This is not hyperbolic. In one month Trump has taken full unchecked power on almost anything. In 4 years, you won’t vote, that’s a given.

Republicans were saying the exact same thing when Obama was elected.
That doesn't actually argue anything, though. One group can be wrong about something, and another group can be right about a similar thing in a different context and different time.
(For the record, I don't agree with GP, and do believe that we'll have free and fair elections in 2028.)

I hope so!
So when 4 years pass and we’re still voting, are you going to admit you are hyperbolic and divorced from reality?
Would you be around if he does what he says ?
At what point are your personal thresholds crossed?
I dont understand personally, how any conservative could tolerate this man.
Nor any techie lose their minds when someone without a security clearance gets access to sensitive national networks.
I’ve seen more complex plans used by spies to break into state secrets.
Yet, people are surprisingly chill.
So perhaps I am wrong. And perhaps there are other signs I should be looking for.
At what point should I or anyone say “major redlines have been crossed.”
The red line for Trump's people unfortunately isn't doing anything bad. He could shoot a man on fifth avenue and not lose them. It would take him doing something which shows actual human decency and actually helps people. If he attempted to create "Trump-care" providing unconditional healthcare for all he would be impeached and out on his ass. God forbid if he were to recognize LGBTQ rights and acknowledge their legitimacy, that action would literally kill people from shock.

There's something peculiar about how liberals are now so offended by "security" when the federal government has showed complete incompetence over the past decade or even more.
All the security clearance data was leaked from federal servers. What else do we have to lose. Never mind that countless federal employees see your social security info. It's regularly fraudulently submitted by illegal foreigners too.
None of the criticisms I've seen from you or others are alarming.
What was alarming was watching Biden for 4 years completely non compos mentis and a media filled with liberals who would censor and ridicule ANY mention of this obvious fact. That's the GRAVEST national security threat, everything else PALES in comparison, and not a peep from the people who lit their entire political capital on fire over the ridiculous patently-false charades to never admit fault.

Sure. As long as:
- there are non Republican candidates to vote for
- the right to vote hasn't been crippled somehow
- elections are fair
I guarantee this will be the case, as it's been the case every election since forever including 2020 when liberals were fear-mongering (like they always do) when they were out of power.

I'm saving a link to your comment along with a reminder to check back in 2028.
