I've been afraid to post this. I've been afraid to think it.

We need to prepare for the possibility that Trump succeeds. There are more people in this country than we realize who would be happy if he did. There are more people surrounding him than we appreciate working toward that outcome. We haven't seen the end of what he can get away with. We haven't since the day he took office.

1. Karl Rove doesn't even think that will happen.

9. Shocking. TY!

[applegrove]

16. Yup.

[ecstatic]

22. Is it to give us a false sense of security? So we do nothing as

trump stacks the pentagon with yes-men? Also, it's hard to ignore General McCaffrey's warning today. He's concerned.

2. Please, get a grip

[Dorian Gray]

3. Nah....

He's done. Freaking out about it on our parts won't change anything. He's inept and the people surrounding him are inept. Even if he were willing to try to subvert the will of the people, he wouldn't know how to actually do it.

4. Just stop. nt

[mtnsnake]

20. Why should they just stop? Not only are they entitled to their opinion like everyone else,

but they have a valid concern.

[Phoenix61]

21. Because it's baseless fear mongering. nt

[Rustynaerduwell]

23. A month ago, saying Trump might win was baseless fear mongering

and yet less than 70,000 votes in three states prevented it. We were that close to repeating 2016.

[mtnsnake]

24. 5 years ago if anyone on this forum went around posting that we better become prepared for

the possibility that Trump could stand a good chance to win the presidency, that poster would probably have been accused of fear mongering as well.

[treestar]

34. Winning the election, while unexpected

was in the realm of the possible. Dump lost this election. Very different situation.

[cwydro]

36. Yes, I quit posting for awhile in 2016 because I expressed my "concern" that he might win.

Many of us were attacked for that.

[Cha]

6. Sorry.. I'm not afraid to trash this.

[mtnsnake]

7. Are you sure you didn't mean that we need to prepare for the possibility that Trump secedes?

rather than succeeds?

Seriously, though, I don't think you are at all wrong to worry about such a possibility, remote as it is, and it is better to be prepared for anything that can happen than not to be prepared.

[leftyladyfrommo]

32. Maralago could be a separate country where all the

DEPLORABLES go to bow down and pray to their creator.

[blogslut]

8. We got many days ahead of us, this is true

I'm far from ready to give up. I hope you fight as well.

[soothsayer]

10. If you're on twitter here's a comforting thread

Link to tweet

?s=21 (nice long thread)

[LizBeth]

11. Ya? No. You are wrong.

[Dem2]

12. No

Stop.

[SlogginThroughIt]

13. I agree.

We had a supreme court pick stolen from us and we did nothing. We had 200 federal judge appointments taken from is and we did nothing. They will do whatever we allow them to get away with.

[SlogginThroughIt]

14. We let them put kids in cages.

We let them collude with a sworn enemy of the united states.

[Hekate]

27. No, "we" did not. Every step of the way there were US citizens objecting like hell...

...We were donating to groups on behalf of cages children and abused immigrants, showing up at airports to offer aid to Muslims, marching, voting, screaming. Joining with Black Lives Matter despite being white. This entire Spring and Summer Washington DC, Portland, and other cities were flooded with people of all colors protesting for BLM, enduring gas, beatings, and rubber bullets.

So no, “we” did not “let” them do any of the shit they did. Stop repeating that nonsense.

They had the Senate, the White House, and a malice like none we have ever seen before. They moved so fast it took my breath away.

Almost half this country seems to be really okay with authoritarianism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and school shootings. Fascism. That is really horrifying.

But more than half the country keeps voting Democratic. We have a severe problem getting our people into office — but we are the majority, and never forget that.

[SlogginThroughIt]

38. So when the shit hits the fan

We will simply donate to someone to figure it out for us.Or we will gather together and say bad things about them. That’ll show them.


We (including me) let kids sit in cages.

[StarfishSaver]

37. We"let" them collude and put kids in cages when we let the GOP take control of Congress

And we did that when too many Democrats refused to go out and vote for Democrats in 2010, 2014, and 2016 - and when certain of us just couldn't bring themselves to support Hillary because she made a speech on Wall Street or didn't inspire them enough.

[Hekate]

28. What exactly were "we" supposed to do? How exactly do "we" oppose judge appointments...

...when it is happening legally? What exactly are “we” supposed to do when we have a minority in the Senate?

You do know it is not some magic thing by which McConnell gets his shit done, right? He is evil and malicious and corrupt, but what he does in the Senate he does because he leads the MAJORITY. And the majority makes the rules.

[Kaleva]

15. If that is truly what you fear, then you'd be prepared already. What are you preparations?

If you haven't made any, then I find it hard to believe you think this will come to pass.

It's human nature to respond with vigor to a situation we think dire. It's also human nature to do little to nothing in response to a situation that poses no threat.

[ancianita]

17. You're afraid because you haven't looked at the numbers that would clarify who you're talking about.

Go to the front page search page, type into it the key words of your claims, then read those discussions.

We'll agree that we haven't seen the end, but we're prepared to fight this out, not just sit back and take a technical knockout. Don't forget, 45 is 0 for 12 so far.

Those other claims you say "we" did nothing about? Those were structural problems, not "we" problems.

[Rorey]

18. The biggest concern I have

The biggest concern I have is what kind of damage OrangeLoser may try to do while throwing this asinine hissy fit he's been throwing. He WILL be leaving the WH in January, if not sooner. He lost. Period.

He's an embarrassment to himself and to everyone who still supports him. They just don't know it yet.

[OnDoutside]

29. THIS, and the evidence/Documentation his cronies are destroying.

[sheshe2]

19. No.

Breathe.

[mvd]

25. He won't succeed

No one wants Civil War, and him overturning results would cause one.

[mvd]

26. Well maybe Dump and the most extreme want one

But there aren’t enough of them.

[JI7]

30. How do you want to prepare ? What is it that you want to do ?

[obamanut2012]

31. trashing

Stop scaring these people.

[treestar]

33. There are more people who voted for Biden

than voted for Dump.

[kcr]

35. Oh, please
