Trump calls Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ as US rift with Ukraine deepens
US president warns Ukrainian leader he ‘better move fast or he is not going to have a country left’
You are making way more assumptions about functioning government than recent trends would predict.
He's consolidating all power in the executive. All bets are off on anything functioning the way it's "supposed" to.
There's a giant difference between hiring and firing in the civil service and declaring a new Constitutional Amendment without Congress or the States approving it.
He's reinstating corrupt officials. He's piling in sycophants into every corner of the government. He's declaring he alone has the ability to interpret laws. He's killing major federal departments. He's ignoring policy. He's ignoring court orders. He's literally calling himself a king.
We are way, way beyond "firing civil servants", and it is just going to get worse.
I don't think he will amend the constitution. I think at the moment it doesn't matter and it will be ignored. We are now actively in the greatest constitutional crisis in American history.
Understand that the shit has gotten very, very real. All this other stuff that we've counted on all our lives is gone unless something massive happens REALLY SOON.
I agree the biggest constitutional crisis of our life is already underway. I do not agree that we've reached the panic stage. Protest, organize, and be ready to vote in 2026. That's what we do right now.
A piece of paper means nothing if people with guns disregard it.
There's more guns than people in this country. Picking up a gun to disregard paper is a very dangerous game.
There's more guns than people in this country.
We know, you Americans can't stop talking about it.
But Americans also claim that all those guns are supposed to keep the government from getting corrupt and taking away their rights.
I don't see the most corrupted government in your country's history being scared to act because of all those armed citizens.
That's because it's also the silver spoon brigade who've never faced a consequence a day in their life.
Is it? There have barely been any protests on the streets. People are infinitely far away from violently rising up against this regime.
Maybe where you are? I've seen several since the beginning of the month. And nobody should be doing violence right now. We do not have the organization, moral high ground, or legitimacy for that.
