The judge overseeing the criminal trial of Donald J. Trump said he would be willing to jail the former president if he continued to violate his gag order. A banker who set up the account used to make a hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels is back on the stand.
Stop saying this idiotic martyr shit.
Why? It’s an extremely valid consideration. Politics is all about appearances… if Trump confirms the violation by paying the fine without question then incarceration will be harder to dismiss.
We’re living in crazy times right now, normal rules don’t really apply and people are just trying to avoid triggering a civil war.
We are talking about a literal fascist dictator.
The person you replied to was certainly rude about it, however the frustration stems from this constant liberal attitude of playing nice, keeping the kid gloves on, letting the SyStEm handle it.
This strategy has never once worked on conservatives throughout all of recorded history.
You refuse to realize these people are playing for their right to kill you, like all this is just some difference of personal opinions.
The 30% that happily watches 30% kill the last 30% never thinks they’ll be in the 30% that stood and waited politely for their turn to die.
If you don’t want to let the system handle it, what actions are you personally taking to bring about the change you want to see?
Because the options are to try to handle this relatively peacefully through the system, or to bypass the system with violent action. The other side has been champing at the bit for decades for an excuse to turn to mass violence, so you might have some catching up to do in terms of organizing support and stockpiling supplies for the coming conflict you seem to want. If that’s the case, probably best to get yourself off Lemmy, don’t want to leave a paper trail, then go out and start hoarding guns and ammo, maybe dig a bunker somewhere.
