I’m old as fuck…

This isn’t the first time a republican has become president and everyone thinks they’ll never get to vote again.

Also old as fuck. Outside of conspiracy theorists and rabble rousers, yes it is.

I can remember thinking 9/11 meant GW would cancel elections.

The only serious talk there was of this was the possibility of this happening if we were to have ultimately gone to war directly over 9/11. Like if things broke out and we were in a WW2 or Vietnam-level conflict with Saudi Arabia or something. Then there was talk about Bush possibly suspending elections until after the war was over. But again, mostly conspiracy-theory level stuff and not like it was going to be some authoritarian power grab.

After 9/11, far more people were pissed off over the PATRIOT act than there were people who seriously thought it would bring about the end of elections.

If trump actually cancels elections, then it’s civil war. I’m not saying that I’ll start it, but there’s no way just flat out canceling elections is something all the states go along with.

This would depend on where the loyalties of the people in the military lie.

So hopefully next time there’s a general election, at least one of the candidates will be willing to do what it takes to fight fascism.

There were two of them. And Democrat voters said that one was too old and the other was a black woman, so they had no choice but to let the facist take back power. I mean, what were they going to do? Elect a black woman?

Biden was a waste of four years. Were worse off right now then when he took office according to you if this was the last election.

Except he wasn’t, and we’re not. You know where all that inflation came from? Trump pumping trillions and trillions into the economy with big fat tax cuts for the rich and sending everybody $600 checks every month for a year and a half. I’m not even saying that the $600 checks were even bad per se given the situation we were in, but you cannot just pump that much money into the economy all at once without a huge shock to the system. Otherwise known as inflation. Biden spent 4 years getting inflation caused by Trump policies down and still got shit on for it. Solutions take time. The problem was never going to fix itself in a day. Biden got inflation down to normal, and Harris had several plans to address price gouging and other forms of greedflation. But she’s black so Democrats decided to say those plans just weren’t good enough so they were just going to put the economy into the hands of a man who’s entire economic plan is “They’re eating the dogs!”
