      Terrorism is to drive change and action through the threat of terror/fear etc.

      He’s not in jail, his blinded followers barely got punished for the severity of their crimes and we are all sitting here talking about if it’s democratic to not put him in the ballot and fucking contemplating the very real prospect of a “one day dictator”

      What other terrorist group has driven so much change in their favor? Do we all think Binladin was maybe on to something? How about ISIS …?

      He is closest to really overthrowing this whole ship, unless maybe we all vote for the oldest president there ever was…

      We are on a knifes edge and it’s fucking horrifying and baffling. This isn’t 2020 we all know the “it will never happen” thoughts of trump getting elected were wrong and we shouldn’t delude ourselves with thinking this will never happen either… The highest court in the land is stacked and taking bribes now openly with no consequences, our past president almost assuredly sold nuclear secrets and still lives and allowed to fuck this whole country… What higher power do you think is soundly going to hold people accountable and uphold the law, cause I don’t see it.

        He’s not in jail,

        Many terrorist leaders are not.

        his blinded followers barely got punished for the severity of their crimes

        Most of the violent offenders were suitably punished. I

        we are all sitting here talking about if it’s democratic to not put him in the ballot

        The best place for terrorists is on the ballot because that reduces their ability to call for violence.

        and fucking contemplating the very real prospect of a “one day dictator”

        Trump has already been president. He wasn’t very good. Certainly not dictator level.

        What other terrorist group has driven so much change in their favor?

        All? I see very little changes. What are MAGA demands for change?

        Do we all think Binladin was maybe on to something? How about ISIS …?

        Totally different league to Trump.

        He is closest to really overthrowing this whole ship,

        He’s already been captain once. He spent the time golfing and watching TV.

        We are on a knifes edge

        The knife has already fallen. Stacking the Supreme Court was the only real damage and that would have happened regardless of the republican candidate.

        What higher power do you think is soundly going to hold people accountable and uphold the law.

        The electorate.
