In 2016 I thought That's it, the US is headed for a civil war 2.0 in the next 10 years. I don't believe that now because no one seems to be doing anything to resist this destruction of democracy by the silicon valley billionaires.

Move fast and break things will be easy for them if nobody even tries to slow them down.

you were too early in your predictions: trump is going to be pushed out in favor of vance and musk is going to vp.

Assuming they don’t throw away the constitution that their base likes to jerk off too, how would musk qualify? He’s not American born. That and being over 35 are pretty much the only requirements.

Trump doesn't qualify either. Their base only cares about the 1st amendment (when it's their speech) and the 2nd when it comes to owning guns (to hell with the "well regulated" bit). They don't even know what any other parts of the constitution say.

It says nothing about being a felon 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also learn to not shit on the second amendment:

Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary - Karl Marx

The 14th disqualifies insurrectionists.

Not sure how my comment could be taken to be shitting on the 2nd

Trump was never found guilty of insurrection because the biden admin slow walked the case, and then he won the presidency, ending it for good.
