The USA has about 60 days to save itself. Do we have the guts to do what is necessary? [View all]

And by that I mean if Trump is allowed to take office, the USA and the free world are finished. Russia will eventually take Ukraine and, from there, with the approval of Trump, will move on to Western Europe. Trump said a few months ago that "Putin should do whatever the hell he wants." And with the aid of Trump's administration, he will.

With Trump and MAGA controlling the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, there would be NOTHING to stop America's Hitler from doing everything and anything he wants. He will appoint even more MAGA (Supreme) Court justices. He will further fill the ranks of judgeships all over the country with MAGA loyalists. There will be no place to turn. And anyone who thinks the country will turn on him in 2028 is a naive fool. There is no reason to believe there will ever be a free and fair election in this country again if Trump is allowed to take office. As you know, he already said if you vote for him now, you won't have to bother voting ever again because they'll have things fixed.

Would Germany and the world have been better off if the original Hitler had been stopped in 1933 instead of in 1945 after a second world war?

Make no mistake. Project 2025 and more will destroy any semblance of a US democracy. Trump will jail anyone he wants for any reason, and there will be no one to stop him. He'a already said Liz Cheney and General Milley should be put before a firing squad. Do you really think those are just words?

Not since the first Civil War has the United States faced a threat of such magnitude. And unless Biden uses his authority as president to stop Trump before he gets started, the United States will fall onto the trash heap of history.

MAGA said there would be war if Trump lost. Well, unless there is war now, unless Biden uses every tool at his disposal--yes, including as commander in chief--then all will be lost and the only way to get our country back will still be war . . . only then it will be incrementally more difficult because Trump and MAGA will hold all the cards.

So what'll it be? Are we gonna fight--I mean really fight--to save our country, or are we going to hand it over to domestic terrorists? Is Biden going to be Churchill or Chamberlain? That's where we are, like it or not.
