24. Nah, I'm not insisting that I must be right because only my vision is "reality"
Thu Oct 23, 2025, 04:41 PM
Yesterday

What I am saying is that I believe that Trump will not willingly relinquish his power (unless somehow he can put one of his witless sons in his place), and claiming he can't because CONSTITUTION is ignoring everything that has occurred over the last 10 years.

Is there any example in history where a fascist dictator has voluntarily left power peacefully?
