Guys guys, I'm not voting for the guy that followed the law that Trump made. Instead I'm gonna vote for a dictator "for a day", or throw it away and help the person that wants to be a dictator.

People I swear.

So we can't criticize Biden because the office of POTUS doesn't have the power to do anything in our form of government, but if Trump wins suddenly the office of POTUS is a dictatorship? That makes a ton of sense.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Of course you can criticize him all you want, but don't bust that BS that "it's only a dictatorship" if Republican. Not one democratic has said to be a dictator for a day unlike the supreme bone spurs leader.

Yeah he says a lot of bullshit. If he actually had the power to declare himself dictator then so does Biden.

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Democrats play by the rule of law. Republicans quite openly do not.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social -1 points 8 months ago

Yeah? And how's that working out for the both of them?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social -4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

He's using innocent immigrants and refugees as political pawns. If that doesn't alarm you, then I've got nothing to say to you.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ok so do nothing, and lose the election which would still result in a mass deportation on immigrants, shut down the border indefinitely, and shit maybe even allow hunting them from Cheeto Man rabid dogs. Got it.

The article literally says that the will be exceptions and gives time to fix the stupidity that has been going on with asylum rules.

But you are right let's help the Cheeto Man.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social -3 points 8 months ago

fix the stupidity that has been going on with asylum rules

So you don't support open borders?

[–] Neato@ttrpg.network 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Welcome to fucking politics. If I was an immigrant I'd rather be used as a pawn temporarily than be the next target of the fascist dictator.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What about the current fascist dictator?

[–] PugJesus@kbin.social 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

"Biden is a fascist dictator"

Literally the same shit MAGA cultists say, lmao.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@midwest.social -1 points 8 months ago

Same botlike regurgitated lines. So tired and timeworn...

[–] Alto@kbin.social -2 points 8 months ago

Don't bother. This guy is clearly a lost cause.

Dipshits like them will be the reason Trump wins if he does. Im sure they'll be comforted screaming about how they didn't vote for Biden as we lose anything that even halfway resembles democracy.
