If he keeps this up, he’ll drag the entire Republican Party down with him in 2024.

    To me, this article seems to be arguing that Trump will probably end up in the General election, but will lose by a wide margin because he has become more extreme and has pending legal action against him. I would say this sounds pretty similar to what many argued in 2016, though circumstances are admittedly very different now. What hasn’t changed is my lack of faith in a large percentage of the American population who either don’t vote or vote in hatred.

      It is 100% worth remaining hungry, remaining diligent, remaining skeptical, remaining active.

      But we are in a very different climate right now. I think the big difference is that unlike 2015, people have actually seen what a trump presidency looks like. There are absolutely republicans that will refuse to vote for him, and he was bad enough that he will drive record high turnout from democrats.

    This article was like… if a YouTuber had a journalism job but no training. Pretty hard to read and editorialized heavily.

    Don’t believe anything you read about the trump machine imploding.

    Vote. Don’t be complacent.

    Doubtful. The more he rants and the crazier it sounds, the more his supporters love it. They foam at the mouth for his schtick.

      Flood the media with as much insane rambling as you can. That way, when you tell the truth, it still sounds insane.

      His supporters will pick what they want from the salad he spits out and eat it up. Meanwhile, his dissenters have to work through it to make sense of it.

      He’s been playing psych games since day one.

      Yes, and Trump isn’t a unique evil, in terms of policy, he’s no different than Bush Jr or Regan. The rich people on TV just don’t like that he’s loud and rude.

      Trump is a monster, yes, but considering all the other candidates from 2016, we could’ve gotten a lot worse, Like Santorum, or Huckabee. Or Ted “bomb the middle east until the sand glows” Cruz. Or Hillary “single payer will never come to pass” Clinton

    Ah yes, because the stable genius depended so heavily on his marbles when he won the first time.

    I have doubts. I can already see a low Dem turnout on the horizon. They need to push the mail-in ballot advantage again now that many are back in the office.

      They’re never going to do that when the fund raising numbers went through the roof under Trump.

      Did you know that Pelosi and Schumer gave the Trump administration an even bigger military budget inscrease than they were even asking for on two separate occasions?

      Schumer fast-tracked all of Trump’s appointments too.

      So even they don’t believe the Russiagate bullshit they’re still repeating. If Russiagate was real, why did Biden win? I guess Biden is a Putin puppet.
