Elections What does threat to democracy mean?

[Deleted member 592570]

well yes he probably could, but it's pretty obvious he wants to create laws that he can then say they broke.

Oh lord. Ok bro, have fun with the conspiracy theories.

That's kind of the point of creating a law.

 

[Bob Sagat]

it means being able to oust the sitting president of the united states in the 11th hour and shift all your delegates to another puppet without there being a fair democratic primary in an attempt to cynically wrangle your party into voting the way you want them to

 

[heloder]

Should this be my reaction?

I don't think anybody here actually expects you to be outraged at anything Trump has ever, or will ever do. We kind of expect you to be a servile apologist, which is a role you're doing a fine job living up to.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

Oh lord. Ok bro, have fun with the conspiracy theories.

it's literally word-for-word what he said. i don't think he'll be capable of it so i don't think it'll happen. but it's quite literally what he said.

That's kind of the point of creating a law.

well right. except the laws he wants to create are "you can't teach kids about americas history of discrimination" and "you can't be a radical leftist"

Yeah, fuck reading what I actually said and just label me however you picture me in your little brain. Let’s just pretend I didn’t write this on the previous page:

“while I'm glad Trump won last night I hate the fact that he's the best that the conservatives could come up with and I don't like the clown world we live in at the moment.”

Yeah that doesn't change the fact that you're a servile apologist, as proven with your other post on the previous page...

That said, it's still not something I give a shit about if I'm honest

He attempted to overturn the election to stay in power and your response is..."it's not something I give a shit about".

Are you honestly going to say that and then sit here and pretend that you actually have any principles?

 

[Legendary]

That's the second time you've called me that and for the second consecutive reply, while I have not hurled any insults at you whatsoever. I know you think you're saying something about me, but instead you're really saying a lot about yourself.

You can't play both sides. You can't vote for the rapist treasonist who constantly insults everone and anything that criticizes him and then on the other hand get mad on a forum when someone calls you out for what you are. Thats snowflake bullshit, but typical from a Trump supporter. People like you have been brainwashed into voting for someone who doesn't even reflect conservative values, you have no integrity.

Trump could whip his dick out and smack you in the face with it and you would still vote for him.

When folks on the left talk about Republicans being a "threat to democracy," what does that mean exactly? It seems like when people vote for someone other than a Democrat, it's a "threat to democracy." But when people vote for their preferred candidate in fair elections, isn't that democracy? Kamala being selected vs. elected as the Dem nominee is the only recent example of an undemocratic process that I can see.

I'm going to defend the dems on this one. The shit Trump pulled in 2020 was an attempt to subvert democracy

Are you honestly going to say that and then sit here and pretend that you actually have any manner of principles?

No, I'm gonna sit here and tell you that the choice is between David Berkowitz and Jeffrey Dahmer, and both are gonna kill me, but one is just gonna shoot me dead, the other is gonna fuck my corpse than eat it.

So yeah, my response to "but he's a criminal" is "sure, but the other guys are worse criminals".

I'm pretty sure both are lying to me, but at least his lies have some respect for my intelligence and are not as blatantly obvious. He's not telling me men can get pregnant, and that I'm a racist if I say we should ignore race, or that there shouldn't be a border, and all the other incoherent nonsense. So yeah, he's the lesser of two evils in my opinion and I've already seen him do it for 4 years and he did none of the stuff they all said he would, in fact he did a better job than both Biden and Obama.

If you read my reply and think I was mad or triggered by it you're not very perceptive.

It's a threat to democracy to point out that an obviously rigged election (2020) was rigged.

It was (mail vote), but that should have been addressed before the election. You can't wait for everyone to vote and then ask for the mail ballots to be tossed.

 

[heloder]

I've already seen him do it for 4 years and he did none of the stuff they all said he would, in fact he did a better job than both Biden and Obama.

Hillary Clinton in 2016 said he would refuse to admit defeat and try to remain in power. And then he did exactly that. Before he took office people said he didn't give a shit about the lower and middle classes and that he would give huge tax cuts to his ultra wealthy buddies. And he did exactly that. He bragged about building a border wall and making Mexico pay for it. Everybody said Mexico wouldn't pay for it, and again, Mexico didn't pay for it. Like "they all" said.

"They" called his whole damn presidency.

And what did he do better than Biden and Obama? Are you even old enough to remember when Obama took office? He inherited two unwinnable wars and the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression. Look at his economic numbers by the time he left office. He brought unemployment down 6 points, and if you recall, we avoided another depression. Oh and he wasn't a massive cunt whose administration was riddled with scandals, impeachments, and a revolving door cabinet. And need I mention the 2020 election again?

Why are you even pretending to know anything when by your own admission you weren't even aware of the fake elector scheme which was one of the biggest scandals in the history of the office?

I said I didn’t know much about that specific case which is far from not knowing anything.

As For why that doesn’t make me as outraged as it does you apparently, I guess it’s probably because I grew up in a communist dictatorship so when you tell me that some politician is corrupt or he bribed the judge or whatever that shit doesn’t even make me flinch. But when you start talking to me about policing speech, changing definitions of words, and being forced to say what I don’t believe to be true, then self preservation mechanisms kicks into high gear for me.

Lols, okay bro..

Thats the point. Trumps messaging is designed to play on those fears. Every reason you just listed is also demonstrably false.

 

[KaNesDeath]

Is it? What’s your view on mutilating children?

This continues the previous point. You cant formulate an actual expansion of thought. So you move on to another topic that affects 0.004% of children yearly.

So 12,000 mutilated American kids every year is insignificant to you? I should fucking care less about that then Trump bribing some judge or whatever the fuck you’re going on about?

Oh that's even better! So you knew something about him trying to subvert our democracy, but didn't feel that it was important enough to actually educate yourself about it before coming into this thread and making asinine statements about how "Democrats did the same thing!". You don't even know what the fuck Trump did and you're making those claims? And then when called out for being an apologist you get exposed for not actually even know what the fuck criminal cases were filed against him.

Just so you're aware, it is possible to not comment on a topic if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. If you follow this sage advice you may not get absolutely bodied in these threads like you have here.

Jesus fucking christ people are stupid.

Again, I already told you, I don’t give a fuck if he bribed some judge or hid some piece of paper when the other side is pushing for child mutilation and discrimination based on skin colour, so fuck you and your bodying, you tell me how you justify that before you fucking ask me about some stupid shit I couldn’t care less about.
