    He wasn’t joking, stop pretending he’s anything other than an authoritarian shithead.

      Never too soon or too late, just privilege.
      americans start a war every 5 years.
      Afghanistan and Syria failure just finished, ready for the next one to terrorise Venezuela.

    There’s an adage - the precise phrasing eludes me - that says you should listen to mad authoritarians’ rants because they tell you what they’re going to do.

      Yeah, I guess there were a lot of germans saying: Nah, Hitler ist just ranting about Jews. Do you really think he somehow will get rid of them all? How should this is even work and anyways most of them are rich and powerful.

    The only way he’s halting the elections in 2028 is if he starts a Civil War.

      Even then, there was still an election during the last Civil War.

    Oh, so that’s why he’s threatening my country to clean up the cartels, huh. Just when things are starting to look up for us. I’m gonna have to pay with my future if not with my life because of this dickhead.

    I’m considering joining the military if I’m not too old for it. I may be shedding tears but my rage is bigger than that.

      And also what 2A has been woefully incapable of preventing for all but the first few years of this country’s history.

        I mean, historically black power and workers’ rights movements used it to great effect.

          You mean like when California enacted stricter gun laws to stop the black Panthers from carrying?

            Yes, exactly. If it didn’t work they wouldn’t have tried to stop it.

              I think passing that law just proved that 2A never had any power. And rubbed it in the Panthers’ faces at the same time.

                I mean, rights in general only matter if enough fight for them. We’re seeing this right now with the Fifth and First Amendments; none of this is unique to the Second.

                  Exactly. But all the 2A morons claim it protects the other rights, when it hasn’t. At least not sustainably.

    He was j-o-k-i-n-g, Jesus. You really can’t joke about anything anymore! It’s like you say one thing and everyone forgets this is a man nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Pretty sure he’s not just going to suddenly turn capricious and violent over one little election. Lighten up, people!

      Seriously these libtards have 0 humor. I bet my ass they would lose their shit if he makes just one little joke about raping kids with Epstein on privilege island.
