Y’know like a real revolution to overthrow a tyrannical government with overwhelming numbers by far.

    Legal Eagle has a video that explains what kinds of things Trump can do without legal consequences.

    Seems to me, that if he wants to replicate the events of Tianamen Square on American soil, he can totally do that, and it’s entirely within his legal rights to do so.

    Also, check the comments of that video. Chilling stuff.

      Before trump was president i always thought president of the US is kinda like being the king of the Netherlands. More like a symbol that has to decide on some things and talks to people. Learning that they can actually just do whatever they want and americans just shrug is kinda fucking insane and terrifying for all the sane people on this planet.

        Seems like he is gradually sliding towards being a medieval king or a dictator. In England, that sort of thing was limited in 1215 and the rest of Europe followed in the next centuries. However, Mussolini showed that even in a democratic state it’s always possible to make history repeat itself.
