The attempted coup is still ongoing. Right now, right here, is the test of America, and if our forefathers created a system that can withstand tyranny from within. That was the whole point of the ‘checks and balances’ system, but it’s been corroded from within so badly now, I’m unsure if we’re going to survive it. We’re already slipping backwards by leaps and bounds.
please elaborate
Bad actors at every level of government, places there by a concerted effort, to subvert the checks and balances designed to stop this. See the Federalist Society, and the extensive work they’ve done to pack the courts all the way to the Supreme Court with sycophants.
And the supreme court is now saying they answer to nobody, not the president, not congress.
They answer to the billionaires buying them.
Yep. Clarence Thomas only answers to one authority and that authority is Harlan Crow.
Who Id like to point out collects Nazi “memorabilia” 🤮
And his “reason” is because he hates Nazis so much.
It’s all there in the constitution. Look it up.
‘There will be a Supreme court.’
Hmm odd. Thought there might be more to say about it for a court that its supposed duty is to interpret the constitution.
You missed the:
the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
And currently, Alito is saying that congress can’t regulate them at all, that they do whatever they want.
Because you lost the majority suddenly the highest court in the land that has operated for 250 years should just be trashed “because I don’t like the people”
Sounds fascist to me.
It’s that they don’t seem to respect the institution; they ignore precedent in rulings, feel they are above the law, and appear to be partisan
And honestly the power of the judiciary has steadily grown for over a hundred years now. Judges and AGs have taken the citizenry out of the process by gradually eliminating juries from the process.
In 1938, 20% of federal civil suits landed in a trial by jury. Today? Less than 1%. Criminal cases have had a similar move: the courts agreed that plea bargains were constitutional as a result of 1970’s Brady v. United States. Now, about 2% of criminal cases go to trial.
By removing juries from court rooms, judges have decided that the law should be the exclusive purview of educated elites. Rather than needing to make compelling arguments to a diverse body of people, lawyers just need to convince one scared person that they’ll do more time if they try to fight. And judges cracking down hard on ideas like jury nullification mean that, even if the accused do go to trial, the judge might not let their peers decide anyway.
The executive and judiciary branches have taken a stranglehold on the US government while the citizenry most direct representation in Congress has gradually given up more and more.

They’re fat, stupid and unvaxxed. They may have guns but most don’t seem to know how to use them properly and treat it more like a sexual fetish. They won’t cooperate with each other for long and tend to infighting for power. Bring on the civil war and finish Sherman’s job.
Take no prisoners.

I hear guns will blow you… Away.
Racist losers already lost one civil war, with better odds than now.
Let’s imagine they put rainbow-handcuffs on Trump when he’s imprisoned.
They better be the fuzzy kind to make it kinky
Oh, of course the fuzzy kind. With little Mifepristone logos around the keyholes.
If the southern states want to leave the US, just let them. Nothing of value will be lost.
There are a lot of left wing people in the south that don’t deserve to be left behind or ignored, and treating political campaigning and general efforts to improve things in the south like a waste of time and money only adds to the problem.
Georgia gave y’all the senate majority and you want to spit in their faces for it.
No one wants to spit in their faces. It’s just their responsibility to get out the votes.
Lots of liberal people in the South don’t vote, and then they wonder why they lose. Local government has one of the biggest effects on people’s lives and many people ignore it.
Lots of liberals in the south have had their vote suppressed so badly it’s nearly impossible for them to vote. Long lines, and no time off for the working class forces people to not vote.
“Hard” is not the same as “impossible”. Saying it’s impossible to vote is an insult to people in the Civil Rights Movement who literally risked their lives for these basic rights.
It’s a question of priorities. These are the states that allow early voting or voting by mail:
https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/early-in-person-voting
Except states that purge voter roles without notifying people, and when they show up to vote, they can’t. I’d say that’s the state making it impossible for them to vote.
Also early voting doesn’t mean easy voting. Many of those states only allow early voting one day a week at a single location serving a large population which still incurs large lines which take a long day which they need to take off from work.
Not actually calling out the intentional movement to reduce the ability for many people to vote is a much larger insult to the Vote Rights Act, not the Civil Rights Movement. It’s also pretending that everything is fine without actually understanding the underlying problems with the system.
Georgia gave us the Senate? Nah, they are finally voting in their interest not everybody else’s. So no they didn’t go "oh guys here you go I was saving this gift just for you democrats.
I mean, they’d instantly sell out to Russian and/or China, flood our markets bypassing import terrifs and sanctions, and militarily give away the gulf for a massive foreign military and commerce foothold.
Don’t fall for that patriotic crap. They are bought very cheaply.
Access to the mouth of the Mississippi is definitely of value.
They tried and they failed, I don’t think they have what it takes.
Hey, we got guns too. Fat assholes riding walmart scooters are easy targets at range.
I say we egg them on relentlessly until they do so we can thin some fuckimg herds.
I think covid is already doing a good job at that.
They need to be reminded of that.
Looking at the „nO pOlItIcS“ crowd going nuclear in this comment section about a topic they don’t care about.
It tickles my funny bone.
If the Pokemon Sylveon were introduced today it would be enough to restart the Satanic Panic

Meanwhile Sleepy Joe (or Walter from Jeff Dunham’s ventriloquist act) is saber-rattling with the Russians. Hakuna fucking matata.
As someone from a European country, I’m glad the US has got our back
The most American thing to do is make a deal and go back on it. Just like most of our history. Right?
- Native Americans
- Chinese immigrants
- Freed African American
I hate to admit it, but you’re not wrong. We are the baddies.
Shut yer yappin’, KKona
No chance they give a fuck about RuPaul. He’s iconic at this point.
