These are the actions of an autocrat.

    Hopefully when dems get in, they will do the same thing, then after that and they have the majority, create actual laws preventing this shot from ever happening again. If trump was smart he’d be doing that now himself but he doesn’t have foresight

        There is no way the American people will let that happen. So this shit goes on and whatever happens, but there is 0 chance that the military or the people will let that happen. Zero. Such a doomer.

          Let what happen? It’s already happened. When you say “the military or people won’t let that happen”, you’re describing a counter-coup to retake, and re-establish democracy. Will that happen? Unclear. But currently as it stands, Trump is blatantly ignoring what courts say, because he and his SCOTUS believe article 2 of the constitution places him above the law.

          We RE-ELECTED a guy that tried to steal the election. Where’s the hope in us being any better at stopping him the second time around?

      “Hopefully” here is doing a lot of work for you. I have 0 expectation of fair elections going forward.
