[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Trump wins then democracy is over so it doesn't matter what the DNC does.  It really is as simple as that.[/quote]

OK. Democracy is over in that scenario, what then? No, elections, etc. What do people do then?[/quote]

I'm pp...look to China. Military parades. Arresting journalists. Giving govt contracts to those with most clout. Shutting out foreigners from business deals, with little recourse. Jailing businessmen when they irk a party member. Extreme force with protestors. Rampant propaganda.

The masses will be forced to worry about their little black book (i.e. infractions that may be used against them at any time), increased surveillance, harm from goods that aren't regulated, the restriction to travel freely, and on.

Be forewarned. [/quote]

I'm as anti-Trump as anyone and agree that Trump can take awfulness to unprecedented levels but what you're saying is hogwash hysteria that only makes us anti-Trumpers seem out of sync with reason. Fortunately, our Federal Government was set up with a system of checks and balances that would never let one person have the power to go to such extremes. Acknowledge that and be thankful.[/quote]

Agree. The po you responded to sounds like a Russian/Chinese troll using scare tactics on people. The hyperbole is unreal.[/quote]

The constitution doesn’t have magical powers. Our checks and balances are only as strong as our willingness to abide by them.[/quote]

The checks ands balances have the force of law behind them. They aren't optional.[/quote]

Correct. [/quote]
Who enforces the “force of law”?[/quote]
The new sitting president if you are referring to a situation where a president is removed via impeachment or loses an election but refuses to leave office when their term ends. Otherwise, the Supreme Court can overturn any unconstitutional executive orders. Yes, we have some extreme politicians in this country but our government as a whole has the ability to check someone that seeks to impose their unconstitutional will on the American people. If Trump literally tried to become a Putin or Hitler, he could and would be swiftly shut down.[/quote]
So say Trump issues an executive order that the Supreme Court declares unconstitutional. Who is going to keep Trump from just doing what the order says anyway? He’s surrounded himself with acting cabinet heads who aren’t confirmed by the Senate and who he’s promised pardons to if they do anything illegal. Play this out for me, because that’s exactly what the plan is.

[i]Acting appointments from top to bottom.
A cadre of thousands of political appointees, vetted for personal loyalty to Trump, replacing career civil servants.
An understanding among Trump lieutenants that they are free to break the law because they will be pardoned.
An overriding desire on the part of Trump to seek retribution against perceived enemies.[/i]
