The GOP congress are the ones with the real power and they’re anything but unified. Trump is one of the worst presidents of all time but there have been monsters before and there inevitably will be again.
But a violent uprising is more beneficial to Trump than it is to us. The chances of a better system replacing the current one is basically zero without the majority of people willing to agree on what a better system looks like and how to organize it quickly without concessions, otherwise the USA will just become a corpse for the looming vultures to land on.
Trump will override whatever the GOP congress decides at the barrel of a gun. SCOTUS gave the president explicit permission to commit violence against his political enemies. Does the “Night of Long Knives” ring any bells? Trump takes direct inspiration from Hitler, including with how he plans to purge dissent.
His base is not on the side of the dissenters, and will only cheer him on. That’s what ousting Kevin McCarthy was all about. Removing anyone who will say no. If they try to gain leverage, he can use the power of the state to brutally suppress them. If you know a godamn thing about project 2025, you should know that it doesn’t plan to worry about what congress thinks.
That’s also probably part of his tariff strategy. He knows both political parties want free trade, as global capitalism was an important part of America’s geopolitical strategy. However, free trade also hurts many sectors of our economy, particularly the industry side. This has led to the antisemitic tinged hatred of (((globalists))), allowing anger from capitalism to be redirected towards the Jews. When GOP congress members speak up on behalf of capitalism or Jewish people, Trump will make a hit list of the loudest voices.
Again, I’m not joking about this. This is how Trump will become the dictator he promised to be. Checks and balances are finished, elections are finished, and neither party can do anything about it. NOBODY really has rights anymore. Even the rich are in danger if they seriously challenge Trump.
Lol OK then, if thats what the USA chose for themselves then I have no pity.
However, I do disagree with you on the power rankings, here. Congress is at the top as far as I see it. The pentagon isn’t going to do shit for Donald if its funding is at stake because of it, and Trump alone has no system to ratify laws and initiate budgets.
Of course you don’t understand! I’ve lived here my whole life and am well versed in our political system. Ignorant foreigner!
I bet you see us as comparable in size to a European country. We’re at the scale of the EU. California has the population of Canada. Texas is more populous than Australia. You can drive 1000 kilometers and not leave your state. Our military dwarfs everyone else’s combined, and the entire world couldn’t mount a successful invasion if our overseas military got snapped from existence.
We have a lot of checks in place. That’s why Trump fell in the first place. Congress won on January 6th in 2021 because Trump didn’t have the military. This time, he’ll purge the military and every other federal office for the next four years. By then, he’ll have corrupted everything too much for elections to matter.
This great nation will probably break apart in the next few decades, despite how well our military is set up to not fracture. It’ll take a while for the military to disentangle enough for that to happen. Until then, there will be no civil war, only anarchy and fascism. Maybe everyone will get tired of fighting and we’ll hold a constitutional congress, but I doubt it’ll hold together after that.
Just remember for where you live: It can happen anywhere. Never let the rich get too strong. Social Democracy is as far right as liberalism can sustainably go.
Jfc that narrow-minded idealist obsession with Trump. Trumpism cannot be defeated with lesser evilism when the lesser evil is basically also far right, only slightly more to the left and that is also dubious with all the war mongering, which Trump’s promise to put it to an end indisputably helped him secure a victory, alongside a slew of economic shortcomings affecting the working class (even though his solutions are no solutions at all)

He literally was beaten by a lesser evil and it did a lot of good for a lot of people, so yeh.
You don’t like to see blood so you voted for the river?
