Republicans Are About To Become Desperate
(www.offmessage.net)
Desperate AND weird is not a good look.
Yeah, ask my high school crush
Hey, I didn't have a crush on you in high school!
Is that me?
About to drop 10 points in the polls if you go full desperate and weird, son.
prepares the popcorn for when he does
He’s so goddamn weird
It's been a hell of a year this past week
Again
this will go fine just like when a rabid badger is backed into a corner.
this will be fine.
At least this time, the rabid badger doesn't have the codes for the nuclear arsenal
Grab your pistol, keep the kids and such behind you.
This headline should be a reminder of one thing. VOTE!
They will see only one option, and it will be to intimidate and demoralize the anti-Trump movement all over again. Mission critical for Trump and his allies now will be to resow the defeatism and fatigue that has marked liberal politics for well over a year now. They also have a ton at stake, but in their case it’s not the high ideals of democracy, freedom, and human decency.
...
As for the rest of the GOP [other than Trump], winning or stealing the election is the only way to stave off the recriminations that will follow if, after remaking themselves in Trump’s image, Trump is defeated once and for all. The suddenly leaderless party will be overrun by thousands of minions who mimic Trump’s cruelty and aggression but lack his celebrity and charisma. The only people left to stand in their way will be the remnants of the old guard that allowed them to take over in the first place. How’s that likely to go?
How’s that likely to go?
they will eat themselves while we watch and cheer on a winner
"Charisma??"
I can't stand it when people use that descriptor for Trump either. I have no problem making the blanket statement that if you find that asshat charismatic then you're just as big of a piece of shit as he is.
He's a terrible person. Selfishness promoted as self interest. Charisma isn't an inaccurate description. I don't understand how people fell in love with Hitler either. Fascism is some bad shit yo, seems to run around cults of personality. Feel bad for the ones drug into it.
Republicans Are About To Become Desperate
Good.
Desperation is what brought them to trump in the first place.
I thought it was just color shock from Obama.
Oh definitely some of that. Or revenge for electing a black man president. Can you imagine what the revenge would be if Harris is elected?
A whole bunch more of the cult jailed for whatever terror they unleash? Fuck their threats. Maybe prison will deprogram some of them. Maybe a few others will notice the anti-cult working thanklessly to make American lives a bit less miserable. Hopefully others notice T**** is a complete failure and loser. It's not much, but it's progress.
They have been desperate for decades.
Was gonna say what do you mean "about"?
About to? Where has this person been?
I doubt the qons ever can correct themselves at this point. Either they win with someone like donnie and completely destroy this country, or they lose and either find someone even worse to rally around when he kicks off, or they just implode.
The magabrained crave the pure rush of mainlining someone as awful as the China white that is donnie. Imagine them trying to dial back the temperature to someone who is still certifiably right wing and with all the awful polices to go with it, like RMoney. RMoney is not even a Red Bull in comparison to mainlining the China white that is the convicted felon.
I'm hoping the Republican party breaks up while eating itself. Maybe we'll get a centrist party and a left pary out of the Democrats. Hoping for a return to sanity. Historically, parties have broken before.
China white is heroin, the comparison to Red Bull bothers me.
It's like the Benadryl to chase away withdrawal symptoms
