      That what Maduro did in Venezuela, he just refused to leave when he lost the election, and the rest of the government went along with it.

      I thought HitlerPig might attempt that in January 2021, but he really blew ALL of his political capital with his Insurrection. If he had tried to remain in the White House after that, they would have dragged him out in cuffs.

      @henfredemars @ObviouslyNotBanana at that point the military would surely drag him out because it would officially be a coup, so they’d be bound to do it. And no, putting Pete Hegseth in charge doesn’t mean he’s suddenly captured the whole military. He hasn’t even managed to kick out any LGBTQ+ people yet.

        Which is why the continuing resolution was an insane political move by 10 democrats who had already seen the trajectory of consitution violations under way. Never forget. The senate voted to continue this madness instead of defunding him and forcing him to heel.

      Confirm the winner, then they waltz in, take reins of power and arrest him and his cabinet if they refuse; civil war if necessary

      I’d wager he’ll be dead by then as he seems to survive on McDonald’s, and is clearly not all there.
