“He’s told us what he will do. It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take. People who say, ‘Well, if he’s elected, it’s not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances,’ don’t fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted. One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States. If you look at what Donald Trump is trying to do, he can’t do it by himself. He has to have collaborators. And the story of Mike Johnson is a story of, of a collaborator and of someone who knew then – and knows now – that what he’s doing and saying is wrong, but he’s willing to do it in an effort to please Donald Trump. And that’s what makes it dangerous.” – Former Rep. Liz Cheney, speaking to CBS News.

    Yes. If he wins, the Trumps will rule the USA for a long long time, and you guys can kiss your beloved constitution goodbye.

      IDK, he’s like 80yo, he can’t really have that much time left. I think it’s more likely that, assuming he gets elected, he has a heart attack before he finishes his term and the VP (whoever that is) takes over.

      First of all no that isn’t what will happen except in your weird tom clancy fever dreams. Second, the US should be on it’s 10th or so constitutional rework anyway.

        He already tried to take it by force. We literally have it on video.
        He’s already released statements about doing this.

        You obviously haven’t been paying attention. Or are arguing in bad faith.

        Your 10th rework comment is simply laughable. Pray tell when we’re we ever going to get 2/3 of Congress to agree???
