POTUS 45.65: I'm Just Here For The Lincoln Project Ads

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

Bringing charges is one thing, securing a conviction prior to November 2024 is another. It is highly unlikely that he will be DQ'd from running; that is a fantasy. If it were to happen, I can only imagine the chaos that would cause. We'd likely see further lawsuits, all sorts of MAGAt and Qtard conspiracies about "globalist WEF acolyte" DeFascist or whoever the R nominee would be, a write-in campaign for Dump, and a dramatic rise in far-right terrorist activity across the country.

Are you under some impression we won't see that anyways?

[Kepler]

I was gonna say. As the GQP gets older and smaller and loses more it will turn more to violence on a greater scale.

We're seeing a failed culture die. It will try to cause as much suffering on the way out as it can.

Like the Irish Republican Army in the 80s and 90s?

I'm thinking more like the PIRA in the 70s when they attacked British civvies too, before shifting their focus to military-police and pols. "Ultra MAGA" won't have qualms about targeting large urban crowds, they think everyone who lives in cities is woke, votes straight ticket D, and is evil.

I was thinking Al Qaeda, but sure.

It's the same people, just different countries. Old white supremacists, old mullahs, old Catholics. Authoritarians who can see they have lost their lifelong culture war against kindness and tolerance, who ratchet up the Sky Daddy nonsense and the violence. They are going to die, but they are going to take as many of us and our children with them as they can.

They were bitter losers in life. How much more bitter now reality has sunk in that it was all for nothing, and all their certainties and jeremiads are fairy tales which will be laughed at or simply forgotten.



Always the same people.

Best thing is for Dump to get the nomination, lose, and cause more long-lasting harm to the Party.

If Dump gets the nom then every Republican falls in behind him lock step.

The best thing for America and the world is him losing the GQP nomination close, inciting a permanent 50/50 split in the GOP between the Paul Ryan crooks and the MTG Taliban.

I get that, but by "Republican" do you mean to include those who went from blue to red (or stayed home) in '16 and/or from red to blue (or stayed home) in '20? Seems those are the players who will touch the ball in the final minute of the game we now play.

I mean it as the broadest category of those who either swallow Dump's load or pretend to for political advantage. The latter are cynics who will fake unity if Dump wins the nomination. The former are sincere derps, and if Dump loses the primaries he will continually lash out at the nominee, and those derps will be furious with the party for not crowning their Fool King.

Meaning he would run as a third party to try to avoid getting prosecuted. Which would make an entertaining fall for the republicans.

Do it. We haven't seen a true third party since '68.

[Slap Shot]

As if there was additional reason needed to agree that Wisconsin sucks.

[FadeToBlack&Gold]

RFK would have won. Nixon and the CIA had him killed. ;-)

Not to mention a throwback to a time to when California was a red state, Chicago didn't necessarily carry IL for the Democrats, and (racist southern) Democrats could still win in Texas.
