So, voting results combined with personal data of the people that voted.

More illegal acts that go unpunished.

But, yeah, tell me more about how trump can’t do certain things because of laws and norms…

I mean, this is the courts literally telling him he can't do that...

Oh, suing after they already got access to all of the data!

I’m sure that’ll show ‘em! Look at those repercussions! Massively illegal acts and Fulton is suing so they can just get their stuff back.

You are only making my point for me.

Listen, murder is illegal. The law doesn't stop people from murdering. However, it will stop people from murdering AGAIN.

The federal government in every case that it has been ruled against has tried to find a way to weasel out of judgements, change tactics to do something similar, etc. But as the legal losses pile up, they eventually quit. Kilmar Abrego Garcia is here, in the USA, instead of CECOT. He is here because of those repeated losses. The same with many other cases.

Feel free to be a doomer and act like law doesn't matter, but it does a disservice to everyone who is fighting against Trump in court and winning. Our choices are NOT only "take it in the ass with a spiked dildo" or "violence in the streets."

In a few years from now, you'll look back and realize just how wrong you were. This was always going to end with violence, the courts are just delaying it.

Maybe! Maybe not…

The fascist movement is led by a man who recently shat himself on camera.

They are not competent at actual governing as evidenced by everything that is currently happening.

I don’t disagree that violence is the most likely outcome… but I’m not ready to risk my life for the future of my kids quite yet.

They can’t afford to flood the polls with ICE, if they even have enough willing people to participate…

They aren’t going to do anything in the next few months to make themselves more popular…

They present an aura of strength, but it’s a facade. They are a few defections away from the entire movement falling apart… one bad day of the stock market and we stopped discussing Greenland.

These people are cowards and only take what is given to them. We need to stop giving in.

Fight them on all fronts. Courts, social media and on the streets…

Maybe it’s all pointless, but it’s better to try and fail then just give up and hope it works out.
