Time magazine called the ex-president’s plans ‘an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world’

Donald Trump has warned that Joe Biden and his family could face multiple criminal prosecutions once he leaves office unless the US supreme court awards Trump immunity in his own legal battles with the criminal justice system.

In a sweeping interview with Time magazine, Trump painted a startling picture of his second term, from how he would wield the justice department to hinting he may let states monitor pregnant women to enforce abortion laws.

Trump made the threat against the Biden family in an interview with Eric Cortellessa of Time, in which he shared the outlines of what the magazine called “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world”.

Except he can still run for and win the presidency from jail. Clearly still important for anyone who is amazingly still on the fence to know that he ja threatening to do scary shit.

I refuse to believe anyone is still on the fence. There are bigots who support Trump, and there are bigots who support Trump but don't want to admit they are bigots out loud.

Refusing to believe reality doesn't make reality go away.

Ironically, refusing to believe reality is something trump supporters are infamous for.

There are the people on the fence about voting for Biden. Given that it's a two party system, that effectively means that some people are on the fence about whether they want to help Trump win or help him lose.

And I'm saying I think those people are liars. They want Trump to win, but they think admitting that out loud will make them look bad.

[-] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I agree, but I don't think it's all of them. Some of them genuinely don't want Trump or Biden to win, and think the right way to be heard democratically is to vote third party or spoil their ballot or something
