Here we go... how does this end?1) Trump follows the law and abides by court orders (lol): SC overturns his policies2) Trump follows the law and abides by court orders (lol): SC upholds his policies3) Civil unrest; Trump imposed martial law4) Civil unrest; Trump gives in5) Republicans grow a spine and force Trump to back down6) Republicans give in; US descends into dictatorship7) Trump "fires" federal judges, US descends into dictatorship8) Trump impeached and removed9) Trump and Vance impeached and removed10) Military coup11) Civil War 2: Electric BoogalooFor reference, the Trump administration is currently in direct defiance of a federal judge's order to stop the federal funding freeze, after being ordered again on Monday to stop it.https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/02/11/trump-epa-ira-environment-solar-for-all-funding-freeze

We should just ignore what the Supreme Court said about Presidential immunity then, right?

i have an idea for democrats.let judges do everything.

Here we go. Judge ordered the admin to turn around all planes carrying migrants pertaining to the order. Admin refused, saying the judge can't govern planes outside of US airspace. Officially defying court orders right now.Almost forgot... they also deported a doctor whom a justification had explicitly ordered to be brought in to court tomorrow, and they did it after the order had been issued.

The literal only thing that can stop this now is a supermajority of senators credibly threatening voting with democrats to convict on impeachment*The 2nd thing is a violent counterinsurgencyIt might take the threat of the latter to compel the former. I just dont see enough republican politicians on their own deciding that they need to stand up for democracy. * the courts can send goons to jail the people who break the orders but trump will just keep pardoning them. Where do republicans in congress draw the line? And let’s say hypothetically we do even get this supermajority to convict trump and sentence removal— does he step down? Does Vance then pardon trump and he just marches back in like Elon musk?We’re past crisis into singularity— I don’t know if we have any known political physics from stopping trump from doing anything he wants.

12. Trump does not follow the law. Courts rule against him. Maybe impose some sort of enforcement actions or something. Trump ignores that, too. Congress ignores it too, and/or contorts themselves into defending it. 10% of the electorate cheers it on. 10% is apoplectic. The other 80% mostly don't even hear about it, and if they do, a large percentage don't understand how big of a deal it is, think it's his political opponents beating a drum against him and that "they all do shit like this", or maybe would rather him not do things like this, but the other side won't STFU about LatinX trannies, which is clearly a bigger deal.

^I don’t think that will even do it. The current stock market correction is 100% directly tied to trump malfeasance. And trump people are selling this as necessary pain, and maga is buying it. A recent poll had 37% of the country identifying as part of the “MAGA movement”. If someone is identifying themselves this way, I think they’re subconsciously committed to ignoring any violence from trump as long as they’re not the targets. The other thing is that populist fascist policies by definition avoid targeting the majority. If we’re waiting for the majority to feel some sort of direct pain I don’t think that’s happening until things escalate to some sort of martial law scenario, which is too late anyway for any peaceful resolutions.A political pundit here has outlined other ways interactions with state national guards can go south.https://bsky.app/profile/brandonfriedman.bsky.social/post/3lkjq4rlxdk2tI guess the 3rd option is that trump somehow wins over democrats and there’s no actual conflict— we’re just MAGA America now.

Homan: "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're coming."https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lklgjbbqio2wBetween the concentration camp in El Salvador, and trump trying to undo the Biden pardons, seems like we’re deep in a crisis… we essentially have congress and a smattering of courts Vs trump + doj + fbi + ice

students of history:when do the assassinations start during something like this?
3/17/2025 1:36:10 PM
The stock market loves a constitutional crisis!
3/17/2025 2:46:37 PM
lol snewf wants to know about assassinations as he fumes over his stock losses
3/18/2025 7:41:02 AM
to be fair, I'm also fuming over the suspension of habeas corpus, innumerable violations of federal law, and several constitutional rights violationsthe off-shoring of concentration camps is pretty catastrophically bad, toobut, go on, act like things are fine
