Trump Cryptically Declares, ‘You Won’t Have to Vote Anymore’ If He Wins Second Term
mediaite.com
Former President Donald Trump urged members of a crowd in Florida to vote and said that if he wins, they “won’t have to vote anymore.”
Speaking at a Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach on Friday, Trump, who tried to overturn the 2020 election he lost, delivered a cryptic message.
“And again, Christians, get out and vote!” he said to a cheering audience. “Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians. I love you, Christians! I’m a Christian. I love you. Get out. You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

There's another angle to the dictator thing-
A lot of people essentially think the president already is a dictator. That's why even people on the left say things like, "why doesn't Biden raise the minimum wage?!" when that requires an act of congress.
We need to bring back Schoolhouse Rock.
Considering how little help the English songs have been, I doubt that they were paying attention to I'm Just a Bill either.
It's really not hard. The GOP wants as close to laissez-faire capitalism as they can get. This is not a popular position. To enact it anyway they need to go through deeply convoluted steps to retain support despite their primary demographic of religious voters being in steady decline. This pushes all the more sane types into the dem coalition, where we have to deal with progressive vs more modern neo-lib battles over the course of the nation, exacerbated by progressives in the base often refusing to recognize the moderates have a slim majority in overall population.
I'm not so good at the music side, so someone else can handle that part.
Hmmm, could either go with four or five standard pop chords, or a few different rock power chords and pull it off. Won’t be too hard.
Get it done, world ender.
Edit: I would upcote, but the digits...
Ohhhh
🎶 Weee 🎶 areee 🎶 FUCKED, we're fucked 🎶
I think it's less "they think the position is already a dictator" and more "the general public has absolutely no idea how the office of the president works, or how the powers and limitations on various branches work in general" which is a failing of their education, and a poor reflection on the country as a whole.
Of course that's exactly the way the republicunts like it, "keep the population dumb and they won't even question why you're oppressing them"
If your only experience with the president and their powers comes from (for millennial anyway) various crises (manufactured and non) where the president says "I'm signing this thing to do this" and because the vast majority of congress is behind them, as well as the regular) rest of the population, and it gets done (I'm thinking of things like Iraq), I can see someone thinking "well the president signed a paper, so it MUST happen"
Which is sad funny since I hear the minimum wage comment a lot, but like... How well do you think that will go? It will go just like the student loan bullshit.
And republicunts are such fucking insecure losers, they will happily drag the entire planet down into their bullshit to prevent even one single other person from getting help that they believe they're entitled to the entirety of.
You know. Like Toddlers.
