Thread by @DrewHolden360

This man has been PRESIDENT for FOUR YEARS. He had a united republican government. For all his faults, he didn’t turn into a dictator.

This kind of fearmongering bullshit from the Dems will be more effective at re-electing Trump than anything the GOP could do.

Oh God. Pray for me. We’re doing a thread. There are 12 reasons. Here are 12 responses:

1. Power of the military to supremacists riots: federalism aside, he’s overseen the most contentious riots since the 60s, led by his political opponents, and hasn’t turned into a dictator.

2. Voter fraud: not even something within his control. Voter fraud is handled across all 50 states and, should it come to it, at the Supreme Court. He has no power here.

3. He might remain in office: this is just asinine. If he lost, and remained in office, he would be escorted out.

This is Democratic fan fiction at this point.

4. Outlawing speech.

The press has never been more critical of a president - and, as we saw during the Russian collusion hoax, in a way more baseless - than Trump. And yet, reporters get free roam.

Wonder why that is?

5. Controlling “lies as truth”

Two points:
1. Maybe Fox’s viewership is a critique on the mainstream media

2. The man got impeached over a hoax. Clearly the people with power over wielding lies as truth are, for the most part, not in his camp.

6. He can do whatever he wants.

No president has been held back more meaningfully from his objectives - rightly or wrongly - by the courts and Congress than Trump, at least since FDR.

7. More total control of government BS:

As President, he can fire lots of people. The Dems led an impeachment, in part, for firing people. So clearly it isn’t something he can do without any implications. Christ.

8. and 9. No one can criticize him without consequence.

*deep breath*

HE WAS IMPEACHED! THE OTHER POLITICAL PARTY LED A MADE FOR TV TRIAL BASED ON LIES FOR MONTHS!

(To say nothing of the 6 and 7 figure book deals that everyone involved got, OJ Simpson style)

10. Messianic delusions?

I tried to come up with a response. But for the love of God, Dems, just be better.

11.

Okay, I take it all back. This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

If Trump was one iota the dictator you all pretend he is, you would be in prison for libel.

12. Yeah his fawning over dictators is dumb but my God, if THAT is your case for why a second term means we plunge into a dictatorship, you need to log off of this website, take a deep breath, have a stiff drink, get some fresh air, and find a hobby, you absolute lunatics.

I will tolerate just about every bad take about Trump in both directions, but to hear the same people who gnashed their teeth about ‘our norms’ pretend his re-election would doom democracy is a briefer too far.

I don’t care if you like him or not. This histrionic bullshit has no place in our society and I have zero interest in listening to anyone who traffics in these conspiracy theories.

I continue to stand in awe of the ability of the Democrats to fuck up what should be the easiest election win in the last 150 years.

The life of the Democrats is conditioned on losing. And life finds a way.
