When they say 'martial law' what they mean is a coup. That's what it would entail. They are demanding that our republic be dissolved and a fascist dictatorship be put in its place. Don't let conservatives slide on this. They are enemies of democracy and need to be called out for it.

You know _something _ is going to happen. They’re not going to accept political defeat.
Don’t forget:
We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

Which translates to "Don't you fucking dare get in our way, or we'll make the streets run red in a river of blood"
I think they will be quite surprised should they attempt it. I don't think they have understood how easily DIY drones could take out top brass targets in this day and age. They are very much not safe.
or how many liberal, left wing gun owners there are.
There are a lot. We just go below notice because we're not psychopath ammosexuals trying to sexually assault our firearms (incidently, the sig p320 is probably an incest baby from their gun fucking)
i just watched a dude make thermite out of aluminum cans on youtube, just dropping that shit on the roof of a few data centers would fuck this up, doesnt that stuff burn through anything?
It is EXTREMELY wishful thinking to think that even if the midterms result in a MASSIVE loss for the president that it will result in any change whatsoever. He's already ignoring and executive ordering to cancel out acts of Congress. Replace EVERY single member of congress with a democrat and it STILL doesn't matter because Congress has no teeth whatsoever. The ONLY outcome of a massive loss will be a momentary loss of face that he will just spin his own reality around anyway, and everything will continue on business as usual.
So we're doing "the elections were rigged" for a third time now?we need new writers on this show
- ICE at polling places
- Lost ballot boxes
- Elon
- Postal shenanigans
- Republicans lose house and senate convincingly
- Lots of legal challenges
- House and Senate just don't acknowledge newly elected reps, delay, et cetera
- Lots of legal challenges that proceed very slowly
- Impeachment
- Martial law
- Lots more legal challenges
- Nothing changes.
I wish you luck Americans but as a nation you've demonstrated that you're unable to respond to this challenge.
For some reason deranged pessimistic views are so celebrated on this website. If it’s not fascism, it’s climate change and we’re all going to die in the next year.
What’s the point of continuing living to you people who’ve already given up?
We know.
The only good news is that a lot of us have thought this was happening before now. Su they might not pull it off this time either.
And some progressive candidates are making progress.
It's very bleak. But it has been bleak for longer than much of the world noticed. So far we've survived albeit not without many losses and setbacks.
Their lack of ability and understanding are their only redeeming qualities.
But this is all just to set up for 2028, and a dry run. Not for the president of course he doesn't care about anything outside himself, but for the party, it is.
If they control one house of congress, they can refuse to recognize results and fillibuster it until it gets thrown to the States, where every state gets one vote, and they control over 30 of them.
That is one of many cheats they are planning, last resort kind of one. I suspect they are going to try and electronically cheat at vote totals, given that they got the inner workings of all the voting machines in swing states from pillow infomercial douche's group he set up, getting hard drives from states like michigan, arizona, colorodo, and everywhere else. It all varies by state, but I suspect they've been cheating as such since 2016 when the poll numbers were so offset from the actual results.
I'd like to see some exit polling to confirm because that is traditionally the most accurate.
I’m still worried that the space Nazi fucked with numbers in 2024 and that nobody in charge wants to face the truth of what that means for our elections.
That is the way of these moderate democrats, accused of cheating first, now they would rather the country fall than call out the projection of cheating from the republicans. It sounds too stupid to be true when you say it out loud, that's how you know it's true.
Lol, the house and Senate don't get to refuse anything. The states send their representatives to Congress and they became the new Congress in January. This isn't a special election.
They're going to win control of at least the house, and from then on Trump will be a lame duck president. Any play at martial law won't work and will just make Trump look like even more of a pathetic joke, they would need many millions of people in the army to actually enforce it and they don't have anywhere near that.
So tired of the uneducated doomer shit on this site.
Oh also, from us "uneducated doomers"
Another random rule that is "discovered" that only non MAGAs have to follow. Maybe educate yourself.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has the unilateral legal authority to fire the Clerk of the House and appoint an acting replacement before the 120th Congress convenes on January 3, 2027. Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig and other legal analysts warn that Johnson could install a partisan loyalist who refuses to place certified Democratic members-elect on the official roll, thereby preventing them from voting for Speaker and effectively blocking a Democratic majority.
It's true. Since being in he hasn't been able to do ANYTHING without passing bills through Congress...
The end of his first term shows what will happen (except now it will be worse since he is on tilt)
Even with Democrats controlling the House, Donald Trump retained several significant unilateral powers in the second half of his first term (2019–2021):
Executive orders and memoranda – He directed the executive branch without congressional approval. In fact, he increased his use of executive orders and unpublished memoranda once facing a hostile House, particularly on immigration policy. Appointments – He nominated federal judges, Supreme Court justices, and executive-branch officials (subject to Senate confirmation, which Republicans controlled). Most notably, he nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in 2020. Pardons – The pardon power is entirely independent of Congress and cannot be overridden. Foreign policy and military command – He could make executive agreements (no Senate ratification needed), direct military operations, and set diplomatic policy. Veto – He will still block legislation Enforcement discretion – He will direct how federal agencies prioritize and implement existing laws.
honestly I'm hoping for societal collapse just so I don't have to go to work any more.
To the surprise of no one that’s actually been paying attention
Sounds like they're planning on declaring war on the population.
Did you not familiarize yourself with Project 2025?
'well, I didn't vote for him'
'both sides are the same'
'why do you support genocide?'
'no wars president'
'he knows how to run it like a business'
'im a fucking moron'
^^^all the above groups are the same
What a dumbass system where the president appoints people who are supposed to hold him accountable. Throw out the entire constitution, it’s garbage.
Hopefully this would end like in South Korea
For sure with all the other times people have stopped him from doing something illegal.
WHEN he does this, Kash Patel and the FBI won't do anything but HELP HIM. WHEN he does this, TOM Homan and the DHS won't do anything but HELP HIM. WHEN he does this, Todd Blanche and the DOJ won't do anything but HELP HIM. WHEN he does this, Pete Hegseth and the Military won't do anything but HELP HIM. WHEN he does this, John Roberts and his SCOTUS won't do anything but HELP HIM.
When Democrats get in, if Mike Johnson allows it, they might be able to impeach some of them and then trump will install an "interim" appointee that will be no different.
There will be martial law if they win. Mark my words.
Lose election? Martial law. Win election? Believe it or not, also martial law.
And probably call the elected congress a coup attempt
That's real Shady
If they thought they could get away with it they would have done it by now.
