Yes, this is truly a dangerous threat to democracy in the #USA A counterforce may become necessary if this situation continues through 2024.

Just to be 100% clear;
The story behind what Trump said should be shared as follows:
The *entire* GOP would absolutely, 100%, "terminate the Constitution" in order to allow them to seize permanent, and total, power.
Trump is not an outlier.
A single GOPer will not *condemn* those words.
Because their desire for power and control is unyielding.
We must *make* them yield.

I'm wondering how many in the US military are more liberal, tolerant of of diversity in people, and anti-fascist. In a (very) few countries, the military has actually stepped in to remove an abusive leader and establish a government more amenable to the people. I wish this could have happened in the Trump "presidency" or would happen under a future Republican anti-constitutional dictatorship. #Politics #USA
So Imperial Grand Wizard Trump seems to be saying, ""I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and burn the US Constitution, and I wouldn't lose any voters."
Do you think he's gone too far for the MAGA crowd? I know they're a bunch of morons -- but will he lose any of his base?
Whadaya think?
@TessaForDemocracy I have to confess, with events of the last several years being what they now are, I often wonder why I served and what I was unknowingly enabling. The military is, for better or worse, pretty much conservative, which is scary enough as it is, though I didn't really know that at the time I was active.
‘He’s a Repeat Offender:’ Dems Condemn [DFG]'s Call to Terminate Constitution
Republicans need to "decide whether they're going to break from him and return to some semblance of reasonableness, or continue to lean into the extremism" Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said Sunday
Any or all politicians that are okay with TFG saying to get rid of the rule of law and the constitution don't seem to remember swearing an oath of office to uphold both.
They should be immediately removed from office never to return.
Section 3 of the 14th amendment to that which they won't uphold.
Maybe they need to be sworn in again strapped to a lie detector.

The US Supreme Court #SCOTUS needs a major overhaul and at least four of them (the last three Republican appointed, plus Clarence Thomas) removed — one way or another. An alternative is to appoint four new judges to make 13, corresponding with the number of district courts. But I doubt if this will happen anytime soon. #Politics

My thoughts and feelings are with you … I also fear for America itself …
So, I am Jewish. It was only about 20 yrs ago I was told that because my mom was Jewish, it means I’m full Jewish, even tho I’ve never practiced the faith, I have my dad’s features & have his Scandinavian last name. No one ever knows.
Yet, I can’t help but watch what’s going on with the very real acknowledgement & realization that if these ppl were to see a document w/my mother’s maiden name on it, they would want me dead. It’s just too much to process when thinking about 1939.

"The Supreme Court’s weak Alito defense shows oversight is desperately needed
The justices can't police themselves. It's past time for an independent investigation into 'Operation Higher Court' and the alleged right-wing leak"

There may be a fifth, but who’s counting … 🤔
@kckiper
Me, too!
I’m frustrated tonight. I’m seeing the normalization of bigotry, antisemitism, and hate spreading around the US on multiple sites and social media platforms in the wake of the stories about Ye and Nick Fuentes. The haters are getting more comfortable. They feel at home. I stand with all people who are anxious tonight and sending prayers that words do not turn into worse.
