George Washington was the tyrant George Washington feared. Just ask the Revolutionary War veterans who had the audacity to demand payment for their service, the poor rural farmers whose only reliable store of value was excessively taxed, the American Indians he helped massacre or oh yeah his fucking slaves.

That seems unlikely, since the constitution doesn’t really include safeguards against someone like Trump.
The founding fathers were afraid of a King (at least some of them were). They put all kinds of limits on the power of the executive but they assumed people would follow those rules. They never really considered the possibility of a private citizens gaining so much power that they can ignore government.
I’m pretty sure he feared a Tyrant smarter than Trump, but if we fail with Trump as the litmus test . . . well. Better luck next democracy I guess?
For George, the Revolution was a business decision to maximize profits. However, he did sign the US Constitution which is what every American should defend and it is the same document the MAGATs would like to destroy.
This is the moment we can lose our republic. Nuts that it could be to MAGA morons.
And nothing of value would be lost. In it’s ashes we could get an actual democracy built for the people, by the people.
If fascists win, what / who do you think those ashes will be made of?
In the ashes of what? The victims of fascism?
You seriously think it will lead to a rebuilt democracy, rather than a bloodthirsty fascist hellscape, followed by a multi-polar civil war and then periodic cycles of warlord rule, culminating with invasions by foreign adversaries? That’s cute.
We’re about to get fucked like the countries we spent centuries fucking to get here.
At least you can count on Canada to send help to the more dire areas to stop the worst of the civilian impact. You’re not alone in the world.
love you, friend… but I am not sure thats gonna hold when we start pointing loose nukes at everyone. the fall will not be easy.
Or something worse. Don’t assume that what you prefer would be built up as a replacement.
It also completely ignores the millions of people that are going to be victimized, even if we rebuild a perfect society from the ashes (highly unlikely). I will never understand accelerationsts. They completely ignore some of the most basic values that progressives should have.
Needs an unpaywalled link.
Anyone can do it, copy and paste the link to the archive.
You’d be doing yourself and a lot of other people a favor.
You could have been the one doing a favor, instead you were a scold.
Give a man a fish
Nobody fears a whiny little bitch like trump, no matter the damage republicans can do with him as their excuse.
If Trump wins, he will have finished what he is paid to do; he will step down and hand the presidency to Vance, the wannabe theocrat.
MAGA is a death cult. Arm yourselves against Trump’s sycophants now.
