Trump says he will appoint extreme MAGA judges who are as young as possible so they will be in power for “50 years” if he wins
Tweets & Social MediaDon't worry Trump and Biden are the same though guys. /s
This is what makes me so mad. These people are going to ruin the lives of anyone not a straight, white, cisgender, Christian male, and so many people in this country have no issue with that.
I’ve had some like that explain that allowing Rrump in will make start a revolution and then a true socialist utopia will occur.
Yeah, I've heard that dozens of times. That's literally what a lot of people on the left think.
They say that but most know it’s BS and are looking for a reason or excuse to vote GOP/ MAGA.
Which is always interesting given that by doing that, the policies that they want for this country will literally never happen.
I don't think they every wanted them in the first place. What they want takeds sacrifice and hard work. They can't even bring themselves to protest anywhere but safe college campuses.
True.
I think some do believe it likely due to such millenarianist beliefs (pattern of things needing to reach peak bad before ultimately the good wins and then everything is so much better) being common among Christians and in fantasy and scifi entertainment, both of which most in the US grow up being heavily exposed to. Of course, they aren't thinking that's why they think it's both necessary and inevitable that for true socialism to occur, the main villains need to be in full power first, which will unite people in opposition, exacerbate "collapse," and want to replace the current way with full socialism.
(Similarly, many likely grow up around Republican parents who bash Democrats and "libs" all the time and likewise in the infotainment "news" they watch, so they just think that's the norm and also a way they can remain connected to their parents (bashing Democrats and libs) despite thinking they're on the opposite end of the political spectrum.)
But not all are thinking that far ahead. Probably more care about fitting in with a superior and exclusive true "left" in-group (but when amongst just themselves, are divided by various factions), which does not include Democrats and their base ("libs"), feeling the most righteous, and being all about the current trending issue.
Good take
The part they leave out is that it will take decades and decades and massive loss of life. Def not in my lifetime
Thank you! There is absolutely zero way that trying to implement socialism doesn't leave to a civil war that kills millions of Americans. But to them, that's okay, and they're martyrs for the cause.
The people who say that...won't be participating in the revolution. Those are the same people that say they won't be voting for Biden "to teach the Dems a lesson". I.E. someone who probably doesn't even live in the United States and is sowing discord on social media.
Point them to Weimar and ask them how well that worked out.
They don’t listen. They are right. “It’s different”.
Sure. Stuff like this has never happened before and history never repeats itself.
The Lord Farquaad approach.
"Some of you may die. But, that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
That relies on a pretty risky "let them destroy it all first" theory. This predicted revolution only comes after Trump wins and the hellscape his administration sets loose sparks a full-scale government overthrowing revolution.
And they’ve probably grown up privileged enough to subconsciously presume that they of course won’t bear the brunt of the worst of it
Well people are going to try and cling onto the status quo as long as they can. No one wants instability and people will tolerate a lot so their families can live in a semi stable environment. Even if the government is working for the elites. This revolution talk is all a pipe dream.
Same. Completely ignoring Trump will control the military.
Doesn’t make sense, really. And they say they are for the downtrodden and weak but their dream revolution will not turn out the way they want. The communist thought the same about Hitler. When they could have joined the center leftist. They allowed Hitler to come into power.
If you're not also rich they're gonna ruin your life too.
Life in Russia is not fun if you're not part of the oligarchy.
Shit, I forgot about that. My bad.
HE DIDNT EARN MAH VOTE
I've never understood what that even entails. The president is the leader of 330M people. Most with vastly different ideals and beliefs. Can't just accommodate one person or group to the detriment of everyone else, so they'll never "earn one's vote," in the way they desire.
SO you're saying that they are going to create a utopia for minorities international immigrants and people of other religions to thrive? I'M FOR IT!!!

It should make you mad that the democrats care more about continuing genocide than winning in November.
Sorry, but I'm more concerned with US domestic issues. Israel/Palestine is not something even on my radar foe who I will vote for.
Good thing everyone thinks just like you and doesn’t care if their tax dollars are spent murdering children.
I also care about the millions who would lose healthcare in the US and women not have access to abortion if Trump and the Republicans win. Israel is an arms exporter they do what they want with or without the US.
Then you should probably get off your ass and put in the work. Liberals never do. You just don’t want to have miss brunch to protest THE EXACT SAME shit when Trump is doing it. There are 150,000,000 uncovered or undercovered People right now which you don’t give shit about.
You are the one who cares more about what foreign countries are doing thousands of miles away than Trump taking healthcare and women’s reproductive rights in America. I’m not liberal but unfortunately for people like you I will not be voting for Trump who says he will be a dictator.
It’s what the US is doing with our tax money which is resulting in an already unpopular president being even less popular. It’s completely relevant to the election.
What does that last line even mean? Like you think your Biden vote is a bad thing to me? Did you mix up your replies?
Quit playing games
Would not be the first time. Nor will it be the last. It's terrible to say, absolutely, but we've funded wars and supplied arms to people all around the world for decades. That's not going to stop being some 20 year olds are crying on Tiktok.
Wow, absolutely disgusting knocking people caring about the slaughter of tens of thousands of children and starvation of a half million children. I’m sure you’re helping democrats win though.
I mean, where was the same outrage for Yemen? Almost an exact copy of what is happening in Gaza with American funded weapons and an American led coalition that were active participants. Don't remember anyone protesting on college campuses then or blaming the president for genocide.
Where is the current outrage about Sudan?
There are reports about an on-going, largescale genocide happening in Darfour, again.
I haven't heard the smallest of whimpers about it by those who supposedly care so much. The truth is that they don't care. Israel/Palestine is completely overexagerated, relative to its actual importance and scope because you can so easily project your personal narrative onto it.
It's a lot harder to do when you've got a bunch of vying military generals in Sudan, each side backed by a mix of Iran, UAE, Saudi, Nigeria, France, and no clear delimitation.
It's like the Nargorno-Karabakh situation. No one talked about it because it doesn't fit into the neat little dichotomy of "the US supports X, so I support Y".
I wholly agree. I referenced Yemen since it's a pretty close comparison to what is happening in Gaza. They don't care about the other ones because the US isn't involved in some forn.
Really pathetic whataboutism. Some of us were protesting Saudi genociding Yemen. Why didn’t Dems try to pass the bill that Trump vetoed with Biden as president?
It's not whataboutism just because you have no actual response, lol.
Man, that's like the only buzzword you people know.

Yeah, so maybe democrats should be the party against genocide.
Good comparison on how much Biden is like Trump though
No, you should care about women, LGBT people and the climate, but you don’t.
They absolutely don't. Their total acceptance of throwing away all of that progress shows that they never actually cared about any of those issues.
He’s either a troll who’s trying to get people to not vote or one of the way too many people who care more about their virtue signaling than they care about actually helping people.
These people would at least have “some” point, not a good one, but at least a little if Trump were somehow better for the people of Gaza. He will cause more to die, these people only care about themselves.
I'm going to go with the latter. A lot of these people really only care as far as their self-righteousness can take them. And then when Biden loses, they'll wave their moral superiority over us.
Well said.
Of course, they'll still end up in the same camps as the rest of us, but at least they can say they voted for conscience.
Yep, they would stand over a 10 times worse situation in Gaza and say “hey, I didn’t vote for Biden guys, we good”
See, this is just about you bitching at voters, doing nothing useful. I don’t want Trump to win, which makes me mad at Dems for doing whatever they can to lose. If you cultists were pressuring leaders instead of bitching at voters maybe things would be different.
Both can be true. Voters like to think they share no responsibility, they do. You’re helping Trump win, that’s on you.
How am I helping Trump win. I’m not the one supporting Dems extremely unpopular positions regarding slaughtering children to the point where they will lose in November. I’m pushing them to do the right thing which will help them in the election. No sir, YOU are helping Trump win.
Whatever you need to tell yourself. Biden’s an amazing president, I’ll keep pushing that, you do you.
Oh boy, we got a real one here. Blue MAGA to the core.
Sure bud.
If standing against Christian nationalists makes me blue maga than so be it.
A majority of Americans don't believe in the "genocide" narrative.
Your best drinking buddies from your college dorm and people who follow you on X aren't representative.
If Biden took a hard anti-Israel stance, he would risk more than if he took a hard pro-Palestine stance.
Your douchebaggery aside…
Not selling weapons on conditions of allowing in aid and not targeting civilians, journalists, medics, doctors, executing children, etc would not be a “hard anti-Israel stance.”
(assume you didn’t mean pro Palestinian)
Yeah, on the one issue I care about Trump is only about 5 times worse than Biden. So, may go third party this time. /s
Yup. Totally reasonable response.
How they make statements like this and not hear how ridiculous they sound is unbelievable.
On another thread about Gaza one person responded to me that since Biden is actually commenting genocide right at this moment he'd rather take a chance on Trump who only SAYS he's going to commit genocide if elected.
There's so much to unpack with what's wrong with that statement that I still don't know if he was a Trump troll or a seriously confused person. His post history was a fucking mess, so I went with dumb-ass.
Probably a real person. There's a worrying number of people who think this exact way.
It’s funny that you say that. Because I am not seeing this on r/worldnews, r/politics, r/geopolitics, etc.
These insane takes are happening on these almost niche subs like this one, Ezra Klein’s, etc. it’s fascinating to see the way this type of “sentiment” is being dispersed this election.
Because those big subreddits are impossible to hijack. They'll get completely drowned out by a massively liberal audience.
In smaller subreddits like these, they jump in, act like absolute loons, and either try to get others to leave or slowly try to work themselves into the mod team, at which point they then turn an otherwise left-leaning liberal subreddit into another tankie subreddit, regurgitating "US bad" comments ad nauseum.
This is what tankies do. Because they are so politically ineffective and toxic in real life, they instead concentrate their energies on ruining online spaces and turning them into pits of despair and lightly veiled authoritarianism.
And this is why I report posts and accounts as much as possible.
I hope the bitching and moaning and vote shaming makes you feel good, because it sure as hell won’t help anything, especially won’t help democrats win.

Hasan Piker is such a self righteous prick.
Is that the guy who rips the rich and powerful while also buying a $15 million home and creating videos showing off his wealth?
“Gosh, both sides are bad, it’s so hard to decide.”
Yes - but only one side is committing actual genocide. So hard to decide...
What are you talking about? Biden is old and Trump is like SUPER young. He weighs 165lb too.
Should check out the LateStageCapitalism subreddit and see how extremely dedicated they are to this both sides are the same trope. It’s embedded in their rules that’s it’s against their policy for anyone to point out that there are indeed a lesser of two evils
I’m so over it. I’m not scarred anymore. Nothing ever changes. Same thing ever cycle. Rinse and repeat. Do you boo but I don’t care anymore.
Wish Biden was more similar here, he should be putting in judges, expanding the courts, fighting for the people. Dems wouldn’t lose in decades. Instead we get genocide and liberals bitching at voters from brunch.
How should he “expand the court”?
By presidential decree, of course. Totally enforceable and would in no form be found unconstitutional.
Or, my personal favorite, he should use his bully pulpit to whip the party in line with his wishes.
His justification would be that we should have the same # of justices as we do circuit courts.
I know right! Democratic president can’t do anything, they don’t have the power. Republican presidents however…
Yeah, because people who voted for Republicans over the past 50 years essentially rigged the system at this point. Why do you think so many democratic policies are struck down in court, compared to republican ones. Such a mystery.
No need to say anything after “yeah.”
Again, good response, lol. Shows your lack of genuine argument.
You admitted what I claimed. No point in continuing with anyone who truly believes that.
Yeah, ignoring the very real discussion immediately after that as the federal judiciary is overrun with right-wing freaks. But that takes away from your "blame Biden for all my problems" shtick, so of course you have no actual response.
At this point, I do think Dems need to be running on impeaching Cannon. It's become apparent at this point she shouldn't be trusted with with a judgeship. It's clear that some of our SCOTUS members should be removed as well, but it would probably be fairly easy to get rid of Hack Aileen with 60 Dems in the Senate.
Impeachment of judges still takes ⅔ of the senate to do so.
He has already done that in his first term. Most of them unqualified as him. Aileen Cannon anyone?
Conservative DEI appointments, like Amy in the Supreme Court.
Imagine 200 more. 🥴
this is the argument I have for anyone who says they’re sitting out the election because of gaza. we’ve already been screwed over by trump judge appointments. and imagine if there’s a republican senate, alito and thomas decide to retire, and we get 2 more trump appointed scotus judges
None of them care. Can't make catchy slogans for social media about the federal judiciary in the same way as chanting about Gaza.
Own the Libs, Hammer and Sickle Edition
Ignoring that the hammer and sickle are targeted first with right-wing fascists. 🤷🏻♂️ Oh well. Sucks to be them.
We get to beat them up and take their nutties😂
kinda based not gonna lie. since we know from the labor theory of value capitalism is fundamentally unworkable due to long term profit rate failure, it's funny to see the libs seethe when you point out basic facts about the unworkability of our economic system
I should warn you. I’m not seething. I’m trying to untangle the words you said into something comprehensible. Bot comment lol
well that wasn't a very good try, i didn't even say anything that advanced. but i guess i expect this from your crowd lul
If only the democrats cared more about this than about bombing children in Gaza.
That’s a risk I’m willing to take to protect Palestine from Genocide Joe /s
While conveniently ignoring the absolute evisceration of LGBT rights that we'll face in this country.
Or women’s rights. Or Social Security. Or the environment and renewable energy. Or the future of NATO. Or civil rights. And on and on… But TikTok tells these people they’re the righteous. So there you have it. Not like foreign actors had tons of data to work with from 2016.
Bingo.

We're living in a dystopian nightmare where Authoritarianism is going to takeover the US all because a bunch of whiny kids got complacent (again) and/or turned on Biden over this.
Yeah man it’s fucking bleak
Go team. 😩
I'm preparing for the worst.
I’m buying up ammo
Yeah..never thought growing among evangelical crazies would come in handy but here we are..
It's really sad that, although I'm used to reading obvious sarcasm on the Internet, the /s was totally needed here
Dumbass
One of the biggest problems the US public has is that they ask " what will the government do for ME " and they do not think "what is best for the country ". This is why so many groups won't vote for Biden. They feel he hasn't done anything directly benefiting them, political and minority groups, and don't see the bigger picture.
Reddit is the center point on the internet for this type of mentality.
well that's what you get when the country is built on liberalism which is individualist in nature, this is actually expected and you can't blame people for thinking like that
If you can't hold people, individuals, accountable for their actions and decisions then... I guess it's just the flying spaghetti monster.
your guys fault for fostering a culture of grind grind grind, hustle, get your own, fuck everyone else, gotta get that capital baby! capital over all! it really does make perfect sense when you think about it
It does not make sense and your perspective of things is wildly inaccurate and only true in pockets of society, which is fine. Some people feel good working and making money and that's cool that it makes them feel fulfilled.
You are reading and hearing too many Internet takes. Bless your heart.
i mean i said nothing that wasn't true, liberalism is not collectivist, its individualist
That doesn't mean liberalism is incapable of seeing the greater good. Too much reddit thinking.
i mean , yes it literally does. the interest of the individual depends on their class interest which entails an economic one, the way our economic relations work is exploitative which is why we can explain wealth transfer via surplus value. and this isn't even mentioning the fact that profit rate failures are cyclical and explained by the labor theory of value.... ironically you are the redditor thinking that markets are the magical vessel to liberation when they cyclically go into recession.. the irony is crazy
Once again, the judiciary is determined by the president and Senate. Don't make the same mistake in 2024, as was done in 2016 and 2014.
It's already happening. I don't think this tide can be beat back this time.
Yep it’s GG
To all of those who want to cast a "I'm too good to pick the lesser of two evils" protest vote because you think you're special for some reason: take note
Take note of what? Why would this sway me? Trump if he won was obviously gonna put his partisan side as the judges.
Fuck that little bitch.
Speaking at the National Russia Association.
I hope he doesn't get back in the white house again, the Republicans will turn this country into a right wing dictatorship. Really scary.
He keeps saying stupid shit like this and stupid people still support him.
It’s his strategy. Fling stuff to see what sticks then hammer it in.
Yeah but muh genocide joe!!/s
The protest 3rd party votes are going to send a really strong message to Democrat leadership this time around. Which is good because if Trump gets his way there won’t be a next time.
Yeah, if you don’t want people like fucken nick fuentes being appointed a judge for life, ya better vote biden
The Supreme Court being such an rng diceroll is so messed up.
I mean he was gonna do this anyway. I still see 0 reason to signal support to neolibs, when they, you know, KEEP SENDING OUT NEOLIBS. meanwhile in europe the centrist position is social democracy and im supposed to act like blue no matter who has any validity whatsoever lol
Should we have theocratic judges or anti theist judges? I'm okay with moderates, but if we're going for extremes, I'll take the anti theist judges.
Democrats should have done the same thing with judges. That is how politics is played, to the victor go the spoils. Words cannot describe how disappointed I have been in the Democrats when it comes to judge appointments over the years.
That would require Dems to start a grievance cult.
He’s telling everyone what he will do. Assume he means what he says.
Everyone. Register. Vote.
Yep - unfortunately Biden is not interested in appointing judges. This is why we lose.
BUT GAZA
DONT CALL ME STUPID I CARE A LOT
There is no way that many judges like that exist.
Right Christian Colleges have been spitting those out for the last 30+ years.
There’s more unqualified lawyers ready to put on Robes and ruin the judicial system than anyone can put a number to.
Why do you think that? With Barret and Kavanaugh, they dropped the pretense of even pretending their nominees have to have experience and qualifications.
Liberty University has been churning them out for 40 yrs
There absolutely are. Look how many under 50 judges he appointed last time that were rated unqualified by the ABA.
Judge Cannon for example ….
There is 100% a way they exists.
Tausendjähriges Reich!
Members of a party that has no respect for the law & want to dismantle our democracy - the Republicans - must be removed from positions of power & influence at every level of government, federal, state & local; legislative, executive & judicial.
On top of all his other pathologies he really is an evil bastard.
Hell, if tRump becomes president, we’re all eff’d anyway. America will become a fascist state. Just like the GOP wants.
he already did that
Why is Trump so powerful and Democrats so weak? If Trump wins, democracy and the entire world ends. If Biden wins, the status quo remains unchanged.
45's effort is collective...he is willing to ignore and circumvent any laws that get in his way, and everyone who supports him will ignore their civic duty to do their part in keeping him in check. This is the republican party.
Biden will expand court to 11 to add liberal judges for majority
Excuse me sir. That would be 6:5 conservative court still.
Ya right guess hoping Crooked Thomas will resign or quit health issues so Biden can replace him
Don't think I've ever seen OP post anything other than poor Biden polls.
If trump is so stupid, how come dems have never figured this out?
A lot of people on the left are caught up in their moral righteousness that they can't see the forest through the trees.
Good thing Dems are playing civil 4d chess against this when in power.
Sure.
Next year you’ll wake up in authoritarian country.
You’re right, all because democrats care more about continuing genocide than winning in November.
I think it will actually be because a large chunk of the country actively wants/is apathetic to an authoritarian takeover. Otherwise Biden would be running 80-90% of all polls no matter what.
What would make people apathetic, hmmmm. No idea!
The rising cost of living requiring multiple incomes to break even, generally unobtainable new housing, overwhelming student loans, and inability to ever have children. I think that’s a near complete list.
None of which improves under republican administrations, but easier to blame the democrats as some communists than actually fix things.
Good list. Things have gotten worse
Jill Stein will save us
Hope I’m so wrong.
