…Which is what we used to have. And it sucked.

It’s like people don’t remember how bad shit was pre-Obamacare.

I’m not sure they will. The rightwing propaganda machine will blame it on Democrats/immigrants/trans people somehow.

Let the health care system implode under the weight. Stop giving the fascists what they want.

I think that is what they want though? Health care imploding sounds like a fast track to a full-blown depression, which means Peter Thiel and his buddies can buy up land for cheap. Their stated goal is to form their own corporate city-states. Like ye olde company towns, but with more surveillance and less rights.

Yeah that’s fair. “Reaching across the aisle” is basically unvalued in this post-Gingrich world.

I don’t think most constituents would be happy with a dictatorship? Trump is doing horrible things, but the way in which he does them is horrible as well. But I do think fighting fire with fire is necessary, considering how close we are to collapse.

I haven’t seen West Wing. Heard good things though

The latter. But extreme measures: I also don’t think we have time to wade through legal processes and spend years in court before the country collapses. The next president needs to be prepared to, Day 1, declare a state of emergency and send Clarence Thomas to Guantanamo Bay, for example. (Well not literally day 1 because first they need to find and evict all the Trump loyalists and potential assassins in the executive branch, at least at the upper levels, so that they are even able to issue such an order – but you get the idea).

That’s a big overreach of executive power that many people will not be comfortable with, and history may not look fondly upon it…or maybe it will, if it proves necessary to save us from Trump’s damage.

I’m hoping a Dem will win, but they are going to have to do some “distasteful” stuff to fix the government, which means people may want them out after 1 term.

I’m a big fan of AOC, but I think I’d rather her wait until 2032. The next presidency (if there even is one) is going to be a fucking shitshow trying to clean up Trump’s messes. I’d rather her get the opportunity to be a “get shit done” President, instead of having to spend all her time rooting out Trump’s traitors in the government while getting villainized in the media.

In what way? If anything, it costs Microsoft money

Shhh, don’t tell them. It’s easier when they tell on themselves

Good thing the Senate just voted to give ICE 200 billion dollars
