The Rules
Posts must be:

Is that the legit reason? I mean, in the times I grew up in, I would assume you're being dramatic to prove a point.
But it's 2024......the absurd is reality. What you said has just as real of a chance at being true as anything else with these people.
Trump is over here talking about using the American military against American citizens for being against him. Meanwhile republican voters are in pure denial that he would ever do that, despite him saying so. Word for word. AND he has attempted to do exactly that in the past.
So I don't have the luxery of being able to use common sense to dismiss things as being not credible to be reality. We live in the dumbest timeline. You could make up any dumb shit, and I have no way of dismissing it as being too dumb to be real.
"Hey, Trump just shot Kamala Harris with a gun on stage at a debate"
And the ONLY thing that makes that stand out as obviously false is the fact that trump is too scared to debate now.
This is the time we live in.
Wait Trump is talking about using the military against American citizens??? (Maybe I missed this, I am Dutch so I don't watch American news all day)
Sadly yes https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-suggests-hell-use-the-military-on-the-enemy-from-within-the-u-s-if-hes-reelected
Do you think he will actually do that, or is it just an empty threat?
He would 100% try. He tried last time. Whether the chain of command below him actually does it is a different matter.
He would do it pretty sure.
He say out loud everything that he will be and want to be and those dumb fuck still vote for him so i can't find a reason why he would not
I must add i'm from Canada not the US but we can't escape US news here and a big part of Canadian dumb fuck want trump to be their president too
