Anything, because the SCOTUS decides what is and isn’t “official.” Democrat does it = unofficial. Republican does it = official.

Then after the Civil War, we treated the treasonous States with kid gloves and allowed them to openly idolize their traitorous leaders, leading to where we are now.
Um, yeah, voting isn’t effective if you don’t fucking do it.
It’s still possible to save it at this point, although the chances get worse and worse every year.
Packing the court solves nothing as it can be immediately reversed as soon as a Republican is in office.
The conservative court acts in tandem with the GOP. Any government organization run by them will provide the support.
DeSantis flopped miserably the last time he tried. The ones that are diehard GOP supporters will indeed flock to whoever is thrown at them, but the GOP has tied themselves to Trump because he has a cult that they rely on to get enough votes to win. It’s been 20 years since they’ve managed to get someone other than Trump elected.
The President Can Now Legally Assassinate You, Officially if it Supports the SCOTUS Majority’s Agenda
Anything Biden did would be determined to be “not official” by them because he’s a Democrat.
Democrats say “vote!” -> not enough people actually vote
Making the Judicial branch unelected lifetime appointments has proven to be a massive failure.
One thing that might save us is if Trump dies without managing to get elected. A sizable chunk of the GOP’s base are people who worship him specifically, and if he were gone it might splinter them. But it’s hard to know how that would play out for sure. The situation is definitely very, very grim.
Easier said than done. How could this bloody revolution ever come out in the people’s favor when the US government controls the most powerful military in the world? I want to know how everyone spouting off about taking power back by force realistically thinks it will play out.
And what would stop the next Republican president from packing the court further to have a conservative majority again?
*is continuing to fall. The next time any Republican becomes president, the end of the fall will be imminent.
It’s also hard to argue that any “official” act a president does is immune from prosecution. There is absolutely no way to twist the Constitution’s words to have that meaning. But they did it anyway.
“America - love it or leave it!”
“OK.”
Cranky Kong literally talks about being a video game character. A Nintendo hat is the least of it.
“I think the criminality of the Biden border policy should be looked at.”
Sorry, Lindsey, but the SCOTUS just ruled that literally anything the president does officially cannot be “looked at.”
I’m voting for Not Trump!
