      I am not familiar with the US system. Is it really realistic that a US president can abolish or fundamentally change the rules around the democratic process?

    They said this shit in 2016. Last time I checked Trump isn’t president anymore.

    This dumb scare rethoric isn’t gonna make anyone vote for Genocide Joe anymore. The terror Dems must learn.

      You realise Trump actually tried to stay in power after losing the vote? Even with violence.

      scare rethoric […] terror Dems

      I’ll give you some time to notice it yourself

        If he did then the American justice system will surely punish him for it and you won’t have to worry about Trump anymore!

        People were screaming about the coup shit in 2016 and it didn’t happen. The same joke won’t work again.

          Two thirds of the supreme court judges are republican, one third appointed by Trump himself. Also he could likely just pardon himself if he wins. So I wouldn’t bet on it

          Edit:

          People were screaming about the coup shit in 2016 and it didn’t happen. The same joke won’t work again.

          If people forcefully entering the capitol and claiming Trump is still the president is not a coup attempt then what do you think one looks like?

          Also “the democracy didn’t collapse the first time so what could go wrong the second time?” Is not that strong of an argument

      And then they actually tried to do exactly what the meme predicts. We are just lucky that the magas were too stupid

    Hmmm… I think I’ll go for the second this time around.

    I’d also vote for DeSantis or Ramaswami this election. I refuse to vote for Biden (or whoever is calling the shots behind him), or Harris, or Newsom.

    Seriously, how is it possible that my own party can’t get their shit together and find an actually likable candidate that can at least convince me they might be doing it for my own interests?

      So now you vote for the other party that’s even worse at what you criticise? Did I get this right?
