    Letting him run will result in him being president or him attempting a coup.

    There is no other option if we let him run. There will be carnage one way or another. He has made this abundantly clear.

    If we throw his ass in jail, we can easily quell the MAGA crowd’s attempt at some kind of response to that.

      To even question this is fucking stupid. He didn’t even agree with the results of the election he won!

      Are people this amnesiac? Are microplastics destroying our brains?

        Run? Sure, but can he be inaugurated and serve from prison!? That would be a first…

      Attempting a coup is much harder with an opponent on the executive branch. The only reason the last one was close was because Trump was sandbagging the response. The only way one succeeds now is if the military facilitates the coup, aggressively, IMO.

        Tbf, that was the case when he’s president, too.

        Our commanding officers protect the constitution, not the president or any person.

      Yes. The orange fascist needs to be locked up. As much as I’m against genocide, I’m still ridin with Biden.
