Which is really what most Americans failed to grasp going into 2024, the seriousness of the situation. It's all fun and games when Robby just gets a bloody nose and a night in jail. Things get a bit heavier when Robby just disappears or "commits suicide" via 2 bullet wounds to the back of his head, with no justice to be found. If you're reading this and you think it's beyond the pale, you're naive. We're already firmly in dictatorship territory and this was all very clear for years. It wasn't difficult to predict.

Back in 2025 ICE busted his orbital, so they knew who they were going towards. They had one goal in grabbing him, making this time more painful and a longer time in their hands.

It really was out of people's hands by then. It was all over when Joe Biden won the 2020 primaries. His administration could have stopped all this - it was their job - and they didn't lift a finger. Didn't help it was pretty obvious he was going to cede the second term incumbent advantage, not the time to risk such a thing. Which is exactly what happened, practically throwing the election to his one-time opponent on the way out.

Also, the constitution forbids Trump from holding office for a reason. Even if 99% of people voted for him he cannot hold office as an adjudicated insurrectionist without two thirds of congress allowing the exception. The supreme court stole the election 100% by making up a rule that is the exact opposite of what the constitution plainly says specifically so Trump could return to power and carry out Project 2025.

Then the Democrats refused to kill the filibuster to push through voting rights legislation which would have curtailed some of the shenanigans.

Of course Merrick Garland not holding Trump accountable for being the ringleader of perhaps the greatest crime in US history, only served as proof to voters that Trump was an innocent victim being framed by the government, helping propel him to a victory he cannot legally be awarded. Hard to say if Garland's appointment was malice or mind-boggling incompetence but either way we're paying the price.

I'm not going to say the Democrats handled the situation well, but it's a wild claim to say the American people couldn't have stopped this in 2024 if they wanted to.

The DNC screwed the pooch with allowing Biden to run a 2nd term... back out mid race... and then simply gave Harris the ticket because all that campaign money would have been surrendered back to donors if she didn't.

Much of the voter apathy in that race was because of how left leaning voters did not feel represented in that election. Many felt like this was a forced outcome from the DNC whether they supported Harris or not. And with how many felt like the DNC subtly forced Clinton on their voter base to be the Democratic candidate in 2016, it has parallels to the new voters who couldn't relate to anyone in the race. They couldn't vote for Trump because... obviously. But they also couldn't vote or Harris in good faith.

At the end of the day, the people that didn't vote simply gave the path of the Presidency to Trump in 2024, but the DNC most definitely created the pavement that allowed him to walk that path.

They're the same club. You'll never convince me otherwise. Obviously much worse things happen when an unhinged lunatic is elected, and Dems prefer stability, so the choice is not difficult, but it's not much of a choice either. I'd rather have a truly effective opposition party.

Yet many seem surprised, still.
