#despot

What every #despot needs is an engine to deal with their enemies, be it through #criminal #law or defenestration.

For either to work you basically need to have the entire #judiciary under your thumb and be able to define rights as you go.

If #rights are not guaranteed, #RuleOfLaw is not an obstacle. This means that having variable rights instead of #InalianableRights is the same as having no rights.

@Snowshadow @Sustainable2050 The #US is now completely isolated with no allies nor trade partners, ruled by an aging #despot. 75 million liberals stuck together in a shithole with 77 million white male #snowflakes and #christofascists and another 12 million white people who are 'confused'. We have computers, chemical plants, pickup trucks, #protestant churches, golf courses, and #Disneyland. We had 41,000 gun deaths in 2024 and 31,000 injuries, 5,200 of the deaths were children and teenagers.

I’ll start supporting the Joe 2024 re-election campaign now. That “townhall” was the face of disturbed and evil man and his disturbed cult: laughing at sexual assualt, cheering economic calamity by debt default, calling Jan6 a beautiful day. Cheetolini is not running for President; he’s running to be a despot. If we all fall asleep and don’t work like hell to prevent this there will be no return
