How do you view the fallout that might come from Jan 6th? Is he gonna tell his followers to stand down?
Why would he? What benefit is there to him? He can just say whatever he wants.
No one's claiming Trump isn't xenophobic or transphobic, the point is that he is not any more so than any other president
Lincoln died 156 years ago, he is completely irrelevant to everything today. Compare Trump to Bush, who founded ICE, or Obama, who built many of their concentration camps.
If our big wet boy can pull it off, it would be better for the US in the long run than Biden’s inauguration bringing about “The great PMC brunch”
I don't think the left is ready for fascist acceleration (and a coup definitely changes Trump from "kinda-sorta-arguably proto-fascist" to "yeah that's just fascism"). There aren't enough of us, we aren't well enough organized, and we aren't well enough armed.
If you're never going to be ready for fascist acceleration, then you definitely want to avoid it.
Accelerationism is like going around hoping some Proud Boy picks a fight with you. If you can win the fight, that's not a bad idea. If you can't, it's a terrible idea, at least until you can win the fight. If you don't think you'll ever be able to win the fight, better find some other way to achieve whatever you're trying to achieve.
The only big difference would be that the brunch would be crepes and mimosas instead of McBreakfast
If Trump were to pull off the coup than we would have a president who publicly called for $2000 checks instead of one who thinks the american people don't want a handout.
That's technically true, but Trump doesn't desire $2000 welfare as much as stirring shit with the establishment who wronged him
yeah, I was just doomer posting. it was meant to be read as a joke about how dark the situation is that despite having almost no difference between what will happen, there are even ways that superficially biden gets outflanked from the left by trump. just nothing good in any direction.
