Elections were the deal. We'd vote for representatives and abide by their decisions rather than, y'know, killing people in the streets to change society.

When elections can't change society, though. When the deal is broken, it's back to the old ways.

Yeah that's only when it's Democrats trying to change things.

A big part of why he lost in 2016 2020 was greatly expanded mail in voting. No surprise he wants to ban it.

Well this is going to go extremely poorly.

It is 100%. Max Stirner talked about that in the 1800s.

Same :o

Indeed, if they ran out of things to hate they would have to invent new ones. It's the only way they can operate. The hatred is the only constant.

Go look at who Trump pardoned in his first term. He's gonna do it anyway, saying it's because of Biden is a weak ass excuse. Don't be fooled.

"Is it my fault that I refuse to run on popular issues and can't win elections? No, it is the voters who are wrong."

How many "leftists" do you think exist in the US? Like, is this more or less than 1% of the electorate? 5%? This has the same energy as The Onion's "still too early to tell which minority to blame for the election". Maybe the Dems just actually suck ass.

...labelling things as fascist isnt very useful right now

What do you think "fascism" is? Like, this line of argument worked ten years ago because people didn't know what the fuck they were looking at, but now? NOW?!

Contrary to what other people will tell you, yes he could. For example, he could simply order all loan records destroyed and all loan enforcement stopped. He doesn't even need that Court ruling to do that, the Executive branch opts to not enforce laws all the time. Simply stop the government from doing anything about student loans. In fact, he (his administration) has done some of this--see the note on this page:

On March 9, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education asked the U.S. Department of Justice to request a pause of any active bankruptcy case if the borrower wishes.

Right now, student loans are a huge problem in the US because (unlike other debts) you cannot (easily) get out of student loans through bankruptcy and young people are getting saddled with monstrous amounts of debt that they aren't entirely consenting to, so rather than fix that in any way the "fix" was to simply force students to repay the loans regardless.

At the same time: no, he could not.

The fact of the matter is the case would eventually end up before the Supreme Court who would simply find against Biden. Nothing Biden does would be considered legal, everything Trump does would be considered legal. Literally the only way out of this is to remove the Justices who have no regard for the law.

This immunity ruling is a loaded gun that the Supreme Court dropped on the desk of the President. If the Biden does anything with it, the Supreme Court is going to say "no that's illegal, you can't do that!" Using this immunity ruling to remove them would be a good option, but Biden has no intent of ever doing that and so the loaded gun is still sitting on the desk for when Trump takes office. Whenever Trump does anything, the Supreme Court is going to simply say "immunity".

The fact that the establishment Dems happily supported Adams is an embarrassment.

I would hope he was lying. I can't imagine he's so stupid he can't see.

That's... not really true? Or at least i haven't run into that problem.

As in Wayland yes. X does have color correction stuff, which is the most important part.

It's kind of embarrassing they still don't have this tbh.

It's also not automatically end-to-end encrypted (as i understand it) so it's possible for those who aren't tech savvy to set it up wrong.

Trump got more votes in 2020 than in 2016 by a large margin. Don't forget the pandemic was still in full swing in 2020. In 2024 more people voted for him than 2020.

Whatever their reasoning, people are looking at this guy and they like what they see.
