America After MAGA

[soundjata]

There is no America after MAGA.
Trump sold everything.
People, Cows, Ground, Air and Water.
Even the Cyberspace.
Buy STRUMPZ now!

Recent events compel me to add to the list:
-purge the military of fascists.

They were actually somewhat decent at that and very good at gating the upper ranks, during the Bush and especially Obama years.

Today, Donald launched an ALLCAPS attack on Ali...

Notwithstanding the concomitant butchery (...), I can't help but appreciate the way he is currently diminishing the stature of world leaders (all of them in his wake)
Farcical eh?

The clock is ticking
Society will undergo a drastic reconfiguration soon
It will be ugly
And beautiful

It would have to be by some sort of uprising of Americans.

Uh, This election and administration WAS the uprising.

Uh, This election and administration WAS the uprising.

By who, billionaires?

This may be an odd thread to start in light of the bleakness of the current moment, but the Allies began planning to occupy Germany in 1942. So, assuming that MAGA is defeated and is not in control of the American state on January 20th, 2029, what changes should be made to the Constitutional order to prevent a repeat of the second Trump term?

In broad outline, I propose:

-abolishing the Department of Homeland Security. Prosecutions of officers employed by DHS who violated the constitutional rights of persons under US jurisdiction under any previous administration. DHS functions deemed essential to be split up between other relevant departments and agencies.

-Constitutional amendment specifying that the President is liable for any criminal acts committed in office, regardless of whether the acts were "official" or not

-some means of checking the Supreme Court's power. Term limits, increased # of justices, perhaps allowing a supermajority in Congress to override a SCOTUS decision if it strikes down Congressional legislation

-The CECOT prison to be broken open and prisoners to be transferred to normal prisons or other kinds of rehabilitation facilities (or released) according to the facts of their specific case

- strengthening of anti-corruption laws, to include constititional amendments if necessary.

-constitutional amendment specifying that incorporation is a privilege designed to advance the public interest, not an unconditional right of individuals, and exempting corporate property from Bill of Rights protections that were only intended to protect personal property

My feeling on this (the OP/Thread topic) is that everything begins and depends, on a new, charismatic leader emerging to take Trump's place in the hearts of the voters and the media. They can be a hero, a villain, anti-hero, statesman/woman, charlatan, etc., but they Have.To.Be....cue the music

POPULAR... They've gotta be pop-UUUUU- LAR...

That is the only way any "moving on" to an "America after MAGA" is going to occur. It has to be replaced by something more popular.

What that is, or who that is going to be... I'm sure I don't know... AOC? Gavin Newsom? Jasmine Crockett? Josh Shapiro? Tom Hanks? It certainly ain't gonna be Bootyjudge, Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, Bernie or JB Pritzker.

Suddenly Living in America by James Brown starts playing in my head with Apollo Creed in his Uncle Sam costume dancing to rhythm.
I don't think AOC can pull this!
