People don't seem to realize the only thing stopping Trump from becoming emperor within 4 years is Trump

He and the tech bros have America in checkmate

- People falling for multiple incremental okey-dokes: "oh its just illegal criminals Hispanics" "oh its just illegals Hispanics" "oh its just immigrants" "oh some Americans will get mixed up in collateral arrests from time to time" (source) "oh they can't deport them all so they'll have to detain some"
- Detaining immigrants - or people they claim are immigrants - in Guatanamo where no media or public will be able to see their holding conditions (source)
- Control of all the major social media platforms in Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Questionably TikTok - which is still being pressured to sell
- Downsizing the government via Elon and DOGE while also being able to fill any lost positions with even more loyalists (Outlined in Project 2025 (source). All new federal employees have to say how loyal they are to him (Source)
- Trump openly making power grabs and signing Executive Orders that exceed his executive powers, triggering lawsuits that will take months and years to resolve while he and Elon force out people who question or sue or resist, as they have been. By the time the lawsuits resolve it'll be too late to actually matter that federal employees were forced out illegally and were subsequently replaced (source)
- Investigations into "neutral" educational media areas that they can't control such as NPR and PBS to normalize this idea of traitorous media he can target (source)
- The pardoning of the January 6th insurrections signaling that if anyone commits violence in Trump's name, Trump has their back
- The ongoing threats MAGA sends to people who don't obey Trump, whether they're democrat or republican
- Economic collapse ready to trigger due to either the robbing of the federal government or the tariffs or both, at which point protests are far more likely - and then he can trigger the martial law button and remain in power to "maintain peace" (source)



I don't know how people see all this and don't see the play. So people must not be seeing all this:francis:

If Trump is not emperor in 4 years, it will be because of Trump. Not because of "checks and balances" not because "it couldn't happen in America". It is literally just up to his whim

I see the point you are making but you are being short sighted. Trump is just a result of right-wing organizations playing a long game around the last 50 years. The game has been slow and that's why a lot of people didn't see this coming. Trump is just a result and it's silly think it wouldn't be someone else. The truth is billionaires funding campaigns have an agenda that doesn't align with ordinary people but ironically they need ordinary people's votes to get those candidates in office. That's why the quality of news is shyt and misinformation is rampant and no one if control is doing anything about it. Everything that Trump is unrolling now has been a conservative talking for a long time. Now, they have all the pieces on the board (SCOTUS, Congress) to make their movies.

I was going to make a similar thread.

Even if he doesn't make himself president for life or some shyt to keep the final veneer of legitimacy intact, with the way he's dismantled government in just two weeks, what's stopping them from basically rigging the 2026 elections and then rigging 2028 for Vance or whatever tech bro candidate they choose
