As if voting trump out is going to save that shithole. Democrats are not going to install a fascist regime but don’t believe they’ll fix things. The rich will get richer while the poor get poorer (and dumber still)
That's the real reason not to re-elect Trump, there's no way he'll be relevant again. I mean fuck do you think he'd even alive to run in 2028.
Even if he loses again, I'm sure we'll be dealing with this piece of shit until the fucker dies. Then we'll have to deal with a new piece of shit. 😮💨
And every election, it'll be saving the world from fascism so we have to vote for Democrats, no matter how far to the right they sprint.
I'm Canadian and can't vote in any American election.
I hear more about Trump than I hear about all of our politicians combined.
I just don't understand how people can get so excited all the time about this stuff. Like, being so invested in some rich assholes life that you'll commit treason and break into Congress to wander around aimlessly?
Why are you like this? Make politics boring again.
this is a naive view of the world and honestly kind of insufferable
Please execute him for treason like they would have any person of color in his place.
To the people complaining about US politics overshadowing all other discussions. I too wish US politics were unremarkable.
Trump isn't going away, even if he doesn't win. That's what people thought in 2020. Now that Biden's president, Trump will just disappear, right? Wrong.
And yes, I know he said that he won't run again in 2028, but I don't believe it. His cult would beg him to run again, and he'd do it.
The nazis pinned so much of their cult on his engorged, dying pus sac of a body that they may lose a substantial amount of steam if he loses.
A loss of steam that needs to be aggressively and ruthlessly leveraged to undo and bolster against as much of their nazi bullshit as humanly possible.
- He did go away for a while, but not by choice. He was banned from Twitter, his reddit group quarantined, and news stations fucking finally decided to stop reporting on his every stupid statement
- Of course he won't run again in 2028, he'll be dead. The dude looks like he's knocking on ~~heaven's~~ hell's door right now.
Yeah, he's 78, and I doubt he'll hold up at 82.
I think he'll be either dead or not lucid enough to run personally
We can all hope, and this time we're probably gonna be right.
But the Republicans aren't running out of people.
There's no reason to think Trump's end will make the bad half of America stop this push. There's a relatively good chance they'll find a sufficiently appealing new leader or puppet. If that falls, maybe you can rest and go back to casually provoking the religious right, playing catch with your rights, and still stay safe for a while. Members of the LGBT community dropping "Live and let live." in favor of "Use the right pronouns!" was a potentially fatal mistake.
While you're definitely correct that Trump isn't the last bigot who will run for president, none of them will have rhe same level of influence he did.
Trump is a literal cult leader. You have pastors like Shane Vaughn who literally call him "a messiah." He is literally worshipped. That's why he could get away with Jan 6th, that's why he'll have so many voters no matter what, it's a cult.
With the above said, the his defeat will dishearten his mkst fervent followers. I believe many of them will never be able to bring themselves to vote for another candidate, ever. Not all, but many. Republican voter enthusiasm will be at an all time low.
Following this, the infighting we already see will only get worse as would-be successors fight for the scraps that their titan left behind while others fight to leave Trumpism in the dust. Even if they manage to get a majority, they'd accomplish nothing meaningful.
Their entire plan hinges on Donald Trump's cult influence. The depend on his rabid base of supporters. If he loses this election, that goes away. The remnants will be fought over, but none of them will be able to touch the level of influence Trump himself had. His legacy will leave the Republican party fractured for decades.
The cult leaders are evangelical pastors. They'll find a new guy because it's profitable. They will herd their sheep to a new wolf.
The exploitative business types will follow for the same reasons. They only worship profit and trump literally gives them your tax money, cuts their taxes, and curates the courts to their interests.

I hope he dies soon.
I hope he lives for 40 more years to watch himself become less and less relevant, with nazi republican losers continuing to pin their hopes on him that he is increasingly unable to deliver.

He might be gone, but his cult isn't.
Cults require a charismatic figurehead. Vance doesn't have that. Without a leader, they'll fall into infighting and purity tests.

Trump is one problem in a world full of problems, but goddamn will it feel good to be rid of him all the same.
I almost can't remember what the internet was like without seeing his name or face every day. I miss it.
The internet you remember before he came around is dead, never to return. It's not his doing, it's the complete and utter corporate takeover of the internet, and the funneling of 95% of the traffic to 4 sites. It's the algorithmic content presentation, and the curtaining of real friendship content. It's these platforms refusing to show you what you want, and only showing ads and boosted content, which is essentially an ad. The Internet is dead. Long live the Internet!
Just post more cats. We'll get it back.
Four options:
- He's finally prosecuted for his countless crimes and lands in jail for life
- Natural death/diagnosis of dementia
- He's voted out
- He's elected and someone with better aim tries their luck
I don't expect him to live a full term even if he's not assassinated, and Vance is a fascist without dementia.
Arsearseinated.
He's finally prosecuted for his countless crimes and lands in jail for life
Fucking ROTFLcopter. Yeah right.
This person makes a great point. It's amazing how vapid and meaningless our common discourse has become. Long has it been since edifying conversation has been the norm.
Voting him out will not remove him from your feed. You will hear about how the election was stolen again. About how his disciples tried to destroy the capitol or the white house or whatever, again. You will hear about how he was out on trial again. You will hear about whatever new crap he comes up with.
I'd rather watch him flail about after losing again than watch him execute his ~~mass deportation~~ genocide plans.
Agreed.

Trump voters want to talk about making towns safe, permanently removing people who cause problems or don't play along properly, and make a society where white men to a greater extent can do some kinds of horrible abuse behind closed doors with everyone knowing, most people tolerating it, and only a few authority figures able to do anything about it if they want to or are pressured to.
