i don't know, maybe i'm paranoid. but if biden were to cloak himself in presidential immunity to start acting like a banana republic dictator, disappearing people and political enemies in the name of "official acts" , i think even his own people would rise against him. i am not sure about the militsry, but i think there could be statewide insurrections. texas for example is armed to the teeth even if you don't count the military bases and personnel in it. and they have money and power and a huge population, unlike in 1860

on the other hand if a republican did something like that his fanatics would just look the other way as they have done previously. nixon would not have to quit in disgrace today. and the democrats would probably do nothing except maybe scream and cry in public places and maybe loot random businesses. that would be the street scuffles

this is a really weird time. weird as fuck. here, and in europe... i don't like it

curiously the uk has bucked the trend! you're not getting farage as pm but a centrist (corbynism is dead). is that ahead of the curve, or behind the curve? i'm not sure... i hope it's ahead of the curve and a return back from extremes is the future for everyone
