Yep I think so, if not now then at the next election.
It's already started, it will intensify after the Midterm Blue Tsunami and continue two more years, the transfer of power he will not stand for is him leaving office in 28, all hell breaks loose if he dies before that, if not, all hell breaks loose when he won't leave the office.
Losing the house and senate Tuesday will piss him off, but he couldn't care less about congressional checks and balances really, he'll ignore congress and spend the next two years working to cancel the 2028 election and this time, have an insurrection that sticks.
His Masked Gestapo and the green teeth Proud Boys won't be enough, it all comes down to can he get the military behind him. That's why he threw such a hissy fit when Mark Kelly reminded them that they don't have to follow illegal orders.

Racist Burger King KICKED OFF OF PLANE for saying the N WORD a SECOND TIME!
A White guy with a Burger King hat says the N word. Burger King's CEO (to the best of my knowledge) never condemned it.
This is tepid endorsement.
To me, the N word is free speech, so I'm indifferent about it. But if you don't like it when whites use the N word, then I advise you to live your values; boycott Burger King; try Chipotle for your fast food. Any black person that enters Burger King I'm going to assume is fine with the N word being said to their face by my white self because Burger King as an establishment has a CEO who is fine with whites using the N word.
If you're Black or Jewish and don't like that, then boycott Burger King.
If a guy wears a cardboard Burger King hat then he speaks for all of Burger King?
The guy is as embarrassing for Burger King as Remy Brown is for the Republican Party,

Thank God for the second amendment.
That's the problem, the people who worship the second amendment are mostly the Trump supporters.
And the people that are in place to defend us, (the police and the 5th Army,) I'm not sure which side they are going to be on. I think the promise of pardons will embolden many, I'm afraid the bad will outnumber the good. At least in terms of leadership, Trump and Hegseth are engaged in ethnic and racial cleansing, at the top leadership positions, and illegally deploying the military into American streets, is that preparation for what's next.
I have to admit, I was naive as hell, had no idea that so much of the country was so racist. I always knew there was racism, with white supremacists and Christian Nationalism lurking below the surface, but I thought it was just the fringe underbelly of society, never thought it could go mainstream like it has. I truly thought most people were sincere but all it took was Trump telling them they don't need to be politically correct anymore and BAM, there was a white supremacist explosion into half of the American psyche.
Whatever happens, it's going to be ugly.

Of course not, under no circumstances will Trump accept a peaceful transfer of power, his promise of pardons will certainly embolden them, the question is how far his people are willing to go.

Is it true?...That the US is so "strained" that it cannot cope with either an election or counting votes...
It will be much easier to count if Republicans wait till Nov 4 to vote.
Can you not afford a few more boxes or are their just not enough people left who can count or distinguish which cross is where.
MAGA people can't figure out what "Incumbent" and "Republican" means, Trump has already sued Alaska for expecting his base to figure out such big words.
What is certain, is that if it doesn't go well for Donald he will claim that the vote was rigged...It won't matter which voting system is employed.
Of course he will, he's already claiming the vote was rigged and it hasn't even happened yet. Go figure, but authoritarian dictators just don't like democracy, or elections, or constitutions, or laws, or morality, or ethics, and most of all, they don't like the peaceful transfer of power.
The only thing Trumps hates more is when Obama insults his sense of style as a decorator.
Jesus sent him to us to battle the evil that is Obama's sense of aesthetics.

Trump is now touting higher gas prices as a good thing because the energy industry (and Donald Trump) are generating massive profits from the Iran War.
At his rally in GA yesterday Trump said, "My people said, 'Please don't mention that, sir,' because people are paying a little higher... I said, 'I don't give a damn. I'm going to say it. We're making a freaking fortune.'"
When Trump says "we" are making a freaking fortune, he is being literal. The Congressional Joint Economic Committee released data on Trump's oil and gas stocks this week. According to the report “In 2026, over 94% of his oil and gas stock purchases occurred after Trump started his war in Iran. In total, from March 2026 through August 2026, Trump purchased as much as $17.5 million worth of oil and gas stocks.” The report states that "Trump's oil and gas stocks have added $35.8 million to his personal wealth since the war began.
This is nothing compared to the billions his family has made off the war by trading in the prediction markets. Trump has declared the Iran war won, nearly over, or that a deal was imminent at least 38 times since he began the war, Trump's sons have been very good at trading in the prediction markets, it's almost like they always know what Trump is going to say about the war before he says it.
Silly us, we all though he had no reason to start the war with Iran, it turns out there are billions of reasons for it.

Votes dated after November 3 will not be counted in the U.S.
Don't believe her, she's just a girl.
The midterms are only a Zacharia away, and it is expected that there will be greater participation than ever before. In order to support the expected high volume of voters with strained resources, they have decided to spread the vote over a two-day period.
It has been determined that Democrats will vote on November 3 and Republicans will vote on November 4th.
This will allow for a more orderly voting process, avoids long lines, saves time and ensures greater accuracy
Please make sure you vote on your designated day.
Thank you.
In 2016, the two major political parties gave me a choice between the last two people on earth that I would vote for. Since I couldn’t vote for either major party candidate without vomiting, I supported the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson (In retrospect, weird Gary John. Every single Trump supporter I knew told me I was voting for Clinton, and every single Clinton supporter said I was voting for Trump. I wasn’t, I was voting for Johnson specifically to not be voting for either Trump or Clinton. I hate that most everybody was voting against something, rather than for something.
But this election is different, I think it’s imperative that we join together to fight against what is happening under Trump and MAGA (MAGA is not the Republican Party btw) and the best way to do that is to vote Democrat. The only chance to minimize the damage Trump is doing to this country lies with Democratic control of Congress. The Republican congress has consistently failed to check his excesses and stand up for the American people and defend our democracy.
So, in response to the question of “how much sense does it make for libertarians to favor maga than moderate or conservative dems”, I would say it makes no sense at all. As your title says, “maga is more about dysfunction than conservatism”, especially considering that MAGA has nothing whatsoever to do with conservatism, it is all about extremism.
Under Trump’s influence the Republican party has become unrecognizable, Republican in name only, and all of the positive aspects of the Republican party that Libertarianism drew from, are gone from this thing MAGA misrepresents as “Republican”. I was a Republican my entire adult life until Trump came along and destroyed all the good that was in the Republican party, I suppose that’s why I’m so bitter about it, it my party that he destroye, and my country he’s trying to destroy.
Let’s look at the positive Republican values that Libertarians believe in, but that are no longer Republican values.
Primarily,
Libertarians hold “individual liberty and personal sovereignty” as its highest values. Trump’s party is authoritarian to the core, demanding submission to authority, strict control over individual freedoms, and the concentration of power in a leader or ruling elite that is not constitutionally accountable to the people, as such, Trump’s MAGA movement is diametrically opposed to the Libertarian values of “individual liberty and personal sovereignty”.
The Libertarian Non-Aggression Principle claims no person or government has the right to initiate force, coercion, or fraud against anyone, Trump’s party is lawless, aggressive, and violent, it’s fair to say MAGA is primarily motivated by force, coercion, and fraud, transgressing everything Libertarians stand for.
Libertarians advocate for a Limited Government, and this is probably the worst thing about Trump’s corruption of the Republican party. Back when I was a Republican, we believed in smaller government, but it was about more than just fiscal responsibility, it was about the sacred line drawn between government and our personal lives, a smaller government meant the government had a smaller footprint in our lives, we control the government rather than the government controlling us.
Personal Freedom is necessarily freedom from excessive government interference and control, at one time, the Republican party embodied those values in it's commitment to smaller government. The right to privacy guaranteed by the first, third, fourth, fifth, ninth, and fourteenth amendments was sacred, the message was that the government had to stay out of our personal lives, that our private lives are none of governments damn business. Narrowly defining the role government plays of our lives used to be a core American value, there is a reason the bill of rights was all about limiting the government’s power and influence over our lives. Freedom and liberty were understood to be a guarantee freedom from government involvement in our personal lives.
The Republican party has completely violated that sacred demarcation, they have turned politics into a culture war, encroaching on our privacy and forcefully making our personal lives their business. They try to make LGBTQ the enemy despite the fact what we do in our bedroom is none of their business, they have replaced the polarity between the people and their government by polarizing the people against one another, making our private lives their business, and divisiveness their tactic. In a relatively shott period of time, our gender, race, social standing, education, sexual preferences, religion, etc. went from none of their damn business, into a matter of defining our political identity. MAGA is attacking our solidarity as Americans, eliminating our privacy and freedoms, and trying to suppress democracy in favor of authoritarian control. This is where MAGA has completely betrayed the values that Republican’s once shared with Libertarians.
Libertarians support Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy, generally opposing "entangling alliances," foreign wars of choice, and high military spending, Trump courted libertarian voters with just this commitment, but it was just another Trump lie, Trump’s Iran war is unnecessary, and a betrayal of the trust voters put in him.
This is turning into a rant, and I could go one and on for days, but I think the point is made.
libertarians stand outside of the standard left-right or Democratic-Republican traditions, but MAGA has become the common enemy of Democrats, Libertarians, Independents, and millions of Republicans like me. MAGA has made this election the most “us/them” election we’ve ever had, they have turned it into a culture war, and they have put all these groups into the “them” category of their opposition. We face a common threat and need to come together as a people to fight against this enemy within. This election is not just a political referendum, its about morality, ethics, and decency, it’s a matter of our identity as American people, and we need to act as one people and fight to take our country back.
