Trump fans raise hands, cheer in support of him being "day one dictator"
Trump recently pledged to only be a dictator on "day one" of his hypothetical second term as president.

We should pick one candidate to all vote for in the Republican primaries.
There's no Democratic primaries this year and we're stuck with Biden. We don't have to be stuck with Trump as his opponent. If someone else wins the Republican primary, Trump will run as a third party candidate and split the fascist vote.
And it doesn't matter which one. Any non-Trump nominee will drag down Trump and vice versa. I'd suggest whoever comes in second in Iowa, just because they're the most likely to have any momentum at all.
I agree. I think every single non-Trumper in this country should vote for Chris Christie in the primary. He is the least dangerous candidate, it will piss off Trump the most if Christie is the nominee, and you can guarantee it will mean a third party run for Trump. Seems like a net win all around.
Can you imagine the pucker and about-face the Republican party would have to do if CC were the nominee?
Edit: I'll do it. It's legal in Michigan and I'm an independent anyway, allowed to vote in either primary I choose. Why shouldn't I vote to nominate the Republican that I think would be the best to lead the country from those options?
It would be truly glorious to watch all these ball-coddlers have to tuck tail and try to save their own asses from their knuckle-dragging constituents.
Why shouldn’t I vote to nominate the Republican that I think would be the best to lead the country from those options?
I mean... you absolutely should! Not even just to "sabotage" Trump. That's just a good idea in general.
Honestly, it’s pretty fucked up that chris christie is the “sane” vote for “sane “ conservatives.
Like he’s not exactly a paragon of integrity, or good governance.
It’s for sure a low bar to clear
Some (many?) states have closed Republican primaries. In the states you can only participate if you are a registered republican.
Which is exactly why I'm registered as Republican.
Could you be registered as both?
Nope, at least not in my state. And registering as independent, like I would rather do, means not getting to vote in either primary.
I appreciate that my state doesn't have people register with a party at all. We are all technically independents and we can vote in whichever primary we choose (Washington).
So then just register as a Republican and vote.
Or one of the losers from the primary could run as an independent and peel off just enough fascist votes....if any of them had a speck of real patriotism, they would do it.
Maybe Liz Cheney should run...
Maybe Liz Cheney should run…
The only thing that may be standing between us and fascism may be the Cheney family political dynasty. What bleak times we inhabit.
I swear I will never again complain that things are too boring. If the world is boring from 2024 onwards I will consider that a significant blessing.
Yes!!! Been saying this for a long time. In a two party system, the power of we the people is in deciding which primary to vote in. If we defeat Trump in the primaries we defeat him period.
It's funny that more people don't realize that's what they should do. If you're going to be lead by a person from party X, Y or Z, you should go and choose who that person will be for all parties (if you can) so that you at least tried to get the person you prefer no matter who gets elected.
