Who Should Really Be Worried About Trump Regaining Power? Judges.
I think we’re all still decompressing from the sheer daily terror and disgust of the past four years. My sig - “exhaling for the first time in 4 years” pretty much sums up the past few months for me.
At the risk of re-traumatizing us all, and perhaps it’s too soon, but guys …
What happens if the right-wing freakazoids game the system enough to elect Trump back into power in 2024?

A second Trump term, as many have observed, will be the utter death of America as a functioning democracy. We’ve taken enough hits in the past six months to put us on shaky ground as it is.
We know who Trump will have in his sights:
Twitter
Facebook
Honest federal prosecutors
Mainstream media
Women
Immigrants/blacks/anyone darker than a paper bag
… but most of all …
The entire judicial system. In his head, Trump was the capo di tutti capi, the boss of bosses, and he goddam WANTED HIS RESPECT!! He gave these backstabbing weaklings their positions, and they were expected to “do the right thing” and repay that loyalty by ruling the way he wanted. Any time he wanted.
That’s how it works, right?
That’s how it WILL work in Trump 2024. Those judges will “go through some things” if Trump gets another shot at power.
