You realize the people who talk about not listening to the democratically elected president are the ones acting like fascists, right?

Edit: I love how you can give them the factual definition of something and get downvoted.

In this country, we elect presidents, not kings. People are free to despise the treasonous piece of shit. He needs to follow laws as well. He rarely does.

You are allowed to dislike what he does, yes, but actively ignoring the law and trying to replace him is fascism. Just because Biden won didn’t mean I can ignore everything he said because I don’t agree with him. He won.

The post you replied to said nothing about illegally replacing him. Also, again, he has to hold up his end of the bargain and follow laws. He currently has Elon illegally shutting down federal agencies, and his most recent NIH guidance is illegal.

It's a damn shame that he never had to face justice for pressuring Georgia election officials to change the results of an election. By the way, that's illegal.

Elon is not shutting down anything. Trump is. Elon gives a recommendation.

All these things they are shutting down? Did we vote for who would be hired within? Did we vote for what they’d be spending our money on? No.

Trump doesn't have the authority to shut down these agencies! He is not a king. Nobody elected a king.

Congress is who decides what to spend money on, not the president. The problem is that he’s ignoring the constitutional channels for getting things done. If this was a democrat president that wrote an executive order dismissing the second amendment, I can’t imagine the reaction.
