What's Left For Krasnov To Realistically Be A Dictator [View all]

He owns the legislative branch.

He stacks the courts with people who are only loyal to him and if honest courts rule against him he always has his partisan Supreme Court to make it right. Also, if a court rules against him he just ignores the decision.

He is slowly turning us into a militarized state. Generals will resign rather than speak out against him and take a stand. He has Gestapo all across the country with more power than state and local police.

He is gutting our institutions, defunding them, firing good honest people.

When Putin invaded Ukraine, his plan was to take over Kyiv and replace Zelenskyy with a pro-Russian crony who would eventually become dictator. When he invaded Crimea he gained control there by holding a bogus election where he stuffed the ballot boxes.

Krasnov and his cronies have been rigging elections for decades, with his use of AI to gerrymander he can make it impossible for Democrats to win the House. With voter suppression, tossing Democratic voters off voting rolls, removing thousands of voting machines in Democratic districts, and numerous other tactics he is getting closer to making elections irrelevant.

We still have the blue states you say. What's to stop a dictator from arresting Democratic governors and replacing them with fascists?

Project 2025 is way ahead of schedule and that's why I can't stand to watch Democratic strategists explain on TV what Democrats need to do 14 months from now. We need to fight now. I f Gavin Newsom can draw maps to gain more than 5 seats then he should do that. What are the plans for other Democratic states? Magats will not stop with gerrymandering Texas.

Democrats better start thinking outside the box and not following the old practice of believing that throwing money at the election to get Democrats elected will work this time around.

Democratic voters are ready to fight and we need more leaders to lead us. Gavin Newsom and a handful of others are not enough. Time to fight now.

Want to know why the Democratic party is polling low? When there was an opening for a Dem to be the Democratic leader of the Oversight committee, the first time AOC was voted down, the 2nd time Jasmine Crockett finished last in the voting.
