    Does it really work that way though?

    Presidents remain president while enough people recognise their presidency.

    Unfortunately just a few months ago a majority of voters elected him with a mandate to do exactly what he’s doing.

      Don’t slip into the trap of believing their way of spinning the facts!

      No, only like a third of eligible voters chose fascism. And, truthfully, the real numbers are far less. What do you think the “little secret” they were congratulating themselves about was?! Between Trump praising how much Musk know about voting machines, as well as saying that’s why they took Pennsylvania - and then little X, in the fucking oval office, starts talking about his adventures with Dad in places “they weren’t supposed to be”… Oh, not to mention Musk making the odd public comment at the time about how if Trump doesn’t win, he wonders how much time he’ll be locked up for.

      But anyway, sorry for the word vomit! I guess you could call me “triggered” these days 😝

      The point is - if the 2/3 or more of us not radicalized find solidarity, his presidency ends.

        Better late than never, I guess, but the time for action and solidarity was before the election. Trump has never made a secret of his plans, and the world witnessed just how fractured America is with his re-election.

        The first election of Trump, I believe, was a fuck you to the establishment. I would never have rallied behind the piece of shit, but I could at least understand what was happening. His re-election was a fuck you to the rest of the world, including Americans.

        The world is looking at the general apathy of Americans and waiting for them to do something about it. It’s an uphill fight but Americans haven’t even gotten into the ring yet.
