We all knew shit was gonna hit the fan when Trump won his second term, but this, I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Nope, I saw much worse coming. Barbarity of the sentence aside, he's still convicted and sentenced to die.

I honestly thought by this point we'd be executing political dissidents on live TV.

    Give them time. They have two more years to go.

    I'm interested in what they're going to use as their Reichstag Fire.

    Sure he is. We can see him leaving in real time. Those bruises on his hands? Those cankles? His weird way of standing? His inability to walk properly? The very obvious signs of increasing dementia?

    He's dying before our eyes.

    So when he's dead what, we get JD vans for another 10 years or 20, or however many they decide they're gonna stay in office?

    Hopefully you're right, and it ends with him, but I don't think so.

    I didn't say "it" ends with him. I said he's ending.

    Vance won't get the crazed following that Trump got, though. They'll have to find someone else besides the couch fucker.

    Sorry, you're right.

    Him, not it.

    Honestly I think we'll be taken out by a superpower before 29. Hope I'm wrong though.

    The only superpower left doesn't really tend to "take out" opposition. It just outlasts the everloving fuck out of it.

    The USA will happily take itself out in as slow and painful a way as possible until it effectively dissolves.

    After the midterms get rigged (ICE at polling stations, a multinational mercenary group at USPS warehouses, Trump supporters in election certification offices, etc.), some leftist accelerationist expecting to get killed anyway will probably provide a Reichstag Fire. The Trump administration will have national security agencies look the other way like the Bush administration did with the warnings about 9/11, and voilá, the current amount of surveillance will "be insufficient to stop the threat from within".

    As for the specific terrorist attack they'll let slip through the net - I don't know. Maybe let the white house get bombed so all of it will need to be rebuilt in a grander style. Maybe let the VP get assassinated so some unelected billionaire puppet can take his place and take over when Trump croaks. Maybe there are few enough terrorists that they'll let most plans through, or maybe they'll do a false flag to have full control.

    All we can say for sure is that Americans won’t do shit to stop it.

    We could start considering that urban planning in America has always been aimed at making protesting almost impossible. That and most people being one paycheck away from homelessness.

    At this point French children are showing Americans how better to fight government.

    I've got huge Fremdscham from watching Americans hold their quarterly "No Kings" outdoor barbecue party oh yeah and a little protesting too when comparing them, and I can't stress this enough!, to French children.
