Trump skips Illinois loyalty oath promising not to overthrow government
Trump skips Illinois loyalty oath promising not to overthrow government
The oath, dating to the communist scare of the 1950s, asks candidates to swear that they won’t support overthrowing the government.
Crosspost from c/politics
Yeah I get that the purpose of that Illinois election law was anti-Communist political posturing, but even if we can't bar him for being affiliated with a group intent on overthrowing the government, it should lend credence to him being an insurrectionist in the other cases currently in the courts or for new challenges in states, as applicable.
he's broken every oath he's ever taken, no reason to waste the effort
He is America's Mussolini. He just was too dumb to even get as far as Mussolini did
More like Hitler I think. Mussolini offered to crush ongoing communist and anarchist revolts to secure order for the ruling elite and they were happy to give him the power. Hitler got into office democratically by leveraging an economic crisis and then used loopholes and violence to secure a role as dictator.
So far!
What a fat bitch

Oh shit I thought this sub was c/theonion making an article on what crazy thing Trump would do. Damn
Because he's already tried and failed to overthrow the government
Even if he did, I feel like his stance on oathkeeping is simillar to Russia...
I'm conflicted cause this oath is a remnant of McCarthyism
I'm conflicted because trump is a remnant of the turd reich
Yeah, a real patriot would have succeeded in his coup!
