The latter. They think they can still vote their way out of fascism in 2026 and 2028. Until they experience a famine caused by the GOP and oligarchs running the economy into the ground, people are not going to be pissed off enough to do anything of consequence.

Any elections the US will have from here on out will just be for show, just like Russia and Nazi Germany. November 2024 was the last chance to prevent America’s descent into fascism and the orange fuckwit got more votes than every other Republican candidate this century.

The only way out from here is a general strike which will ultimately be subject to state-sanctioned violence against its own people, leading to a violent revolution. But it’ll take a lot more suffering amongst ordinary people to get to that point.

After the GOP used voter suppression, lawsuits & voting machine sabotage to successfully rig the 2024 election - there will never be another free & fair election in the United States ever again. Until Americans are willing to use their 2A privilege to stand up to this dictatorship it’s only downhill from here.

Evidently not gonna happen until Americans experience mass starvation and enslavement by billionaire oligarchs. Right now they are just as passive as the Russian people and are letting king kiddy-fiddler & the GOP do whatever they want.

No doubt this will be used against anyone who protests king kiddy-fiddler in future, much like psychiatric hospitalization was used in the Soviet Union against dissidents.

Americans voted this asshole into power, if the rest of the world had any backbone we would be isolating the US from international trade via harsh sanctions & retaliatory tariffs, so once unemployment hits great depression levels in the US the people would stand up and solve the problem themselves.

Instead, countries like mine are lining up to kiss his ass because our leaders are neo-liberal pussies who are bought by the same ownership class as the American Democrats, and thus can’t fathom the idea of a slight drop in profit.

He would be dead shortly after being locked up because he wouldn’t survive withdrawal from his fast food and orange makeup addiction.

Translation: Trump’s brownshirts are going to kidnap American citizens that lost a roof over their heads to private capital firms and put them in concentration camps to be enslaved until they die.

I know that most Americans struggle to read beyond a level that most 11 year olds elsewhere can, but come on - surely they’ve seen the history channel or at least heard of the Holocaust? In the country with the most well-armed civilian population in the world, how much more of this shit are you people going to take?

Elections in the US won’t ever be free or fair ever again now that the child fucker is back in charge, the GOP have spent decades taking control of the courts & gerrymandering their way to absolute control.

The only way that democracy and workers rights can be restored at this point is if everyone starts picking up their guns and starts systematically executing billionaires & their puppets. There are more of you than them, it’s time you started acting like it.

Unless someone is willing to risk their own life to shoot him dead, nothing whatsoever will happen. Even if there are free & fair elections again (which there won’t be) the Democrats will appoint Garland 2.0 in an effort to ‘heal’ & ‘move on’.

I wonder if his new ‘plug’ after Epstein was working for the Russians, and the kompromat is hard evidence of Trump fucking children. Either that, or they have hard evidence of him fucking his own daughter - what he’s said about Ivanka over the years implies he’s crossed that line.
