America after democracy

So it looks like repubs are well on their way to kill democracy in the US.
What will the US look like when that happens?
Permanent repub party in power.

That is not what I am talking about and you know that good and well.
I am talking about the DEATH of DEMOCRACY in the US and don't spout that crap about USA being a republic and such.
WE VOTE, therefore we have a democracy.
The LITERALLY hundreds of voter suppression bills are writhing their way through repub controlled state houses and making it near impossible for elderly and blacks and browns to vote.
So tell me, if all those bills are so benign, tell me what making it a FELONY to give someone a bottle of water in a vote line?

But of course you will NEVER deign to answer that and the other means repubs are using to slant the system in their permanent favor.

And now the fight is on about redistricting now that the census has finished, a huge scramble by repubs to screw the system even further, make it impossible for democrats to win ANYTHING.

So don't tell ME there is no such thing as voter suppression and the more you will deny that the more you PROVE you are a flaming racist and you CLEARLY WANT an autocracy, just like Russia. Just like so many OTHER dictator banana republics.
So you clearly don't care if that happens in the US.
OH THAT COULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE.

Right.

Looks like the ultrarightwingnutjobs here have no answer to what the US will be like after democracy fails here and we become yet another banana republic with a huge military. What could go wrong?

Well, if Dem party remains in power, no employer will be able to make any more than 30% above what he pays employees.
No movie star will be able to make more than 30% above salary of the cameramen.
Everyone will be dictated to about how to live their lives, even though they were seemingly free when they were born.
People who work will support those who don't.
Bu ...[text shortened]... not money that was earned by someone else?.
Hasn't this subject already been through the mill??

“ But, if permanent Repub party in power, it will be a party pretty much what it was like before Obama came along and changed hell out of America.”

Ahh no black folks in the White House mmm red neck heaven.
Thanks for clarifying that Joe, so the big Republican plan is a repressive, racist, homophobic, transphobic undemocratic junta of good ol boys.

Authoritarianism.

Ruled by a cult of personality.

Remember Idi Amin?

Times a million, as you'll have separate state mouthpieces held in thrall to the one big mouth in the White House. No blacks, hispanics, Asians OR women in the ruling class. Just old white men as far as the eye can see. The Handmaid's Tale will be the reality for women, at least white women. Wo ...[text shortened]... uns out and they start squeezing the People, and the guillotines start up.

1984. But even worse.

@AverageJoe1
It is OBVIOUS why you and all the other ultrarightwingnutjob repubs here want 'small government'.
So your senators and house folks can be LAZY and pass NOTHING.
THAT is the repub mantra.

Pass NOTHING so big business will keep throwing millions at us so we can keep in power forever.
FUK democracy, we want POWER. FOREVER.
We WANT big companies to dump toxic waste in rivers like they did last century till the government came in and made it illegal.

But OF COURSE to an assswipe repub like you, you could care less how many people are killed or injured by toxic waste.

So do your fat white boy senators and such, when a Trumpite gains control in 2024 or later, he or she could do JUST that, cut taxes even more on big business and increase it on middle class.

THAT is what you want.

The Dems own the House, the Senate and the Executive. Next up: The SJC.
The Dems will impeach Kavanaugh, find him guilty, and execute him. Done. Dems have it all.

Next up: Cancel culture, Woke folk, and Marxist will organize their Khmer Rouge and the blood letting can begin

Happy days!
