If Trump gets back in office and suspends the Constitution he would no longer be the legitimate President. He would be an unlawful Dictator. The President's authority derives from the Constitution. No Constitution, no authority. We are loyal to the country and the Constitution, not any one person. Anyone in the Federal Government or the Military that is not loyal to their oath to defend the Constitution should be legally removed. If Trump takes over and tries to suspend the Constitution, everyone in the Military, the Federal Government, and also just Citizens loyal to the Constitution would be called upon to rise up and Actively Resist the illegal Trump Regime.

Yet we talk about how Trump is dancing and just "being Trump". Not enough scrutiny given to the things he is saying that are 100% fascist in nature.

I get it, scream and yell about the commie boogeyman and one day you get your own fascist leader.

Trump will be long gone but that wretched network will still remain. They are the problem, they created this nightmare America that we're currently living in. If we want to make real progress in this country, we have to have a serious discussion about the sheer and utter damage that Fox and other equally shitty right wing sources are doing to this country.
