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.
You’re a foreign actor, trying to influence the elections. Very bad. Much evil.
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.
Snowshadow is a great follow 👍🏻
is this your alt
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.
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.
I hope he dies soon.
I fear what they’re going to come up to replace him with.
Neoconservatism is dying out. Right wing anti-liberalism is on the rise. Vance is the marshmallow tip of the spear.
- 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’shell’s door right now.
Yeah, he’s 78, and I doubt he’ll hold up at 82.
He might be gone, but his cult isn’t.
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.
Or in prison.
If he doesn’t end up in prison or the psych ward he’ll be too old to “run” again.
Yeah we thought that about Biden and the fascist xunt still ran again, destroying the primary, and eventually appointed one of the least popular politicians in US history in his stead.
Lol what?
Is biden the fascist now to whitewash trump?
Both are fascist. The guy commiting genocide will never not be a fascist, sorry.
Oh no a pro trumper. Goodbye!
Oh no, you’re stupid.
Even outside of usa
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.
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
He’s finally prosecuted for his countless crimes and lands in jail for life
Fucking ROTFLcopter. Yeah 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.

What? You’re telling me that what happened in 1933 with the business plot to overthrow the government and no one of importantance being held accountable allowed fascism to continue to grow. That is… That actually tracks with America. We have a terrible short term memory.
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 deportationgenocide plans.Agreed.
Yeah that will only be popcorn time.
We’re trying! Sadly we are wedged between two factions that are hell-bent on getting him elected.
One, purposefully- the other, ignorantly.
Maybe if you guys didnt put yeltsin in place you wouldnt have russian interference now. Just saying
lmao
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.
