Lake told people that “the next six months is going to be intense” and urged attendees to be “ready for action,” calling out to military and law enforcement veterans in the crowd.
What honestly keeps me up at night is Drumpy was a test run. They saw what they could get away with in broad daylight. What will they do with the next R as president or control of both houses? They have the Supreme Court locked down, hundreds of down ballot judges, and many more in state and local govs. I feel like I am legitimately voting only to keep a dictatorship from being installed.
I don’t like calling it a “test run” because it implies it was some kind of plan. Republicans have been fostering this anti-intellectualism and reality-denying shit for decades, and what happened is that they lost control of the party to prolific conman that could out BS them all.
However, ultimately, your concerns are not unfounded because now they see how it could work. Trump and project 2025 already have plans in place to weaken every institution in the country if he takes office, and then fill them with loyalists. We were lucky the system held up last time because he wasn’t as prepared to dismantle. And I believe we were only a few key people away from jan 6th creating a constitutional crisis.
But now they’ve had 4 years of planning with people actually dedicating time to it, it’s scary to think what might happen. . .even if he does leave office.

Only if they already control the executive branch tho. This is an important reason to never vote GOP ever again.

I keep telling people we are stuck with this.
That is a fact, not a feeling. The options are either more of this shit or white supremacist dictatorship.
