    US democracy is being dismantled by a group of billionaire oligarchs, conservative ideologues and Christian nationalists who aim to permanently change the US in their interests. Those interests include taking over Canada and our resources.

      More like the facade of US democracy, having served it’s purpose, is being disposed of

            it’s willfully ignorant sentiments like this that gives the epstein class the freedom to do what they’re doing.

            Yeah but it’s expected for them, this would truly signal the fall of America as we know it. The President only running twice is like one of the things with America.

            It’s bad already, but if Trump steps down or the rest of the government finally does something about him and prevents him from running, then it’s just business as usual clicking that ratchet to the right. If he’s allowed to run again or keeps the presidency that’s the signal that the ratchet has reached the end.

              The stealing of elections doesn’t end with the president. This is part of a 50 year long game cooked up by the business roundtable in 1971, and project 2025 was just the latest iteration, and only the public facing part.

              Prez is too old and feeble, and politically weak, to run again. He will try if he’s still halfway cognizant, but he won’t succeed in getting a third nomination. No, it’s going to come down to who emerges from the nest of vipers as their leader, and I don’t think it will be either vance or rubio.

                  He really has lost it. He’s a vegetable, running on auto-dick, while his aides run the show and try to handle his outbursts of stupid.

                  He looks like shit too. Especially those pictures that catch him outside of his heavy make-up and choreographed events. Plus he’s getting super fat-er. Dude is close to 300 if he’s a pound I don’t know who he thinks he’s fooling, (claimed 220 pounds, 6’3" in his mugshot in GA. Now claiming like 230 something or whatever, right below the obese label. He’s 5’9" or so now too.)
