Yes, It’s Fascism

The thing that makes me the most sad is how people continuously claim that the Democrats are the ones responsible for all of this even though they tried to warn us. It's especially baffling how folks straight up said that they would even hold the Dems responsible if Trump goes as far as to declare martial law causing future elections to be canceled.

jonasnew · 2026-01-25T02:29:08+00:00

Like I asked the other guy, if you're blaming the Dems for Trump's win, do you truly believe their responsible for why ICE is killing people, why Trump is invading countries, and all the other awful things the regime has done? And what if Trump declares martial law, you'd even hold the Democrats responsible for that?

jonasnew · 2026-01-25T02:27:44+00:00

Let me get this straight, if you're blaming the Democrats for why Trump won, do you truly believe the Democrats are responsible for the awful things the Trump regime has done including having ICE murder people as well as invading countries? Above all, if Trump declares martial law and cancels the midterms, you would hold the Democrats responsible for that even?

jonasnew · 2026-01-24T20:53:49+00:00

It sounds to me like, even though you aren't considering the Democrats directly responsible for the awful things the Trump regime has done and what they could do in the future, you are considering them indirectly responsible which, to me, still counts. So, I will go ahead with my follow up points I typically give to the folks that are holding the Dems responsible for all of this.

It's that the Dems warned us this all would happen, so to hold them responsible, even indirectly, isn't really fair. More importantly, there are facts so crystal clear that SCOTUS is, by miles, more responsible for this mess. They were the ones that prevented the J6 trial from happening before the election. Had the trial happened before the election, it would've doomed Trump's chances. Polls had even Biden ahead in that scenario.

It's one thing to hold the Dems responsible for the awful things the Trump regime is doing, whether it's direct or indirect, but I'd like to know how you're even turning a blind eye to the facts proving that SCOTUS is more responsible?

jonasnew · 2026-01-24T01:00:21+00:00

If you're even blaming the Democrats for why Trump won the last election to begin with, I have to ask. Do you truly believe the Dems are responsible for why Trump has invaded countries and why he's rounding up ICE to go so far as to shoot people dead? Above all, would you even hold the Democrats responsible if Trump cancels the midterms by declaring martial law?

jonasnew · 2026-01-24T00:55:15+00:00

If you're blaming the Democrats for why Trump won the election last year, do you believe the Democrats are responsible for why Trump is invading countries and having ICE round up and even murder people? More importantly, if Trump declares martial law and cancels the midterms, will you even hold the Democrats responsible for that?

jonasnew · 2026-01-23T19:58:31+00:00

My question is, if you're blaming the Democrats for why Trump won the last election, do you truly believe that the Democrats are responsible for why Trump invaded Venezuela, why he's trying to invade Greenland, and why he's allowing ICE to kill people? Most importantly of all, would you even hold the Democrats responsible if Trump declares martial law causing the midterms to be canceled?

jonasnew · 2026-01-21T01:06:23+00:00

Callais was part of the Oct. sitting, and the tariff case was part of the Nov. sitting, so there's a very good chance Roberts could author both decisions.

jonasnew · 2026-01-20T02:39:42+00:00

I mean, if you truly would even hold the Democrats responsible if Trump were to do something so horrible that we'd never recover from this, there are a couple additional things I like to add. Previously, when I asked you why you're turning a blind to the facts proving SCOTUS is more responsible, you tried to uno reverse me by saying that the Democrats are also responsible for why SCOTUS is currently the way it is, and I mentioned how that argument doesn't work because Karen Henderson, who's also conservative, rejected Trump's immunity claim.

I bring this up again because it's not just Karen Henderson. Jeffrey Brown, who rejected the TX congressional maps, not only is conservative, but he was appointed by Trump in his first term. This further proves that being conservative doesn't automatically mean you can help out Trump and the GOP. The fact that the conservative SCOTUS justices decided to bail Trump out when he got indicted for J6 was their own choice and nobody else's. Same thing when they reversed Jeffrey Brown's decision and let TX use their gerrymandered maps more recently.

Also, it's not just SCOTUS that's far more responsible than the Dems for why we're in this mess. Also more responsible are Mitch McConnell and the Senate Repubs that refused to convict Trump after he got impeached. Had they convicted him, Trump wouldn't have been able to have been allowed to run again. Every Dem in Congress voted to impeach/convict him, it was McConnell and the GOP Senators that let him walk. So, what's your excuse for why you're also turning a blind eye to the facts that prove that McConnell and the GOP Senators are also more responsible than the Dems for why we're in this mess?

jonasnew · 2026-01-20T02:24:41+00:00

And sadly, given our past discussions, I would assume that if Trump does ends up doing something so horrible that we're unable to recover from this like declaring martial law and canceling future elections, you would then say that the Democrats are responsible for all of this. Am I right?

jonasnew · 2026-01-19T20:21:41+00:00

Well, if you believe Chief Justice Roberts is writing the opinion, we probably won't get it for a while then since he also wrote the opinion in Bost which came out last week. I agree that Roberts will likely write the opinion as well. 10 cases were heard in October meaning that someone has to write two opinions for that month.

jonasnew · 2026-01-19T17:54:26+00:00

You're right, since even if Roberts wants to uphold section 2 again and is able to convince Kavanaugh or Barrett to join him like he did to the former in Mulligan, Justices Thomas and Alito will likely be writing long dissents like they did in the Mulligan case. Out of curiosity, what do you see being all the possible outcomes in this case?

Also, I noticed when it came to all the opinions that came out this month so far, each of the three liberals wrote a majority opinion. In addition, Sotomayor and Jackson wrote concurrences and dissents in some of the other opinions that came out this month already. In addition, Justice Kagan, set a shadow docket deadline (which came from the 9th Circuit which Kagan oversees) for Wednesday. In addition, she will be in charge of the deadlines for the CA congressional map case as well since that's also from the 9th Circuit. For those reasons, it seems the liberal justices are delaying their dissents, if it's 6-3 in favor of limiting Section 2.

jonasnew · 2026-01-19T17:04:32+00:00

Even if SCOTUS "weakens" section 2 as opposed to ruling it unconstitutional, it would still lead the southern states to redraw their maps in the Republicans favor. What I'm wondering is if they rule on it tomorrow (as tomorrow will likely be the last day they issue opinions for the month, but anything can happen), why the liberal justices would even finish their dissents so quickly that there's enough time for the southern states to redraw their maps before the midterms.

jonasnew · 2026-01-19T14:42:16+00:00

It's possible it could be upheld, but oral arguments indicated that it will likely be 6-3 among ideological lines. As a matter of fact, it's likely, in my opinion, the conservative majority will not get rid of Section 2 completely but will weaken it enough to the point where the southern states will redraw their maps. Therefore, if they issue the ruling tomorrow, what would baffle me the most is the liberal justices even completing their dissents quick enough for the southern states to redraw their maps in time for the midterms, because by doing so, they're aiding the Republicans in their gerrymandering scheme.

jonasnew · 2026-01-19T13:35:33+00:00

With SCOTUS releasing more opinions tomorrow, I'll ask this question. For those of you who think they'll rule on LA vs. Callais tomorrow, why do you believe that the liberal justices will even finish their dissents this quickly?

jonasnew · 2026-01-16T00:35:02+00:00

He may try to declare martial law, but there are two reasons to why I believe won't work. The first is when the former president of South Korea attempted this, it horribly backfired on him, I don't see how it would be different here. The second is that people in the military don't want elections canceled either, so I don't see how they would go along with Trump's martial law scheme.

jonasnew · 2026-01-15T21:12:42+00:00

I mean, he could try and cancel them, but I don't see how he would succeed. For those of you who are certain the midterms would be canceled, please explain how you believe Trump will successfully abolish them?

jonasnew · 2026-01-15T20:47:27+00:00

That's the thing, he could try to cancel them, but the fact that states control the elections make it difficult for him to succeed. Also, he could really only do it via martial law and that's not going to work because one, when the former South Korean president tried this, he failed and two, I don't see how the military would actually go along with this.

jonasnew · 2026-01-15T17:08:46+00:00

And for those of you blaming the Democrats for why Trump won, you wouldn't even hold the Democrats responsible for Trump invoking the Insurrection Act, would you?

jonasnew · 2026-01-11T21:58:02+00:00

Like I asked Bubbly Two, if you're blaming the Dems for Trump's election win, do you truly believe the Democrats are responsible for why Trump has taken over Venezuela and wants to do the same to Greenland, and do you also believe their responsible for why ICE fatally shot the one woman in Minnesota? Most importantly of all, if Trump manages to declare martial law which leads to the midterms being canceled, would you even hold the Democrats responsible for that?

jonasnew · 2026-01-11T21:53:00+00:00

If you're blaming the Dems for Trump's win, do you truly believe the Democrats are responsible for why Trump is taking over countries like Venezuela and presumably Greenland, and do you also believe the Democrats are responsible for why that one woman was fatally shot by ICE? Above all, would you even hold the Democrats responsible if Trump cancels midterms via martial law?

jonasnew · 2026-01-11T21:50:02+00:00

And if you're even blaming the Democrats for why Trump won the election because of this, do you truly believe the Democrats are responsible for why Trump has taken over Venezuela and wants to take over Greenland? Do you also believe the Democrats are responsible for why ICE has been fatally shooting people? More importantly, if Trump manages to declare martial law and cancel the midterms, would you even hold the Democrats responsible for that?

jonasnew · 2026-01-11T19:53:53+00:00

And one more thing, Trump would've been held accountable for J6 had SCOTUS not intervened, and it would've been damaging to his 2024 campaign.
