Imagine Trump doing what Maduro did. Just imagine.

Imagine Trump creating new seats on the Supreme Court and stacking those new seats with right-wing extremists.



Imagine the Trump-administration using government-ressources to support GOP-campaigns during the mid-term elections.

Imagine the Democrats winning the majority of seats anyways.

Imagine Trump's Supreme Court declaring the House illegitimate after the democratic majority there seats disputed Congressmen.

Imagine Trump's Supreme Court allocating legislative powers to itself.



Imagine that Trump's proposal to bring the country back together is to rewrite the US Constitution. There will be an election for an assembly that will do that.

Imagine the Democrats protesting this and calling for a national boycott.

Imagine the GOP winning all of the seats on this assembly.

Imagine credible allegations to come out that the voting-machines had been manipulated and imagine there is no official investigation of this election-fraud whatsoever. Nothing.



Imagine that the Republican-controlled assembly, that's supposed to rewrite the US Constitution, allocates legislative powers to itself and starts passing bills and conducting oversight.



Imagine that Trump is up for reelection.

Imagine that the Democrats get effectively banned from running by inventing new administrative hoops they have to jump through. Also the most famous Democrats are in jail for illegal protesting.

Imagine that the only candidates running against Trump are: a "moderate" Republican, an extremist Evangelical and two fringe right-wingers who bill themselves as Independents.

Imagine that Trump gets reelected.

Imagine that Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the de-facto illegimitate House, declares Trump's reelection to be illegitimate.







And then...

Imagine deciding to support Trump anyways on the basis that Putin comes out against Trump.

If Putin is against Trump, Trump must be the real victim here.






This is like people here on DU supporting Gaddafi because he was a SOCIALIST dictator. He was a brutal dictator but at least he was a SOCIALIST dictator.
