Kinda seems like we already did.
This is nothing. There are nightmarish depths yet to plumb.
The sense of "what can I even do" is so fucking overwhelming right now. I know that's part of the goal, completely flood the zone to make us apathetic, but it's working really well. This is exhausting, just getting through the day is exhausting, and still I feel a deep need to at least do SOMETHING, but don't see anywhere my effort would even scratch the surface. I donate half my eggs to the community fridge, I offer free lawn care to locals that aren't able to afford it or do it themselves, I am vocal about progress in spaces that are traditionally conservative, but at the end of the day it doesn't feel like it matters or makes any difference.
Honestly that community level stuff you are doing is the bread and butter of a healthy society. You dont need to do much to have an affect. You just need to make your voice heard to your local politicians, and keep the pressure on. It suits many scummy people for you to think you have no voice, but you do.
Second Amendment nutjobs sleeping on this be like:
LMAO. If the dems did this, the maga cunts would be like "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" but daddy dumpy does it, and they're probably rejoicing.

One of the great failings of this government is not providing a punishment for repeatedly issuing unconstitutional orders. He has exactly zero incentive to stop.
Our Congress has allowed a lawless president to do whatever he wanted. It is a MAGA coup dresses as Republicans.
This is pretty much the Republican project all along.
Checks and balances doesn’t work if one party is in charge of everything. I found the John Oliver episode about Hungary to be particularly terrifying.
Imagine if Trump rigged the election so they had a super majority in the senate and a majority in the house. They could rewrite the constitution. What then?

what I don't understand is why don't they just come out and say "ok, no more elections. this is a dictatorship now" like they keep tip toeing around it, they keep breaking the law, insider trading, illegal operations, all of it and they've gotten away with it every time. So why do they keep teasing something they know they have a strong possibility of getting away with? who are they afraid of?
Doesn’t Russia still hold elections where Putin always wins? Or North Korea?
I think the idea is you keep having elections so you can say you won.

They're following the Hungary model, which in turn was a variation on the Russian model.
What they're attempting is a "legal coup," which is the typical modern democracy-to-authoritarianism transition. They want to retain the facade of constitutionality and lawfulness, to avoid creating an armed insurgency situation, and to avoid burning the value of the current economic system by crashing the stock market or causing investment to flee.

Is it legal to say "we need a revolution to overthrow Trump, and fast"?
Ask the French. They may have some pointers.

So the USPS doesn’t have to do this, they don’t report to the president, and I don’t think this is in any way legal.
If the postmaster general follows this order I would hope anyone in Congress could haul him in and have him arrested.
States run elections, period, and this is blatant election tampering.
The postmaster was appointed during trump's first term and was constantly trying to destroy the USPS then, and has been trying since.
They are sitting on a huge pension fund that team trump wants to embezzle or spend on war.
Biden admin did not push to get rid of him, so this was part of a bipartisan finance driven plan to destroy the USA.
One more Biden/Democratic failure. They had four years to get rid of that traitor who was systematically destroying the USPS, and after trying absolutely nothing, they were out of ideas, and he's STILL there. They aren't any more effective when they have power, than when they don't. Fucking LOSERS.

Just like other past irregularities, mild repurcussions after the fact is too late when the election is already stolen.

Well thats election interference
It will eventually be thrown out in regular and appellate courts after it has had the effect they wanted on the upcoming election. Then SCOTUS will give it a green light because they are part of the authoritarian oligarchy.
after it has had the effect they wanted on the upcoming election
I don't think the anti-GOP sentiment is confined to elderly liberal voters.
Also, Eight states – California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington – conduct what is commonly referred to as an all-mail election, or universal mail-in voting. In these states, voting is conducted primarily by mail, and all eligible voters receive a ballot by default
I'm not sure how post offices in these states could even respond.
I'm not sure how post offices in these states could even respond.
By laughing and ignoring it, having the Governors and Attorneys General of those states countermand it with their own executive orders / statements, just straight up saying that this is plainly obviously unconstitutional.
They could then also threaten legal action against anyone at the USPS who does not listen to them.
Its yet another Constitutional Crisis, any way you look at it, but, its not like there's just no possible response.
The President is straight up demanding that Postal Workers engage in a conspiracy to, amongst other things... tamper with people's mail.
So, any manager or supervisor who orders that be done? 30,000 counts of mail fraud, you're arrested and go to jail forever.
Set up a state tip line for USPS workers to report anything like that happening.

I love that the noose of reality is tightening around this regime's neck.
However, as they see the end they're getting more and more dangerous, because there's no way they're going to let themselves face justice at the end. I predict this summer and fall are going to be the darkest times of my lifetime, and potentially a lot of violence from the regime.

But seriously, how is that supposed to work? Is the USPS supposed to open all the envelopes and determine if the voters are registered?
They just seize everything by default. They'll get back to you later about which ones are illegal.
I just instructed the president to lick my balls. I don’t think he will though.

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
