1. La Necesidad Insaciable de Permanecer en el Poder.
Existe un consenso generalizado sobre la naturaleza adictiva y desesperada del poder para quienes lo ostentan, viéndolo como el único escudo contra el castigo.
- Pretty much. Their need to stay in power will be an insatiable one tied to need of power, wealth, status, authority and ultimately freedom. Basic freedom, and freedom from responsibility, freedom from consequences and freedom from accountability. Its sickening, and there is no end in sight.
- They dont seem to grasp that them having more power will not save them from the people hating them for their reprehensible actions! they will be despised every where! the more they make us suffer the angrier people will get the day will come when theyre ousted theyll have no place to hide!
- Theyre going to fight desperately to stay in power, because once everything topples, theyre all subject to investigations and likely criminal prosecution.
2. El Temor a las Consecuencias: La Motivación Principal.
El miedo a enfrentar la cárcel o algo peor si pierden el control es el argumento más fuerte para aferrarse a los mandos del poder.
- Thats all well and good, but they have no intention of giving up power at any cost because they know if they do theyre all going to jail or worse.
- Theres going to come a point, if we havent reached it yet, where they will know that they have to remain in power in order to avoid consequences.
- This is the problem for them if they lose power, they must face accountability - they will feel this and do what ever to stay in power.
3. La Certeza de la Impunidad o la Lucha Desesperada.
Existe una percepción de que, o bien planean mantenerse en el poder indefinidamente, o bien esperan que la falta de voluntad política impida cualquier tipo de castigo real.
- Why arent they hiding it? its a little scary do they have a plan for staying in power indefinitely? they dont seem to be fearing any reckoning.
- Sadly you will be posting this for quite awhile. My cynicism tells me these people will never be held accountable. They might not remain in power, but they will never be held accountable.
- They seem to be awfully confident that they will never be held responsible for their misdeeds. The only way that happens is if they stay in power. They dont plan on leaving.
4. La Naturaleza del Poder y la Crueldad Desatada.
La posesión de poder sin límites corrompe y lleva a actos de crueldad y abuso, especialmente cuando se cree que no habrá consecuencias.
- Their only refuge from responsibility is more power, more bluster, more threats and more violence. This could get worse before it gets better.
- When you give power to the absolutely worst humans on earth, and tell them in advance there will be no accountability, wellhorrible things happen. Accountability now.
- I dont think they care at this point, they just want as many people as possible to be hurt while they have power.
5. La Necesidad de un Castigo Draconiano para el Futuro.
Algunos comentaristas creen que solo un castigo severo y aterrador para las generaciones futuras evitará que se repitan tales abusos de poder.
- Nothing will change unless they all suffer such draconian punishments ifwhen they loose power that future generations will still be terrified to try this shit again. The only thing that these people understand is fear. They dont compromise so they must be conquered.
- I want to see people running on holding those who abused this power accountable, and i want prison time for them, and forfit all money made while they held office.
- When power changes hands - and it will eventually, one way or another - punishment must be swift and absolutely merciless.
6. La Lucha por el Control y el Riesgo de Colapso.
La situación actual es vista como una lucha existencial donde la pérdida de poder significa el fin de su modo de vida, lo que los lleva a tácticas cada vez más extremas.
- We are never going to regain power if this happens. They will be emboldened to pull the curtain down completely on democracy.
- The power struggle is going to be really crazy.
- The more egregious their criminal enterprise becomes, the more desperate theyll become to ensure they never lose their grip on the reins of power. They already know they could spend years, if not the rest of their lives, in prison. Be prepared for anything. Theres nothing they wont do.
7. La Desconfianza en las Instituciones y la Necesidad de Acción Directa.
Hay una creciente sensación de que los mecanismos legales y las instituciones no son suficientes para frenar el abuso de poder, sugiriendo la necesidad de medidas más radicales.
- I dont see that happening without an overthrow, and i dont see that happening. These fuckers will not cede power.
- I share your philosophy on that. However, i am at the point where i no longer believe that there is a legal nonviolent way to remove these traitors. I think we both know that people like this never give up power willingly. And they have all the reins of power.
- The answer is obvious, although no one wants to say it aloud as the thought of it is terrible to consider. There is no way we can vote our way out of this, direct action will be required to remove these folks from the levers of power. Most folks arent ready to acknowledge that quite yet though.
8. El Riesgo de un Vacío de Poder y el Futuro Incierto.
Incluso si el régimen cae, existe la preocupación sobre quién llenará el vacío de poder y si lo que venga después será inherentemente mejor.
- The power vacuum. We better be ready for the power grabs for the monster they built. They will try to be more authoritarian.
- Something will fill the power vacuum. Directing that process is arguably just as critical as getting rid of the current regime. Moreso, imo, because this regime is going to self-destruct but that doesnt mean that what comes next will automatically be less awful.
- If the only hope for removing these guys from absolute power is to let the system knock itself down then we need to be working to have a new system in place for when that happens.
9. La Desconexión entre el Poder y la Realidad.
Se percibe que quienes están en el poder están tan intoxicados por él que han perdido contacto con la realidad y no entienden que su abuso de poder les costará el apoyo popular.
- Theyre too deep in to reverse course. The alternative is facing prison. So they hold on to power at all cost.
- Its also why theyre still so miserable despite running the government they cant parse that the power they have wont make people like them or think theyre cool. And everything they do with that power only cements the disdain everyone else has for them.
- Theyre all kicking off. The last gaps of the old broken system that protected their power wealth. Change is coming.
10. La Incompetencia como Factor de Riesgo.
A pesar de su sed de poder, algunos creen que la incompetencia inherente del grupo podría ser su propia perdición, aunque el daño causado ya es inmenso.
- I have a similar feeling. They are so greedy and shortsighted they overplayed their hand. Theyve definitely done a disgusting amount of damage, but they havent fully consolidated their power, and theres a good chance they wont.
- I dont know if their power is waning. They do seem awful upset about recent events, but the rich and powerful usually step in to make the wheels start turning again. Not sure ill ever feel safe again in this country ever again because of these people.
- I dont know what this situation calls for. I dont advocate for violence frankly, i dont see a scenario where that even works. But those in power clearly are not responsive to the people. Should we just cut our losses?? leave if possible, hunker down if not?? genuinely at a loss here.
11. La Lucha por la Supervivencia y la Resistencia.
La situación actual se percibe como una lucha por la supervivencia, donde la resistencia es la única opción viable contra un régimen que no se detendrá.
- Our current crop of leaders have been quite successful in their goal of slamming their dicks into car doors, and setting fire to all our money and they will continue to work harder on the task at hand until removed from power.
- They will not stop until somebody stops them. And they have been working very very hard to make sure that nobody in power is in a position to stop them.
- We have to fight fire with fire!
12. El Legado de la Corrupción y la Traición.
Hay un fuerte deseo de que la historia recuerde a los responsables de estos abusos y que no se permita el olvido ni el perdón, sino el castigo ejemplar.
- I know this is obvious but i must say that the people who are attempting to destroy this country in order to enrich themselves are the real traitors and should be given no mercy, no consideration. There will be an appetite for revenge when power shifts back.
- I despise these people. They soil this nation with their crimes and depravity. And when responsible representatives of the people are elevated to power once again, we must demand accountability. No forgiving and forgetting. History needs its examples. Indictments. Public hearings. Jail.
- I want to see people running on holding those who abused this power accountable, and i want prison time for them, and forfit all money made while they held office.
13. La Normalización del Abuso de Poder.
La falta de consecuencias por acciones flagrantes ha erosionado el sistema legal y ha convencido a los actores poderosos de que son intocables.
- Every time anyone gives these clowns any kind of power, this is what they do. Absolutely the worst people.
- Every time people in power get warning after warning with no consequence it erodes our legal system. The lawbreakers begin to believe they are untouchable and that the courts are afraid to charge them. Repeat threats just reinforce that perception.
- Yup. They see what we see. Were quickly becoming a nation where rule of law is a fig leaf. We dont hold people in power accountable. Blatant criminality by elite actors is excused. That is why were spiraling into a legitimacy crisis day by day.
14. La Desesperación y el Doble Riesgo.
A medida que el régimen se siente acorralado, se espera que redoble sus esfuerzos para aferrarse al poder, lo que podría llevar a acciones más extremas y peligrosas.
- And theyre getting more dangerous, they know their window is closing so they are getting more blatant in their attempt to hold onto power.
- The thing about threats. But heres the problem the people who will replace them are worse they will drink the kool-aid to get every ounce of influence and they will be drunk with power . This is actually bad news because it will increase the radicalization.
- The more illegal acts trump and his thugs commit the more desperate theyll become to ensure they never lose their grip on the reins of power.
15. La Incompetencia en el Gobierno.
Existe la crítica de que quienes están en el poder están más interesados en el espectáculo, el caos y el enriquecimiento personal que en gobernar o resolver problemas reales.
- This stupid shit is all they have, they are incapable of governing because they only care about exploiting culture war bull shit to accumulate power and wealth among their inner circle.
- They just know that if theyll fight with full strength, the universe will collapse under the overwhelming power.
- I dont think they have a plan, other than stay in power. Because who doesnt want to be the person who can get reservations at fancy restaurants and get invited to the cool parties and have their opinions sought out, and if theyre not in office any more, well.
16. La Pérdida de la Confianza en el Sistema.
La sensación de que el sistema está fundamentalmente roto y que las instituciones diseñadas para controlar el poder han sido cooptadas o son demasiado débiles para actuar.
- We live in a country that is currently incapable of holding those in power accountable for even the most heinous corrupt actions. Every institution that is supposed to be a check on power has been corrupted. Its just sad and corrosive.
- I dont know how you maintain a pluralist republic when this is what the pull who control the levers of power are up to.
- We all know theyre corrupt. They know that we know. And still, they can stay in power. If thats not proof that the system doesnt work, i dont know what is. Why do we still obey the laws of those in power? its like playing chess with people who cheat and trying to win playing by their rules.
17. El Peligro de la Violencia y la Desestabilización.
Existe el temor de que el régimen, al sentirse acorralado, pueda recurrir a la violencia o a la desestabilización (como un ataque de falsa bandera) para justificar la consolidación final del poder.
- They want to break us down so we get violent in the streets and they can declare martial law to stay in power. Please help feed your hungry neighbor and be a voice of calm. Well get through it together.
- They will not stop until somebody stops them. And they have been working very very hard to make sure that nobody in power is in a position to stop them.
- Theyre going to make it bloody. They wont give up power willingly and we will see those next year.
18. La Resistencia y la Esperanza de un Cambio.
A pesar del pesimismo, algunos mantienen la esperanza en la capacidad del pueblo para organizarse y revertir la situación, aunque reconocen que será una lucha larga y difícil.
- Hopefully when they finally lose power we stop trying to appeal to these people and just focus on improving our own lives, ideally at their expense.
- I really hope this is the moment the country catches on to the fact were being ruled by a non partisan cabal of cluster b moneypower addicts.
- I have to have hope - these people are evil and in power, but they are also incompetent and ridiculous.
19. La Traición de los Complicados.
Se critica duramente a aquellos que, teniendo el poder de detener los abusos, optaron por la inacción o la colaboración por miedo o interés propio.
- Im afraid the people in power who are able to stop this nonsense, are doing all they can to keep it going.
- I cant believe these are the guys trying to dictate all of our futures. Bunch of maladjusted children got a taste of power and are going mad. Their time will come.
- If so many of them feel this way, why dont they use their power to oppose the administration instead of quitting?
20. El Fin del Juego: La Desaparición del Poder.
La creencia de que, al final, el poder se disolverá o se perderá, y que los responsables deberán enfrentar la caída de su influencia y sus privilegios.
- Im just waiting till they lose their security details. Right now these pricks have armies protecting them. All goes away when theyre out of power. Justice one way or another.
- Theyll all get em and we will be left with a nazi party still running around with power. Theyll need to be dealt with personally, harshly and publicly.
- Ultimately these people are going to lose their law licensethe intoxication of power will be their demise.
