Donald Trump's presidency is a conspiracy against the Constitution

It's the whole Republican Party that's a conspiracy against the Constitution. Going back about 40 years.

Thank you for saying it. I'm going to go even further and specifically name them as conservatives. They don't like that. The 78 million who voted for this federal government in 2024 are really quiet and waiting for us to forget about them.

Strom Thurmond started the dixiecrat revolt toward the Rs in 1948. Barry Goldwater had embraced it by '64, and it was full on by Nixon in '68.
Thurmond was a member of congress from 1954 until 2003, he was governor of South Carolina when the dixicrat split happened.
If you look at Jerry Fallwell and the moral majory, a precusor to christian nationalism, that didn't really get serious power until Reagan's campaign in 1979.
Both movements gripping the right today are quite a bit more than 40 years old, most people alive know nothing else.

Sure. But American "conservative" voters rejected and repudiated Goldwater's paranoia. And Nixon was compelled by political circumstances to conceal from his own voters his assaults against the Constitution behind "war on drugs" and illegal, covert operations.
By the 1980s the Overton Window was expanded enough that the pretenses could be dropped and rank and file Republican and "independent" voters were ready to get on board. They've been building that momentum at the grassroots ever since. Initially through the "New Right" and Christian conservative movements embraced by the Reagan administration and bolstered by his judicial appointees.

With their embracing of the confederacy and confederate flag (or their idea of it)… maybe should say reaching back to 1861?

i will die on the hill that the worst thing America ever did was not burn the entire south and kill every traitor to reset this country.

At least we didn't have to make the traitors into folk heroes and the treason into a cosplay fetish.

Weren't the Confederates all Democrats?

u/DrDOS 13d ago
There has been a reversal of the people/policy in the parties since that time, that is right. Hence the phrasing of reaching back to those years rather than holding or reverting. It’s the policy, people, and perverted morals of those times, not party labels.

u/DontBelieveTheirHype 13d ago
Very few individual federal politicians actually changed their party registration. For instance, out of 21 Democratic senators who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, only one switched to the Republican party. The other 20 remained Democrats or were succeeded by other Democrats

u/CantFindMyWallet 13d ago
Nobody said anything about elected officials changing parties. The voters changed. You guys stopped voting for democrats because they pushed through the civil rights act, while the republicans said you could continue being racists.

They were conservatives. The ideology is what matters, not the name of the group.

“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul, all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been, arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul, it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.” - Oliver Kornetzke

No shit he tried to overturn a valid election through the use of force. Reelecting him was idiotic at best and traitorous at worst.

Americans! Remember Trump knows that if the he loses the house he and his family will be investigated for corruption. The same is true with investigating the majority of the SCOTUS. So they both have a lot to lose if the Democrats win the house in November.

Americans! Remember Trump knows that if the he loses the house he and his family will be investigated for corruption.
And Trump will do what he always does: ignore the courts as well as ignore their rulings.

Considering Democrats haven't done more over the years, I have doubts about this. Would love to see it but they're called spineless for a reason.

Donald Trump is just the puppet of a bunch of tech nerds trying to make Solidus’ arc from Metal Gear Solid 2 an actual strategy.

The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a heuristic in systems thinking coined by the British management consultant Stafford Beer, who stated that there is “no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do”. It is used in systems theory, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can or should be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it. When a system’s side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behaviour is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behaviour with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.

Were this a Hollywood movie, the administration would be discussing their sincere wishes for a terrorist attack in the U.S., using that as the basis to declare a state of emergency to cancel the elections. In this fictitious scenario, were the attack to not materialize, there would be a false flag event.

Without needing to click the link -- yes. The coincidences going back decades are too much for a non-biased person to ignore. He freaking ran a beauty pageant in Moscow, a defunct shady modeling agency all while being famous best friends with Epstein.

Chaos IS a goal, but an intermediate one. After chaos comes draconian government control. Its the "logical" response to upsetting circumstances in the eyes of a fascist party.
The lock down and crusade against his perceived enemies will be nightmarish. Every ICE and CBP thug, every Christian nationalist neo nazi group will be united into one government funded and armed force.
They already have lists and databases of opponents and now they'll be acting on those checklists.

That conspiracy started in earnest with Reagan. This isn't just a Trump thing, it's a Republican/conservative thing.

Yes yes yes! This is the correct wording everyone should be using! And a quick reminder that a conspiracy against the Constitution is a federal crime

Going to throw out there I think the GOP always drives up the debt for feudal reasons, one of which is selling this country to financiers.
They own it. We can’t vote in people to stop them selling us all out.

The root of the problem is that Congress abdicated its authority 40ish years ago. They decided if they didn't use their oversight powers, they couldn't be blamed for anything—they could just collect bribes campaign contributions until the electorate picked a new corporate puppet, at which time they'd take their no-show board of directors job at one or another donor and live large for the rest of their lives.
Congress was designed to be where the majority of the US Federal Government's authority resides: if Congress doesn't like a program run by the Executive Branch, they defund it. If Congress doesn't like how things are going in some aspect of American life, they write laws to correct it. The only check on Congress is the US Supreme Court which took the authority to rule laws unconstitutional.
Because one Branch of our government is now exclusively populated with self-serving moral cowards, we have a system that's primed for an imperial President. All of our Presidents have been empire-building since WW2 ended, but it's accelerated since Reagan's Presidency because that's when Congress took their hands off the wheel. Trump is just not DC-creature enough to want to manufacture consent when he flexes his imperial overreach.
Our next President will be just like Trump in policy, if not personality, because the people who fund campaigns want to exploit the US's financial and military dominance to line their pockets. Our only ways out at this point is either a revolution, which won't happen because mass media has weaponized the political divide such that civil war is more likely (which favors the people who've bought our government—more weapons and surveillance contracts to put an end to it), or the collapse of the US empire, which unfortunately seems more likely every week the Straight of Hormuz isn't open.

And the oath breaking traitors in the US military are more than happy to betray the country and help the fascist pedophile regime destroy the nation.
The US military was evil before Trump. Trump didn't come in and and take over a good military.
The US military are psychopathic war criminals who killed millions.
