Yup. As long as the Supreme Court is controlled by an ultra-conservative majority it’s game over. They ultimately decide America’s trajectory. And this election basically cemented that majority for the rest of our lives.
definitely sucks right now, but this could spur Supreme Court reform or election reform, Trump could get convicted or impeached on one of the many cases he has coming up, he could die, he could fully go dementia, you’d have Vance, but he does not have the same selfish appeal that dumps does.
The US might be lost, but I doubt it.
I don’t think this is the worst timeline. there are way worse timelines.
in one timeline that Russian sergeant or whatever didn’t stop his commanding submarine officer from shooting a nuke in retaliation from a false radar reading and starting World War III to 50 years ago.
and then another Russian co-pilot didn’t stop his co-pilot from shooting a nuke in retaliation from a false radar reading The captured some geese.
I mean that’s two times we got pretty big reprieves in this timeline.

Even under the best circumstances reforming the SC would be extremely unlikely because it would require a super majority. Same with election reform. Our government, in its entirety, will now be run by extremists who literally ran on deconstructing our government and replacing it with something in their image. The way our government has worked our entire lives is likely over.

Trump is effectively king now. SC made him immune to any and all prosecution while president. Laws only work if the will of the people make them work. The majority of Americans just crowned a king. They aren’t going to make those laws work. You will not see justice for Trump’s crimes now. That possibility is gone.
he could die, he could fully go dementia,
Doesn’t matter. He will be replaced and nothing about this timeline will change.
I don’t think this is the worst timeline. there are way worse timelines.
I mean, obviously. But considering the two timelines we had an option to be on, we chose the worst. And it’s going to be very, very bad for average Americans.
At least certain courts may interpret “official duty” differently…
doesn’t really matter while the Supreme Court has a conservative majority, unfortunately.
Yup. As long as the Supreme Court is controlled by an ultra-conservative majority it’s game over. They ultimately decide America’s trajectory. And this election basically cemented that majority for the rest of our lives.
We just placed ourselves on the worst timeline.

“Even under the best circumstances reforming the SC would be extremely unlikely”
No, under the best circumstances it would be extremely likely.
Roberts, Thomas et al would keel over from heart attacks, Trump would have an attack of conscience and elect compassionate, wise judges.
or Hakeem Jeffr ies is persuasive than Trump and everyone commits to Court reform.
“now be run by extremists who literally ran on deconstructing our government and replacing it with something in their image.”
they’ll certainly try.
there’s just too much historical evidence going against your theory of defeatist inevitability/futility.
“The way our government has worked our entire lives is likely over.”
this has happened uncountable times throughout just US history, but especially recently when the president was afforded absolutely legal immunity.
I’d say that decision was more ultimately significant than Trump being elected.
“SC made him immune to any and all prosecution while president”
many of dumps past, current and upcoming cases definitively do not have to do with his presidency and occurred outside of his presidency completely.
“Laws only work if the will of the people make them work.”
not really. Trump didn’t get fined $100 million and lose two court cases solely because of the will of the people.
he went to court because of the legal system, and he lost those legal battles three times recently.
“The majority of Americans just crowned a king.”
a chubsy jester, but sure.
“You will not see justice for Trump’s crimes now. That possibility is gone.”
already seen it a few times, probably going to see it again.
“Doesn’t matter. He will be replaced and nothing about this timeline will change.”
this is ridiculous and has zero evidence to support it.
dumps is the zealot catalyst here, the person in the seat pretending to fellate and stroke microphones is very important.
If you don’t understand that, then your entire realistic perspective is foundationally flawed.
“I mean, obviously.”
that this is not the worst timeline was obvious to me.
you claimed the literal opposite statement, that this was in fact the worst timeline, in the previous comment.
“But considering the two timelines we had an option to be on…”
you believe in timelines, but you believe there are only two at any specific moment?
bullet 2 inches left
Hilary doesn’t steal Sanders’ nomination.
5/4 decisions go four-five.
expand your mind.
“it’s going to be very, very bad for average Americans.”
oh yeah. almost all Americans. but you know they voted for it so…
blocking the bike path for everyone else, too.
