    I really want this to happen, if only to ruin all of the “47th president” merchandise being made

        It sounds great until you realise that they’d all just buy new merch, funnelling more money to Trump.

          I don’t think you’re getting it. Trumpers will buy merch no matter what.

          The idea is to wait until they have made enough “POTUS 47” merch, and then make Harris the 47th president just for a little bit.

          Now all the Trump merch is wrong.

    More importantly, it would ruin all the Trump 47 merch in one fell swoop.

        What could go wrong, except you throw fuel on a fire of hatred, and give the right reason to believe she will refuse to step down, causing well, who knows. I’m going to say that would ups the odds of arrests of democratic officials and citizens killed/insured/domestic terrorism what not.

    The real power move would be to, as a newly protected official presidential act, take Trump out and trigger the need for another election.

    All it would take is a strategically deployed covfefe hamberder.

        My understanding is the VP elect has no power until after inauguration, but if that’s not the case, just include the VP elect and Speaker as line items on the order.

        Wouldn’t be too much extra effort to deploy a tactical sofa and bible.

          I’m not entirely sure what you actually mean by this, but the image just popped into my brain of trump immediately bursting into flames on contact with the bible, and Vance being unable to control his urge to fuck a couch for the next 3 months

            The bible would be for Speaker Johnson, and there’s probably a better vector available for him, but your visualisation can equally be considered canon.

      Why do people continually push the idea that a democrats official acts are protected?

      They are not.

      The Supreme Court decides what an “official act” is, and they most certainly will not decide a democratic president acts as “official.”

      Actually, you know what? This is a great example as to why america is headed the way it is.

      People are far too stupid to understand the politics they indulge in.

        1. I’m not American.
        2. None of this is serious, and anyone mistaking it as such should be summarily ignored and ridiculed.

            The American population, actively and resoundingly choosing fascism, should exclusively be understood that they don’t want to be taken seriously by others.

            We can only legitimately begin reevaluating this position once they cease capitulating to fear, hate, and wilful ignorance.

    at this point in genuinely not sure if America is ready to elect a woman or a minority any time soon

    obama’s run was fantastic though. mitt romney had the charisma of an urinal cake

    don’t think I’ll live long enough to see something like that happen again

      I’d take a term of Mitt Romney over Trump. At least he

      • had respect for the office
      • could articulate sentences in a clear manor
      • had a plan, and could explain it
      • wasn’t a convicted felon/rapist
      • had decorum in discourse/debates

      I am far less inclined to vote for a woman in the primaries after this. Even though I voted twice for a woman in the general. It’s just a losing strategy in this country.

    The hardcore supporters wouldn’t be bothered. They’re interested in the future of America (which they hope to be as racist and bigoted in general as they are), not the present.

    I’d like to imagine this but I’m too disappointed. I think it’s pretty naive to hope anyone is looking out for us. Everyone is out for themselves, so make sure you can talk without the picture watching.
