Could this scenario happen? Trump declares victory in negotiating Putin's retreat from Ukraine. This helps Trump win the election. In exchange, Trump turns America into a fascist state with Putin pulling the strings.

(3,580 posts)What law would prevent such an action?
I suspect that the GOP would be all in and would support said action.
But, basic question - what in our laws would prevent such an action?

(15,013 posts)Russian shit is driving what Russia/Putin is doing. America's president has got very little to do with it, same with changing America's president.

That's my opinion of your post.
I don't feel like I live in a "Russian colony" at all. I doubt you have idea what it is like to live in a Russian Colony (whatever that actually is)

Here in the US females are being hunted down right now.
And denied basic rights. Sent to jail or left to die.
Reminds me of Communist countries for sure.

(42,769 posts)Presumably you're talking about abortion.
And apart from the recent South Carolina example, how many other women have been "sent to jail or left to die"?
And where?

(3,044 posts)I guess if one has no clue that the Federal government is not just POTUS but actually a large collection of elected and unelected officials that have all taken oaths to the Constitution and to govern in the interests of the people, maybe then these conspiracy theories could have some validity. It is always amazing in the election cycle when someone says they are going to vote for Candidate XYZ because they will lower taxes or stop foreign aid or whatever. Things that ACTUALLY take the action of Congress, maybe the blessing of SCOTUS or a myriad of actions of the vast government establishment to become policy or a new direction. Whatever that Putin/Trump thing is, why didn't it happen when he was already Prez? Sheesh!
Thanks for pointing out how nonsensical the OP's speculation is

(9,136 posts)had been Trump stooges, America could be looking very different right now. This isn't a conspiracy theory. It is something that almost happened. We have no idea what went down between Trump and Putin, how many government secrets Trump gave away, or what may have been the intentions during what may have been assumed to be Trump's second term win.
