    oh yea, it’ll be all “we need to come together” and “we’re going to help everybody” for the next 2 months

    then, the instant he steps into office, freedom of speech: gone. freedom of the press: gone. EPA: gone. dept. of education: gone. SEC: gone. consumer protections, civil rights, equality, accountability, justice-- all. fucking. gone.

    expect mass imprisonments, assassinations, and other removals

    “that can’t happen in this country!!” you might be saying. why not? because of “checks and balances”? LOL

    you have about 2 months to prepare your asshole

      People were like ‘the president wouldn’t assassinate his own people or work with enemy foreign nations to do so!’ but then they turned a blind eye to Trump’s security ‘lapses’ and the distinctly sharp rise in the deaths of our undercover operatives around the globe.

      He will sell out America, spill its blood for his own gain, and he already has.

        and we’re leaving out implications at the local level. why would a trumper sheriff bother going after someone for murdering marginalized peoples? why would any lawyer take up any case against a trump appointed judge (spoiler alert: it’ll be all of them, soon)?

          Abbott already pardoned some shitbag for murder because he was a conservative who murdered a liberal.

      Also, remember that this follows HOT on the heels of SCOTUS saying “basically anything a President does is legal”. This theoretically means Trump and his admin could sidestep Congress entirely, on anything. Trump was already ruling by EO last term, but I suspect we haven’t seen anything yet.

      There’s actually so much at stake that I lost track of it all. Absolutely mind blowing that a single American could vote for him let alone the majority. I do not understand why Americans hate America.
