You only need one day to be a dictator. After that, you are automatically a dictator.
This is probably what he is projecting, when he is talking about ‘the last election we ever have’.
There’s no probably about it. People like him don’t give up power once they have it.
He also needs to stay in the White House to stay out of the big house (prison). The grifting he can do while he sells the US for parts is just a bonus for him.
He’s never going to prison. If it actually ever comes to that, he’ll flee the country to Russia or Saudi Arabia.
I want him to live to be 150. Muttering to himself in a crappy nursing home, his grandkids never come visit, rotting in obscurity.
Let’s say he was dictator for one day only, just as a fun thought experiment.
That is also awful
Imagine someone walking into your house and saying, “I’m only going to ignore the law for 15 minutes while I’m here tonight.” Sorry, what the absolute fuck. Even if they kept their word that’s a monstrous thing to say, what the fuck are you going to do for those 15 minutes?!
That’s when you kick that fucker out of your house. So America, let’s kick that fucker out of this house.
Trump: Sometimes You Have to Flush Twice
he literally tried it once already, we don’t really need to speculate if he’d go for it
1776-2016 the US fought against that crap and then we just decided it was all ok because of meme culture or some nonsense.
I mean, we at least said we were against it. Slavery, the trail of tears, the Chinese exclusion act, and internment camps, as well as meddling in other countries’ elections, drone strikes, and border camps aren’t exactly pro-democracy, let alone gerrymandering and voter suppression that have been prevalent in poor and minority communities since they were first allowed to vote. I wish we’d been democratic from the start, but I think MAGAers are just continuing an American pastime.

That’s long enough to declare himself dictator for life and democrats illegal.
Everybody voting for him is consciously a traitor, which is the part that really sucks because even if captain cheese whiz loses, 25% of americans are still the same backstabbing pieces of shit.
Sean, I only want to be a dictator for one day, and I’m going to close the borders and drill, baby drill. But after that, I never want to be a dictator.
The thing with Trump is there’s a chance he actually believes a) this is a reasonable take, and b) he’d be able to accomplish these goals in one day.
I really don’t get how that doesn’t immediately disqualify him for any public office.
Even at least in the court of public opinion…
Because republicans are traitors to this country. They wish to overthrow democracy and install a Christian dictatorship that enforces their will on everyone.
His base doesn’t actually care what he says. Somehow, he convinced them he’s a damn genius when he can’t string a sentence together.
Mixed in-between the word vomit, he validates their hate. Unfortunately their lives are so miserable and empty, being told it’s okay to hate, is more important to them than anything else.

I do wonder, though, what they’d do when
crops are left rotting in fields and houses and buildings aren’t rebuilt after disasters because all undocumented immigrants have been reported;
after LGBT+ folks hide themselves and “fit in” for safety like it’s the 1950s;
when there are masses of unemployed young people born after abortion and contraception are outlawed living in a nation unequipped to handle them;
after the education and environmental protection systems cease to exist and the country falls behind in every metric of a developed nation from an absence of knowledge pools and poison in everything.
What will they do after creating an environment that fosters stability, innovation, and a thriving society like we saw in the mid-2010’s Middle East. It sure sounds like a great and prosperous future, doesn’t it. Right?..
It’s pretty hilarious that Republicans want to get rid of undocumented immigrants when our food and shelter are literally dependent on them. Apparently food and shelter are not that important.
In order:
Use prisoners to do the labor
Crackdowns, secret police, and full on lavender scare shit
Drive them to crime then imprison them to use for labor
Why would they care? They’re planning to be in charge
Fascists do nothing but destroy their homes and neighbors. They will make everyone miserable and their plans will suck, but so long as they can stay angry, indignant, and targeting someone they don’t care that they just got their country turned to rubble.
Historically, dictators go hand in hand with peaceful transfers of power after their term is done!
“My first wish is for a million wishes.”
I want to be a dictator for one day.
I want to be a dictator tomorrow too.
I also want to be a dictator the day after tomorrow.
I supposed these statements may be true every day.
He only really wants to be a dictator for a single nanosecond. But that desire renews itself each nanosecond.
If you give a mouse a cookie…
This is the reality with dementia. When a brain loses the ability to encode new memories, every day is the same day.
Trump wants to have a Purge so badly.
But he doesn’t want to participate, and I think he wouldn’t even really watch it from a bunker. Would probably find the violence grotesque and boring.
However, imagine the TV ratings of such an event that he made happen! That’s what really gets this guy hard.
Not a Purge, a Kristallnacht. But with a wider range of victims than the original. The difference is, in a Kristallnacht, the police aren’t just standing down, or even rampaging as individuals, they’re specifically instructed to attack the chosen victim groups.
Yeah “I only want to be a dictator until everyone who ever called me or will call me a dictator is killed and then I’m just president and commander in chief and supreme justice and speaker of the house and chairman, and general secretary and…”
“And for my first official act as dictator, I hereby abolish night.”
Inb4 “sundowning” is caused by liberal space lasers.
lmao you still believe in the sun
That’s about all he’ll get before JD puts a rollerskate at the top of the stairs.
Conservatism is a plague of oppression. It always has been. This plague is long overdue for a cure.
Voting is a good start, but real action will be needed to rid ourselves of this infestation.
I guess you could say the GOP is a threat to our democracy. I think it is time for us to remove the electoral college and grant DC statehood. A Republican will never hold the White House again until they appeal to the majority of Americans.
He only wants to be a dictator for a day, because after that his fascist government will refer to him as “Dear Leader” and all dissent will be met with force.
He only wants to be a dictator for a day because he’s incapable of thinking more than one day at a time.
After he loses, in the yugest way possible, let’s give him a participation ‘trophy’ in the form of a lengthy ‘shady vacation’ in a nice secure place away from responsibilities.
That is some serious optimism.
When polls show the Democrats way ahead we still lose. Polls are practically tied and we’re even losing ground in important places because of our literal obsession with giving Bloodthirsty Bibi whatever the fuck he wants unconditionally…
That’s not even to mention the ratfucking planned to occur in some swing states to make the vote counting stop until SCOTUS pulls another Bush v Gore… The smaller red counties are done earlier since they are smaller they get done first, Trump shows a lead, then they “find irregularities” with the larger majority Democrat districts and drag that out by hand counting until the SCOTUS says “pencils down, the election is over you need to stop now!”
I’m generally a pessimistic person but I feel like this is almost a guaranteed Trump win… Still vote of course, just be ready to either storm the supreme court or get used to the idea that we’re going to learn what it’s like to be in a dictatorship.
yugest
Wow, yuge seems like so long ago
