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.

Agree with the sentiment for sure, but would also add that a lot of Americans like him, they LIKE what he said, he was heavily supported at last count. Even now he is supported substantially.

That is something many people need to think about. What happens next election? He won't be the last.

Others don't seem to have the hold over those clowns as he does. Meatball Ron fell flat. Vance wouldn't maintain this level of support for 5 minutes. Hawley can't. Horse face green is just a clown and not a serious candidate.

I think his losing again would snap some people out of it.

I think the party would bail on him. Especially if he causes losses down the ballot. They won't back him for another election.

I hope you're right.

Peak liberalism.

Imagine thinking that once the loudest symptom of fascism is no longer visible, the decades long multibillion dollar Republican project to undemocratically seize power just goes away. That all the structural issues with America go away.

Big “We want to go back to brunch” energy.

Tbh, my wife and I used to have a monthly brunch with a gay couple-friends once a month and we haven't done that since like 2019.

I do want to go back to brunch. But that's besides the point.

We’re trying! Sadly we are wedged between two factions that are hell-bent on getting him elected.

One, purposefully- the other, ignorantly.

You're a foreign actor, trying to influence the elections. Very bad. Much evil.

Snowshadow is a great follow 👍🏻

sadly, voting him out does not erase him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I think it would work reasonably well, because losing twice in a row sends a pretty clear message.

Someone younger than him will pick up the torch though, so his ideas will unfortunately live on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

people younger than him are already driving a lot of his public policy pronouncements, so those policies might as well be attributed directly to them. if they left diaper don to his own devices, much of his following wouldve evaporated by now save for the racial extremists.

I think there's a good chance the whole "MAGA" movement dies out in a few elections if Trump loses this round. It's not particularly popular in my area at least, and "MAGA" candidates have consistently lost the nomination for local elections because people are tired of all the BS (Trump will still win my state though because of the R). If he loses, I think it'll peter out a bit unless someone with Trump's charisma gets the nomination in 2028.

I was thinking, "Wait, we can vote him out of existence?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if we cannot incarcerate, exile him. let him go crying back to putin and see how accepted hell be

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's amusing that Trump can't see that Putin will drop him as soon as his usefulness ends, just like Trump does to people who support him (Giuliani, for example).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

i hope thats what happens to him when he gets there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We would be happy to see him running from prison.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

he would still be eligible to assume the office from there so no thanks
