    If Trump is really a wannabe fascist dictator just throw his ass in jail until he dies. Why hinge the whole thing on whether or not Biden wins?

      Because if they throw one president in prison it's a slippery slope to the rest of them being held liable for their many, many crimes.

          That’s what they do with their politicians in the Australia of Discworld, they arrest them right away because it saves time

      Liberals insist that republicans are fascist, taliban, compromised by foreign agents, undemocratic, and evil and that only the Democratic Party can protect democracy. Yet they will still allow the republicans to operate and hold contests with them every 2-4 years.

      One party communist government? BAD!

      Convoluted “liberal democracy” where you allow the people you consider undemocratic terrorists to hold power and negotiate with them for bread crumbs even when you’re in control of the country and military? GOOD!

        I don't know what's more sad. Them cynically saying Trump launched a coup to scare their voters into voting for them, or Trump actually launching a clown coup failing and them being too much of weak pussies to fucking hang his ass.

          bipartisan

          I absolutely hate that word in english. I grow up reading and hearing that "partyzant" is a guy who kills nazis and blows up their stuff. Bipartisan should be just two of them. And now every time i hear that word in english it's always US ghouls agreeing on some ghoulish shit.

            I’m a bipartisan in the historical sense of the word: I’m a partisan from both sides
