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 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.

sadly, voting him out does not erase him.

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

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

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).

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

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.

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.

We would be happy to see him running from prison.

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

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.

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.

As if Trump is a source of all problems in the world

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