Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Literally anything could happen and you'd say this.

Yeah, because our massive moist boy has it in the bag. Unless something incredibly funny happens.

Trump is a historically hated candidate and incredibly weak. A broom with a wig on could beat him if it was young enough and had a speech bubble attatched to it saying "ABORTION!".

Unfortunately we don't have an electoral system based on trial by combat. It would be way better than the vibes based system we have now.

Wtf are you talking about? He's like the best possible candidate for Republicans

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

People hate him and have always hated him the whole time. He just has an energized base that controls the party and in 2016 the other option was even more odious to people (and not even the majority of voters in the country lol, just key voters in key places).

I actually do believe someone like Nikki Haley would be stronger for Republicans in a general. She just cant win a primary because MAGA controls those.

Who hates him? Republicans sure don't.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Correct everyone but Republicans hate him thats the point lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

unfortunately he has consolidated the republican party behind him so...

Nikki Haley would be leading by Biden by 12+ nationally right now if she were somehow the nominee
