    You know in the game Secret Hitler when the board has sufficiently advanced into fascism that it becomes strategic for the liberals to vote fascism and unlock a bullet? Honestly makes me think of that.

    Not saying this is what needs to happen. I honestly don’t know how americans can do to get out of their quagmire.

      In my experience, the liberals lose games like that 9 times out of 10. Either they kill a liberal and doom themselves, or they kill a fascist and then lose the game anyways because the deck is stacked.

      What this would actually look like in effect would be if Biden had Trump assassinated by their own rules, either Biden would get impeached by the republicans + a few breakoff dems, or it would start a precedent of political assassinations in the U.S., which would end with a lot of blood.

      Either way, it will be a disaster. I don’t want to be a doomer, but I don’t see a way to salvage this shit show.

        Have the opposing judges and Trump assasinated on the same day. Court is now in your favour so its an official act and no impeachment.

        That’s not doomer, that’s being a realist. Either Biden becomes a dictator and risks MAGA civil war, or Trump becomes a dictator and risks a rebellion. Those are the 2 choices.
