I wrote TWO stories on here, years ago, predicting Trump trying for a dictatorship (Choices,choices and Emily's Strange Life). Do I get kudos or was it just obvious all along?

Nostradamus

Can you predict what BIG LIE the echo chamber will assert next? Perhaps Mike Pence is the CEO of Antifa?

Next prediction

My next prediction is 1. some idiot will claim Joe Biden constitutionally can't be President because certification wasn't completed until January 7th 2. If there are no consequences for Trump, Giuliani. Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Louie Gohmert, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Tomi Lahren and the rest, someone will try another coup sometime down the road

Conspiracy theorists gonna theorize conspiracies

some idiot will claim Joe Biden constitutionally can't be President because ....

They already tried that with Obama -- remember the "birthers"?

It won't stop Biden from becoming president, but I'm sure they'll add it to the cesspool of conspiracy theories. If not this pretext, then some other one; and probably both.

No full term

Biden will not complete his full term, Pelosi will invoke the 25th Amendment so Harris becomes the first woman President.

Predictable, at any rate

It was kind of predictable.

We've known for a long time what kind of person he was, and that he really, really hates being thwarted in anything he wants to do. Given that he'd already collected a mob of admirers (70+ million?) which included a bunch of people who really enjoy being violent (as long as there are no consequences), using them to intimidate the people who were thwarting him was a no-brainer.

What's unrealistic about Polly's stories is the idea that Trump would have any kind of coherent plan for converting his power into an organized regime. Mussolini had fascism, Hitler had Naziism, but Trump has only the desire to be able to indulge his impulses without restraint.

Good point. Let's hope the

Good point. Let's hope the next person to mobilise Trump's base behind them isn't smarter. If Trump had the smarts of a Huey Long we'd have been in real trouble.

Syllogisms for Sociopaths

As far as I can tell, the guy's worldview goes something like this:

A.) In war, lying to the enemy is not only allowable, it's the smart thing to do...
B.) Life is war, and anybody who doesn't let me do anything I want is my enemy...
C.) Anybody who would let me do whatever I want doesn't care if I'm lying or not
... (and while I have no obligation to reciprocate their loyalty, they're useful tools)...
D.) Therefore, I am perfectly justified in lying about anything + everything, anytime
..."Ethics" are for suckers...

I'm not bashing him because he's a Republican president. I got this vibe off of him as far back as the early nineties when he was pretending to be a liberal, because that was what was useful to him at the time, and just about everything he's done or said since then has confirmed it. But you actually have to believe in something (besides yourself) to be a liberal, a conservative, a Nazi, a commie, an anarchist or a theocrat. As the Jewish character Walter in The Big Lebowsi said when confronted by a pack of deranged Nihilists: "Ugh, Nihilists! Say what you will about the tenants of National Socialism, at least it's an Ethos..." (which I don't think was seriously intended as a justification for such an evil philosophy, just another bit of absurd dialogue in that strange little film)

The Only Book

Trump ever read from cover to cover was Mein Kampf, which was written by another raving megalomaniac. The Nutzis are great at slinging insults. My dad was Anti-Fa. He fought Fascists and Nazis in WW2 and before in Spain. I don't think he intended to save democracy for the likes of these shits.

I am derided as "woke", meaning I am labelled as some kind of latte-sipping socialist snowflake, when what I actually do is oppose injustice. I don't actually drink latte and I'm not a socialist. I'll let you decide if I'm a snowflake.

Many people who frequent this site will have experienced injustice. This administration has spent the last four years erasing the rights of those who don't conform to the gender "norm" and if the clowns who attempted to overthrow the elected government win we will have no rights at all.
