It's like my university campus removing all ashtrays to stop people from smoking.

I'd throw a party.

Yup. "They rigged the election and now I'm president again."

Unrealized gains means that the investment vehicle has increased in value since it was purchased, but hasn't been sold at that value. Every type of investment is going to have either unrealized gains or losses until it's sold.

Correct. Voting federally isn't going to fix the situation. The last chance for that was November 2024 and it even turns out that was a lie.

If you want voting to matter, local and state elections are the only ones that can affect change, because for now the states still have their national guard. If enough state governments flip to blue, then there's at least a chance things can be salvaged.

The election was rigged anyways. Trump straight up admitted it.

It's helpful to point out to people that following established rules doesn't work when the people in power disregard them with impunity.

There's not going to be a legal or political uno reverse card that will stop what's happening. The only established mechanism that still exists to get us out of this is if the military does its duty and protects us from the domestic threat to the constitution.

But, with Trump replacing the joint chiefs and top JAG members, I'm not betting on that happening.

People need to stop living in the fantasy of, "we just have to wait it out for 2-4 years."

Yes, he's very happy about that

There will be no end of the term. Fascism doesn't just step aside when it's term ends.
