I don't know what you're talking about. There will be a 2026 mid term and a 2028 general elections. You should expect them too. Especially if you think Trump might cancel them. Loudly expecting him to cancel them normalizes it and mutes any protest. So they will happen, or we will be in the streets demanding them.

Oh my god how I wish to be so naive. There wont be a free election in 2028. I highly doubt even the mid terms will happen.

Any protest will be brutally knocked down and americans dont have the protest culture to keep at it. Especially not with more than half the voters, all Trump voters and all non voters, accepting the fascism to come.

So nope. 0 chance for a free election in 2028. Maybe you get the chance to decide which Trump or Trump ally you will have next lol

Then build it. You have 4 years.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am.not american. Just watching the shit show from afar. But I doubt anyone can build it. More than half of the adult population chose this. I just hope the US burns down quick enough not to pull too many of us down with it.

Then stop trying to normalize fascism in my country.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Its going to happen. Closing your eyes and being naive wont change it. Its important to be aware it will happen so people who can leave will leave.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, it's not. You cannot tell 336 million people they don't get an election. That's what we need to normalize and organize around. You cannot occupy 336 million people without their cooperation. I will not accept your defeatist attitude of just letting them have whatever they want.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Its their plan and nobody can stop them but their own incompetence.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

336 million people can stop them.

Americans arent united enough. 76 million wanted the fascism. 20 million more dont mind the fascism.

oh sweet summer child.

Americans threw it all away for a man with a public history of failure, rape, cheating, lying, narcissism and incestuous ideology. If there's a real election in 2026 and Americans learn from their mistake, things might eventually be okay. Unfortunately, it seems America is the land of the ignorant who equate higher education with brainwashing. I'm not sure how to fix stupid, the country seems lost.

I'll be voting, but I have zero hopes my fellow americans will have learned anything. I'm also not sure, with lying and cheating republicans in place, we'll even have a fair election.

So you're choosing to normalize it. Great. Trump thanks you for dropping out and making it easier for him.

[–] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

So you’re choosing to normalize it

Don't get it twisted, I specifically said "I’ll be voting". I will be voting and inspiring others to vote, but I'm not deluding myself into thinking it will do anything by the time we get there.

Trump thanks you for dropping out and making it easier for him.

your imagination runs wild. I'm not making anything easier for trump.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There is no "normalizing" it. Americans choose to destroy their democracy and they did. So no more free elections for the next couple decades at least.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's bullshit. We have one right up until we don't. Last I checked it was a vote that got us here and until we've been in the streets and have lost a positive assertion of voting again we have not lost democracy.

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You wont have another vote. Who is to stop Trump? The supreme court? lmao The minority of Democrats in house and senate? They cant.

There will not be a free election again for decades. Either Trump if he makes it will 2026 or Vance will stop it. The supreme court will let them.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (2 children)

We will have another vote. I don't think you're getting the idea here. It's us. Fuck SCOTUS, fuck the Democrats. It's us.

[–] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

we'll have a vote the same way russians get a vote. I don't like it, but that's very likely what will happen.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Problem, the states control the voting. And it would be very apparent when most of the states sound the alarm that the federal government was unconstitutionally taking that over. We have the alarm systems, we need the response, we need the outrage that such an alarm should cause.

Sure you can pick between Ivanka and Don Jr. or something like that.
