In two months...

[CousinIT]

"In two months, Trump will stand on the steps of the Capitol that he sent a violent mob to storm 4 years ago, place his hand on a book he has never read, and swear an oath he has previously violated, as administered by the Chief Justice who placed him above the law."

21. Dont obey ever. Dont capitulate. Misinformation cant take over our country

[TxGuitar]

23. Hannah Arendt said

"No one has the right to obey".

[hadEnuf]

46. Just say no.

NO

[La Coliniere]

2. Would call it a nightmare but

this is taking place in our conscious waking states and it is pure hell to be living through this awful, awful time in our history. I’ll never forgive those who brought us here.

[underpants]

3. That sums it up.

[riversedge]

5. "..as administered by the Chief Justice who placed him above the law." -This the one that

Trump will take advantage of--legal or not. --and we will all suffer to some degree. (except the well off).

[in2herbs]

4. I wonder if tfg is going to go thru all that pomp and circumstance and instead choose

a room in the WH where he'll quietly be sworn in. In this way he won't be required to address the people. I think tfg's handlers will see this route as a safer alternative than exposing tfg's continuing mental decline in an address to the people.

[Farmer-Rick]

12. How much you bet he gets a crown made

Maybe a bejeweled robe in gold mink.

We never have to vote again

[COL Mustard]

34. Step 1: Win control of the Senate in 2026

It should be less of a challenge in 2026, because the map seems to be more favorable. If Dems can win the Senate they can hobble Trump's dictatorial tendencies for the last two years anyway.

Fight on, never give up. This is bleak but at least we're not in an actual war.

[generalbetrayus]

44. That presumes we actually have Senate elections in 2026.

[Kali]

50. nope

he is way too much of a troll and an attention addict.

[doc03]

6. No Democrat should participate in his inauguration including President Biden. You know Trump

will do nothing but throw insults right to their faces in his speech.

[Farmer-Rick]

13. But they will participate

What other choice do they have?

I can think of a few but Dem politicians won't.

[doc03]

26. Trump never attended Biden's inauguration

and never admitted he lost. I know Biden will go to try and heal wounds and unify the country, it won't.

[Farmer-Rick]

29. Yeah, I think I would

Respect him more if he just stayed away. But he won't.

The Dem leadership seem to be taking the path of just another old white guy taking over the country. They leave out the Nazi and dictatorship parts.

[doc03]

32. I get so sick of our leadership calling them our

friends and colleagues while they call us evil, stupid, pedophiles, baby killers, communists and so on. Watch how they treat Chuck now that they have the Senate.

[Farmer-Rick]

37. If I were Chuck I would leave the country

He's on Trump's hit list. Watch as pedo Trump's enemies start disappearing or meet with unusual accidents.

[Hotler]

36. When do you stop playing nice with these people and shun them? The end of democracy not enough of a low point to

be a tad angry? Saying politely that you won't be attending is not being mean. I wouldn't show up just to keep from being arrested as a political enemy. Safety first and all that. What better way to feed your base and thank them for electing you than arresting political enemies on inauguration day on National TV.
Be well, be safe.

[Farmer-Rick]

38. Exactly this

He said he was going to be a dictator on day 1..... that's inauguration day.

Also Liz Cheney needs to get out of the US with her Dad, very quickly.

[Magoo48]

42. Tying themselves to the norms of the past

is like jumping in the lake with a concrete jacket.

[Botany]

7. And he will pardon the shits that attacked that building on your orders.

[CousinIT]

9. And they will be out for blood. Trumpista terrorists let loose to feed on society.

Now that they know they are above the law and Trump will pardon them, no telling what they'll do.

[Farmer-Rick]

15. A Nazi uprising

The purge is coming. Hispanics and people of color are squarely in the crosshairs.

Atheist, liberals and Dems are next.

[Elessar Zappa]

18. I have zero problem defending myself.

Most of these guys aren’t so tough.

[TheKentuckian]

25. Against a mob backed by law enforcement and maybe the military?

Even the army operates in units, one can only Rambo so much.

[flying_wahini]

35. Just remember that at Uvalde there was one shooter with Ak15 against 220 cops with gear and guns.

They were too chickenshit to go in.
It’s not that I support violence but don’t go picking on old ladies anytime soon. We are pretty pissed.

[TheKentuckian]

41. Most encouraging post I've read in almost a week.

Thank you!

[not fooled]

45. Yep. Or "lone wolves"

who realize they might not have to face consequences.

[doc03]

30. I bet he will pardon them right at the scene

of the crime calling them patriots on inauguration day.

[Botany]

31. Yup!

And have the government pay them lots of money for their suffering too after
which he will start project 2025.

We are looking at dangerous days for America.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

8. Can you imagine how bad that speech is going to be?

He'll probably go on for 4 hours.

[GiqueCee]

11. ... to a crowd of dozens, Photoshopped a thousand times. nt

[Farmer-Rick]

10. Once Kamala conceded

The election was lost.

There is only revolt and uprising that remain. I don't think the Dems would do that even to keep a dicktater out of the white house.

[paleotn]

14. Such is the fucked up world we live in.

Brought to you by....lazy, whiny Amurkins who don't know their asses from holes in the ground and listen to only what they want to hear, but are expected to then vote intelligently.

Somewhere on another plain of existence....Adams just tapped Jefferson on the shoulder and said...Thomas, that's what you get when you give the mob too much power. What have I been saying for over 2 and a half centuries? Jefferson: Shut up, John. Didn't I say we must inform their discretion by education? Adams: That plan failed, Thomas. Took a while, but failed miserably. Lincoln quips to Franklin...Well, looks like they finally found a generation that wasn't smart enough to keep it. Franklin: Yes, that was always a risk. The greatest risk. But as the Zen Master once said, we'll see.

Been a wild ride this week but in the stages of grief, I think I've reached acceptance, and recognize that I and we can only summize the future, not predict it. What we can do is keep the faith no matter what, recognize that we're in the right and they're not, and do the work to recover our democracy. Never been one for just throwing up my hands.

[Boomerproud]

27. Will never get to the acceptance phase.

[nuxvomica]

16. And he will assume the office unconstitutionally

Let's not forget that as an insurrectionist, he will be in violation of the clear language of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. He'll be in violation of the constitutional requirements of the office just as much as if he were under 35. Despite what the SC said about ballot enforcement, this will be true.

[intrepidity]

33. So much THIS nt

[Dave Id]

17. Trump taking the oath..

Will Trump use his own edited "Bible" to take the oath of office, or simply not bothering to take an oath at all since he's been elected king of the US for life?

[BattleRow]

20. A Chinese bible?

[3catwoman3]

19. An oath he will not mean a word of and...

…will have no intention of honoring.

[DAngelo136]

22. So what?

Not every loss is a defeat; nor every win a victory.
Ladies and gentlemen, The resistance begins. We're still right and they're still wrong.
Time will prove us right, history will prove us right but we still have to fight.
We get to be the a holes for a change. We don't have to "behave", we don't have to roll over and take it.
We can be as rowdy and noisy as they were.
Stop listening to the pundits, they're wrong as usual. Kamala didn't do anything "wrong".
The Republicans put up a garbage candidate knowing full well who he was and what he did. And they voted for him.
Accept the fact that we live in a country full of bigots, homophobes and xenophobes. The pundits would have you believe that if you sent
the "right message" that somehow they'd be "enlightened" and see the light.
When the hell has THAT ever happened?
Tell the left to get on board or get lost. If they were so damn popular, Jill Stein would be on her second term now.
If they want to play in the Democratic sandbox, they gotta pull their weight or get out of the sandbox and make their own party.
And people better start sending flowers and candies to Black women; they did work and got kneecapped by white women who smiled in their faces
and stabbed them in the back. They're hurt, they're tired and you will NEED them.
No matter what you think, you're not getting the majority of white voters; no Dem has gotten them since the Voting Rights Act. They showed up for Trump, too many Dems didn't.
Unacceptable.
I'm all for diplomacy, but sometimes you gotta tell people aobut themselves. This isn't the time to spare feelings, there's a war about to begin.

[Farmer-Rick]

39. There was some hanky panky with the vote counts

But it shouldn't have been so close anyway.

Just goes to show you what a good Russian KGB agent in your pocket can do with a democratic election. Especially if you let him run wild with your social media sites, corporate media and bribes....er.... campaign contributions not to mention free travel for Supremes.

Too bad Kamala has conceded already.

[Cirsium]

47. Being right

Being right and a dime $10 bill will get you a cup of coffee.

What sort of resistance against Fascism starts with a call to purge the Left?

[ultralite001]

24. He should be in jail...

TIA…

[Fla Dem]

28. Trump taking the oath of office is a farce. He's already violated it.

[Karasu]

51. Which is exactly what the 14th Amendment was intended to prevent.

Too bad we already threw the insurrection clause in the trash. Because heaven forbid an insurrectionist not be allowed to run and piss off his supporters. Enforcing the Constitution just ain't worth the trouble, you know.

[Martin Eden]

40. That is the indisputable TRUTH

Made possible by BIG LIES

[EnergizedLib]

48. That's a chilling thought

When you put it that way.

[hawkeye21]

49. Only in what used to be America . . .

It's so bizarre I'll never believe it. It'll be the greatest charade of all time, which is why NO Democrat should be anywhere near it.
