I just upgraded to a Pixel 6 from Galaxy S8. The Galaxy had a panel that could easily be popped off. I realize this new phone does not. My bad.

I wish I could believe this. I've made the mistake of engaging with them on MSN and it's a full blown Jonestown style cult. They are ready to lose everything for Trump.

Yeah I'm not proud to say it but it's just getting to that point. What other options are there? Just let them destroy the country and when it's finally down to not having food or water, maybe then we fight? Pathetic. The French would already have Paris on fire.

Not possible as long as 90% of the public just need to be told that trans people are evil. I'm sorry man. I'm glad you're optimistic but I'm increasingly convinced this is going to end in violence.

It's not changing minds. They laugh at the cratering stock market and subsequent outrage. They're gonna need something a little more corporeal than a loud protest chant.

Exactly.

A real win is increasingly seeming to require flames.

They aren't changing any Trumpist minds. They just aren't. The stock market could reach zero valuation and theyd still be shilling for Trump.

Pull the battery out?

You're not wrong. We need riots weeks ago.

What negative press? His supporters are all in. They're brigading every online message board and spamming about how this is great for the country.

No thanks.

Mackerel is great too! If you like mackerel you should definitely try some sardines in olive oil. I recommend the King Oscar sardines in olive oil as a easy to acquire starter. The smaller the sardine, the better their flavor and texture tends to be. Bigger sardines tend to get a bit more flaky and mellow in the can.

Wait, being convicted ends political careers? Hitler and Trump wore their convictions with honor and used them to gin up support to great effect. Who's to say Le Pen doesn't somehow do the same?

Well said. We need to unite to counter this stuff. The right is definitely united. Fascism is very attractive to the average voter.

Saltines with sardines, mmmm.

Yeah, you're not wrong, that's another path. Full blown authoritarianism.

Yes, exactly. They used Medvedev as an example.

They've already installed a guy that hasn't been vetted and cleared that is tearing out the guts of our government at his whimsy and without oversight. They're breaking the law in egregious ways and getting away with it in real time. There is only one way left to hold these people accountable.

Just heard an interview on BBC radio this morning with an American explaining that there are avenues for Trump to do this by abusing the line of succession. It sounds like they want to appoint him as Speaker of the House and then have the president and vice president abdicate.
