Summary
The 2024 election is depicted as a critical juncture for American democracy, likened to a fragile Jenga tower where each removed piece makes the base more unstable.
If re-elected, Trump is expected to follow an “Orbánist” approach, systematically eroding democratic institutions through Project 2025—a plan designed to consolidate power by reshaping government agencies and replacing nonpartisan civil servants with loyalists.
Unlike his chaotic first term, his team now has a deliberate strategy to weaken governance, risking increased polarization, diminished public trust, and potential political instability.
For the last couple of years I’ve quit going to all the little rural communities in SE Michigan I spend money at who are voting for Trump at proportionally high rates. If they don’t want us, they don’t want our money either.
What is the opposition proposing to make it harder for that? Actual policies please
Sure this lunatic is promising to burn down my house, but the alternative hasn’t given me plans for how to arrange the furniture.
Just unthinkably god damn stupid.
Your response to Trump threatening to burn everything to the ground is to ask anyone who isn’t Trump what they’re going to do to stop it? Not outrage at Trump?
We’ve been living with the consequences of Trump for 8 years. The democrats have been in power for 4 years. I’m not aware of anything the democrats have done to make a dictator less likely. They haven’t cut presidential powers. They haven’t even attempted meaningful healthcare reform. But I’m the one sea lioning… Libs…
Listen, if you can’t tell me, in detail, the plan the bomb squad has to defuse the bomber’s bombs, then I’m just going to have to assume the bomb squad is incompetent and vote for the bomber threatening to blow everyone up.
you expect a layperson to be capable of that? you’re expectations are too high. that’s the level of detail aftter you just need to go read their own words.
the Harris walz campaign has pages and pages of details about exactly what and how they plan to manage that. go read that. it surely has the answers.
I was making a sarcastic analogy aimed at how dumb the original commenter’s request was. I do agree with you.
“Please waste your time and make me look credible by dignifying my utter ridiculousness with a legitimate response, thanks.”
It’s absolutely sealioning at the best.
