Heads up if Trump runs again (and I think he will)

because he will use his run for office to try and stay out of jail ..

And be prepared for when he loses.. and lose he will.. that he will start a insurrection that could bring down the country..

have much of an insurrection. He won't be in control of the government this time around and we'll be ready for him. He won't be able to pardon his cohorts in Congress this time either. The domestic terrorist groups like the Proud Boys and the 3 Percenters' have exposed themselves and I would hope that the FBI is watching them a little closer now. It would also be great if we put a few of the "big guys" in jail for what they did to this country.

.. it will signal the end of American democracy as we have known it. It will signal the official beginning of fascism in America. Will anyone notice the difference? The price of gas will be lower and the trains will run on time.

I wonder if millions will notice or even care as long as grocery stores are full and Netflix is running and American Idol has yet another season. The problem is that in fascist countries the grocery stores eventually empty and won’t be refilled and by the time that happens, it’ll be too late.

...and the violence from the state will become much more pronounced. And your AK-47 and AR-15 will be of little assistance to you. It will happen.

Unlike Mussolini, these U.S. fascists hate public transportation and actively work to destroy it.

I think the outcome of Hearings will end trumps treasonous career.

I don’t know about prison. But he won’t run for president. He may also act like he’s running. But it will just be to collect money.

Otherwise, peace sistah!!!!

would be trump running as an independent, or forming his own party. As much as we'd all love for him to just go away, I believe he would split the republican vote enough to guarantee a victory for us. I also believe that this threat, rather than revelation of personal dirt on various GOP scumbags, is what he's been holding over their heads for years.

question is whether there might be a third party candidate on the right who would split the vote and make his loss so overwhelming even he would have to accept it.
