days ago

And while we deal with all this confusion.... Trump and Buddies will do what they have always done ... grift all the taxpayer money.

jinxjack.bsky.social•87 days ago

So no way out, basically. This is fine 🥹

zadett.bsky.social•87 days ago

I'm just hoping that none of the officials leave their post even after being fired makes sense if the entire government initiated it no one around to throw them out.

tyrannosaurussmith.bsky.social•87 days ago

This is what the people wanted.

welshrarebit.bsky.social•87 days ago

For there to be a crisis, wouldn’t there have to be some resistance from Republicans in Congress to trigger one? Seems more likely that they’ll just roll over and agree to everything.

Trump 2.0's hurricane will make Trump 1.0 look like the calm before the storm.

furrymleo.bsky.social•87 days ago

It's going to be a lot more treacherous than the four years of constitutional and legal crises.
He's never ever going to leave!!!!!

scottym.bsky.social•87 days ago

It will be a long 4 yrs

tampa-turtle.bsky.social•87 days ago

Why only four years? It is over….

Either way Bill we have Mitch McConnell to thank 1st for not having the balls to impeach Trump. Then AG Merrick Garland for not appointing Special Council Jack Smith in Feb. 2021 to start his cases. But who carries the most blame is THE SUPREME COURT for emboldening him & granting Amenity to him..!!

no-obey-advance.bsky.social•87 days ago

The discussion of whether Trump has an electoral "mandate" is so misplaced and outdated. The next 4 years are going to be about Trump and his acolytes using every lever of power they have, whether legal or not. That's the terrain we have to fight on.

meredith-keith.bsky.social•87 days ago

So, how many people are confident that we will have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028?

nornironajay.bsky.social•87 days ago

And many people will not forget your role in the macabre ball that got us here.

To be clear, we're talking the longterm process of carrying water for neocons and liberals in general.

tobyveach.bsky.social•87 days ago

We’re way past the crisis stage.

tahitiguy.bsky.social•87 days ago

Why are we not in the streets? We need to be in the streets, millions of us. National strikes. Whatever. Look at other countries - we Americans look like we're just sitting around while the fascists take over.

tobyveach.bsky.social•87 days ago

He was “elected”. All the shit they pulled worked. They cheated fair and square and now it’s over. Marching in the streets will do nothing to change anything. No one is going to save us. Nov 6 was our last chance. (This is the acceptance phase, you’re still in bargaining).

tahitiguy.bsky.social•87 days ago

I will not accept.

tobyveach.bsky.social•86 days ago

Not accepting what has happened is bad for your mental health. All you can do is try to deal with what’s to come.

densox.bsky.social•87 days ago

Actually, we’ll have at least four years of fascism. Our educational systems failed us and the lack of knowledge of history will stain America’s reputation innumerable years.

dfkpgh.bsky.social•87 days ago

Putin must be thrilled.

captain-corona.bsky.social•87 days ago

Autocrats in their graves are even thrilled.

mellycumberbatch.bsky.social•87 days ago

The only way out is through

jrpc.bsky.social•87 days ago

Is there any way to impeach Trump before he takes office?

davidjcox.bsky.social•87 days ago

Why only four years? What makes you think they won’t get re-elected?

linds11.bsky.social•86 days ago

Or just not leave office

realwuzzy.bsky.social•87 days ago

Won't SCOTUS go along with whatever he does? They've already given him broad immunity. Even if they don't go along, he'll ignore them. What's the enforcement mechanism?

hecate66.bsky.social•87 days ago

People will die. No one wants to say that.

linds11.bsky.social•86 days ago

Yup. People died last time - MORE people will die. It will be much worse. Trump admin 1 was practice.
