  • … We the people… Remember that one? The only things that give Trump power are a piece of paper and US citizens. That piece of paper doesn’t do much once people turn against him. I don’t like Trump, but I also have a non-zero amount of faith in our government’s structure. Next four years will probably be a downhill slide, but then there will be a rebound candidate elected in 4 years. If people in Congress vote in favor of all these ridiculously extreme amendments like you are saying they will, normal Americans will kick them out of office. Now the filibuster seems like a pretty good thing, huh?



  • So removing the filibuster 1. Can’t happen while the filibuster is in place (because the left could just filibuster) and 2. Was a major pushing point for the left not more than 2 years ago. You either have no real knowledge of how the government works or think every American other than you has literal brain damage if you think that our system allows for such a radical change in 2 years. This “democracy is over” rhetoric has been said almost every 4 years like clockwork. If you think that the country is in a worse place now than it was in the Great Depression and WW2 you are delusional. I dislike Trump and voted for Kamala, because I can’t stand stupid. Trump isn’t Hitler. He’s his own type of shit, but nowhere near as bad. It is fair to say that you think the country will be worse off with Trump as lead. But you have exaggerated it so much you look like a bigger clown than he is.
