      Not just Trump, the Supreme Court, the republican party and the 1% all want a totalitarian state…

      Its no surprise a totalitarian is turning this country into totalitarianism.

      >’something much closer to a totalitarian state‘

      So close in fact, that it would be a totalitarian state.

      Thank you Chris Murphy for beating the drum.

      „FROM the nature of despotic power it follows, that the single person, invested with this power, commits the execution of it also to a single person. A man, whom his senses continually inform that he himself is every thing, and his subjects nothing, is naturally lazy, voluptuous, and ignorant. In consequence of this, he neglects the management of public affairs. But, were he to commit the administration to many, there would be continual disputes among them; each would form intrigues to be his first slave, and he would be obliged to take the reins into his own hands. It is, therefore, more natural for him to resign it to a vizir, and to invest him with the same power as himself. The creation of a vizir is a fundamental law of this government.“

      Progressives have been trying to sound the alarm for YEARS, way to catch up.

      So far all he’s managed to do is transition us into one of his businesses! Badly managed, Criminal, and destined for bankruptcy.

      Yes, we know. Please stop writing these stupid pieces and tell people what to do to stop it.

      No need to pull that punch. We are living under a lawless, unconstitutional emergency obsessed administration that has usurped all power. The only thing left is resistance.

      The Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society want to transition the US away from the Constitution, and back into the Articles of Confederacy, they thought Trump would be their useful idiot. And like everyone who bets on Trump, they’re losing their shirts.

      We keep hearing this. What we dont hear are details on Project 2029… are there any dems with a national strategy? Republicans put together project 2025 when they had no power.

      Oh sure, when they transition it’s okay, but *when I* transition suddenly I’m “evil” and “deranged”

      Trying to? He’s succeeding, and nobody seems interested in stopping him. The most resistance I’ve seen to the ballroom is a light scolding from the View ladies.

      Why are all the news headlines like “Trump doing something dangerous for America, be warned!”

      Like, we fucking know. We’ve been knowin. Do something about it

      The first presidential election I was eligible to vote was 2020. I have been watching the GOP act like this since and when I would say it people accused me of being hysterical, especially boomers.

      Ohh so that can transition with noone telling them no, but I have to have several letters just to even get a prescription, and that’s not even talking about insurance

      So lets talk Originalism…

      „First: They are to govern by promulgated established laws, not to be varied in particular cases, but to have one rule for rich and poor, for the favourite at Court, and the countryman at plough.

      Secondly: These laws also ought to be designed for no other end ultimately but the good of the people.

      Thirdly: They must not raise taxes on the property of the people without the consent of the people given by themselves or their deputies. And this properly concerns only such governments where the legislative is always in being, or at least where the people have not reserved any part of the legislative to deputies, to be from time to time chosen by themselves.

      Fourthly: Legislative neither must nor can transfer the power of making laws to anybody else, or place it anywhere but where the people have.“

      – John Locke – Two Treaties of Government

      Trump and SCOTUS lie to you.

      Why don’t they just come out and say it, along with the corps/billionaires? Answer: the donors

      We’re already there. The US is done. Even when Trump dies the Christian conservatives won’t. They have armed a bunch of brownshirts with zero actually vetted. Already multiple reports many of them have violent crime records.

      Ya we know. Thanks so much for saying words about the thing that’s happening. True bravery. You’re an incredible person.

    34. mobileagnes on

      Imagine going to sleep in 2014 (the year before Trump announced he was running) and waking up to that headline now, only 11 years later. Isn’t this wild?

    39. ParticularUmpire4055 on

      The transition is already underway. They just haven’t been completely forthright upfront and honest about it. I mean, shit, Russia still holds „elections“.

      Why do people follow this grumpy obese ugly ass looking clown?? I can’t wait for the leopards to eat their face.

    42. -BluBone- on

      I’m sure Republicans will all say it’s ridiculous to think that, then one day it will just kinda happen.

    45. PWL51 on

      Trying? This fascist administration run by Stephen Miller is well on it’s way to making America a totalitarian state.
