just_another_personAnalyst says Trump officials may flee if Democrats win midterms: 'Would not be surprising'
CerebralHawksFlee to where? Russia? What safe harbour exists for fascists that they might flee to?
Argentina, just like last time
CharlesDarwinTo Argentina?
The historic refuge of their ilk
I honestly think that’s what they are trying to setup. Full stop.
vaultdweller013Hey now some Confederates fled to Brazil, it ain’t just Argentina where they may go
Yeah. Mostly Argentina, but also Brazil, Chile, Paraguay. That’s what the first comment was talking about- “To Argentina?”
I was making reference to the Dixie colony set up by ex-confederates after the civil war. I am well aware that the Nazis were scatter shot across South America as a whole.
redlemaceWe did just put a deposit and first months rent on effectively they entire country with that $40B Trump sent them. I heard its non-refundable so we gotta use it.
Nazis in Argentina, it’s all coming full circle
Just like King Trump’s anus.
How does resigning protect their criminal asses from being subpoenaed?
quick_snailPlease. Nothing will happen because the Supreme Court will back Trump. Trump will pardon them.
The only possible path to accountability is if Democrats take control of Presidency/House/Senate in 3.5 years. And even then I doubt anything will be done in the name of “healing the nation”.
We don’t have 3.5 years, the midterms are all we have left.
In less than a year, the GOP has normalized complete fealty and disregard of the rule of law to Trump. Complete victory for fascism in the US right now is a matter of “when” and not “if.”
Which makes the midterms (ugh, once again, I’m getting so tired of this) the most important election of our lifetimes. Assuming we can still get free and fair elections in 2026 under the wire of total fascist takeover - re-elevating Congress to an equal branch of the government that will not merely rubber-stamp Trump’s agenda is literally the only legal move we have left.
That is if these Nazis haven’t already fully rigged the coming mid-terms, through all the various/nefarious means.
They own the voting machine companies, no ?
leadoreIf things keep going as they are (and maybe already), there’s no chance for a free and fair midterms election. The last election was the most important one and we blew it.
I agree we jumped off the cliff. But since I’m not ready to smash against the rocks, I’m holding onto any rational hope, even if it’s akin to fashioning a parachute out of our shirts on the way down.
Same. Cognitive dissonance allows me to both acknowledge really and cling to hope at the same time. You never know if it’s really hopeless until you’ve actually hit the rocks, so let’s go ahead and try to make that parachute.
I live in a red state but I’ve still always voted so it won’t be that different for me anyway. 🥲
I don’t think we did. Remember when the traitors had their hands on physical voting machines and source code?
He didn’t win. He wasn’t shot. He’s on the list.
ripcordHonestly the whole budget crisis gives me hope that our institutions are holding up.
Trump hasn’t “ordered” that the government reopens.
He doesn’t want it to open. He’s got more power without all that overview. And his goal is to crash and burn everting, so shutting g down the government help with that.
He’s been simultaneously bragging and telling Republican senators not to negotiate
Scotty_TreesBruh real talk, you can’t vote your way out of fascism. You know exactly what I’m talking about.
RivalarrivalThe only possible path to accountability is…
… a fleet of guillotines.
I don’t know either, but I think a “gallery” would be a find collective term.
It’s “a justice” of guillotines.
explodicleA Terror
CileTheSaneThe collective term is a “find out”.
Why? PROSECUTING Criminals would be POLITICAL and that’s BAD for Democrats! It’s MUCH Better to Let them FREE and have them do a Handshake promising they WONT be Criminals again!
I swear I will become a fucking bounty hunter and drag their asses back to the US to face trial.
Real talk if we manage to shake them off it’s our duty to sign up for things like FBI jobs and the Coast Guard etc. National Guard for sure. State Guard already… We need to pack the institutions like they are trying to.
Pretty funny theory.
What are all these white liberals going to do when the elections are blatantly stolen and republicans galvanize their stranglehold on America next year?
Repugs are going to lie and say they won fairly, and the corporate news media will 100% back them up on that lie. Seriously libs, what are you going to do then? Gonna just try to get em next time in ‘28?..
All “normal” routes were already lost as of Jan. 20th when they took power and threw away the Constitution. With one party and the SCOTUS on their side it’ll be almost impossible to dislodge them using peaceful means. There may still be a chance to save what scraps of democracy remain at the state and local levels and try to rebuild from there but to succeed that way will take a generation or more.
It’s irritating to see all these pundits talk about, “well, when the Dems are back in power …” They’re the ones who are supposed to know what’s going on. If they really believe it’s going to work that way, they’re in total denial.
Dem voters are going to do absolutely nothing.
They didn’t do shit when GWB created “Homeland Security” and the Patriot Act. They didn’t do shit when Citizens United passed. They did nothing when Russia installed a puppet in the White House a decade ago. They did nothing when he stole classified documents. They did nothing when he was convicted of multiple felonies. They did nothing when he started calling the national guard into US cities. They did nothing when he demolished the east wing…
There is no resistance. They did 2 fucking “peaceful” parades in 4 months. US liberals deserve whatever they get.
As the 2026 midterm elections fast approach, …
“Fast” approach? It already feels like an eternity since Jan. 20th and there’s still over a year to go. 😩
They’ve done so much damage so fast
