Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.
“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.
how long does it take you to get to your country’s capitol city? I can find an exact number for the US but I estimate less than 25% of Americans live within a one day drive to our capitol. meaning it is a significant investment for most of the country, one that the median household can’t afford.
And DC is designed to quell demonstrations, protests, and absolutely riots. It’s one of the few planned cities in America, and they’ve thought every avenue through in terms of barriers and crowd control. The National Guard has plans upon plans.
The most serious threat to power in this country would be the types of activities that GOT us this country, and they’ve long known that.
I don’t want to discourage anyone but they’d have little problem turning machine guns on us all, and what would happen? The rest of America would see it on the news and social media, and go “oh God,” and then cook dinner and go to work the next day, in shock no doubt, but… well we have had national shocks before and life kept going.
I don’t see a way through unless the military itself were to reject the authority at the top and turn on them.
Yeah, American citizens storming and taking control of government buildings is impossible!
Oh wait, no it fucking isn’t, and we absolutely know this because MAGA fucking did it. The number of people who are ANTI Trump, if the polls are to be believed, are TWICE AS MANY as pro Trump. So why do you people keep claiming that doing nothing is the only fucking option? Are you a psy op? Are you secretly pro Trump and trying to crush dissent? What is your game here exactly? Because I simply refuse to believe that someone can be this obtuse.
Huh it’s almost like the President and therefore the military he’s in charge of were supporting that instead of trying to shut it down.
Not everyone who has a different opinion is trying to run a psychological endgame, or is obtuse.
Any excuse to absolve yourselves from inaction.
