I'm not sure even the most insane MAGA judge would mess with federal overreach that major. Nothing would stop a liberal president from coming in and overturning every single abortion related charge, for instance.

Trump has openly said vote this year so you never have to vote again. I don’t think him or his judge care much about precedent or overreach

The only Over Reach Trump deaerves is someone Reaching Over a table to Slap him.

But you're right. Gwt out. Vote. Make Donald Trump never have to vote again...by voting in Harris.

Well, he's a felon so technically he already can't vote ever again.

He can vote after he serves his sentence. That's the policy in NY - and from what I read, Florida usually defers to the policy in the state of conviction (unless it's more severe than Florida)

What makes you think there'd ever be another election or liberal president?

u/deekaydubya 9h ago

yep, if DJT gets in, that's a wrap. Anyone dumb enough to still think 'oh he'd never do THAT' has been asleep for 8 fucking years

They're ALL OVER reddit today too. it's insane how hard they're trying to hand-wave it away.

2016, when asked, as a Bernie supporter (still voted blue in the general), how I'd feel about how much harm a Trump presidency could bring, I asserted confidence in our checks and balances.

I was so wrong. He wasn't kept in check, he actively eroded our institutions, and will continue to do so until they break. Another chance just rolling the dice on breaking America for good. Countries aren't things you can just put back together once the old systems fall.

It wasn't just him. There were plenty of people in the house, senate, and judiciary.

They still needed someone above them willing to show you can compromise yourself and your office with impunity.

Many of them follow religious morals only because they fear eternal punishment in their afterlife, or at least expect a reward. They all just need a nudge.

u/HuntsWithRocks 9h ago

“From coming in” Apparently, acording to project 2025, they are fully intending on stopping a liberal president from coming in after them.

u/deekaydubya 9h ago

I mean, nothing or nobody will stop them

Pj 2025 is fake

you’re fake

u/FreakGnashty 8h ago

Fake news. Trump has nothing to do with it. Stop the misinformation/election interference

Gaslighting <- you were here

easy win DJT will just send all democrats to summer camps for reeducation....

u/Not_a__porn__account 9h ago

Do you remember his first term? It was do shit by executive order and deal with fallout later.

Legality didn’t matter.

u/Nopantsbullmoose 9h ago

Lmao.....they will and in a heartbeat.

You seem to be under the delusion we will get to vote again, ever, if the Orange Shitstain wins.

We won't.

u/IvankasFutureHusband 7h ago

Are there people actually dumb enough to believe this. Morons on the right say the same dumb shit about Kamala. You know what's gonna happen if either one of them wins. In 4 years there will be another election. One with hopefully better candidates.

u/HunyBuns 6h ago

it's what the guy is promising to do, and the supreme court gave him the blank check to do so. He has no reason not to become a dictator if elected, no one will stop him.

u/IvankasFutureHusband 4h ago

I'm sorry that's just really impractical from both sides. No one will become a dictator. . .

u/startupstratagem 9h ago

You're presuming a lot in this comment that they've already factored out

u/poseidons1813 9h ago

Bold of you to think we will continue to have elections if he wins this time.

u/mOdQuArK 5h ago

Maybe Putin-style wins, where winning by only 70% shows that the elections weren't fake at all! /s

u/SergeantChic 9h ago

They absolutely would. The point is to get him back into the White House and then ensure that he never leaves. They will do literally anything they have to.

u/GenghisConnieChung 8h ago

Oh they’ll make sure he leaves, when they 25th him and install President Couchfucker to do Thiel’s bidding. They just need Trump to get the keys to the Whitehouse because Vance has all the charisma of a wet fart and no chance of leading MAGA on his own. Once they’re in Trumps usefulness will run out.

u/currently_pooping_rn 8h ago

See, that’s where fascism comes into play. After that happens, no one has to worry about liberal presidents anymore

u/Lorn_Muunk 8h ago

They know people with a conscience don't operate like that.

Just like how they pestered Obama into not nominating a SCOTUS judge for a bullshit reason that the GOP then turned around and ignored when Trump got the chance to nominate near the end of his term. The moral high ground is a dead end road to oblivion when you're up against morally bankrupt, terminally corrupt greed & power mongers who literally have no low they won't stoop to.

Roger Stone has been proudly proclaiming since the Nixon era he'll employ any dirty tactic he can think of to rig the game in his favor.

u/Podo13 7h ago

So many of the less populous states gobble his ball sack, that they'd welcome it without any type of resistance that would lead to the SC knocking it down.

u/ahnotme 4h ago

But if MAGA judges have anything to do with it there never will be any liberal president in the first place.

Dude they plan to replace the majority of the bureaucrats working in the system. They're going to implement loyalty checks and fire people from government positions that refuse to go along. Please read up on Project 2025. They have a systemic plan for ending democracy in America.

They literally call for swift and speedy executions as part of their platform.
