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. ๐ฎโ๐จ

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.
Thinking that Harris is not the same fascist as trump is very naive. all politicians are psycho murderers, or they would not be politicians in the first place
That's such a childish view. The world is not black and white, and neither are politicians. If you can't figure out the difference between Harris and Trump then I'm not sure you're mature enough to be talking about politics in the first place. You should learn nuance first.
Snowshadow is a great follow ๐๐ป
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.
is this your alt
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'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.
Or in prison.
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 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.
