    Why do people think this is just 4 years? Trump made it clear when he said this is the last time people would have to vote if he won

      Trump is wrong a lot and lies a lot, I don’t believe anything he says and you shouldn’t either

      Besides, acting like there is going to be another election (e.g. talking to likeminded people and trying to organize political coalitions) will prepare us better to deal with the alternative scenarios

        That’s how everyone has dismissed him. Project 2025 for example “oh he won’t do that.” And now most of his appointees and what not are full mask off supporters and will implement project 2025.

        Stop shilling for trump and start understanding he means what he says

          Fair points, maybe I could have put this better. I’m not saying he won’t try, I’m saying we shouldn’t make it easy for him by conceding that he’ll actually be able to succeed.

              That’s a really complicated question that’s going to depend on what he’s trying to do, but it’s never going to be any one thing, it’s going to be a combination of using legislative procedure and longshot lawsuits to slow things down where we can, having conversations with our families and neighbors about how Trump is fucking up and driving Trump’s popularity down, and some amount of finding workarounds for social problems that don’t require government involvement (e.g. private abortion funds, mutual aid networks, etc).
