    Well let’s see who they’ve elected in the last 50 years… Nixon -> Reagan -> Bush -> Bush -> Trump -> Trump

    So probably an old white guy with fucking dementia, if I had to guess

    Last time there was a great depression, Republican wasn’t elected president for like 30 years or something.

    I have to think donnie is crashing TF out when he sees headlines like this one.

    It’s one thing to be hated - he gets to “own the libs” - but getting ignored and being talked about as if he’s in the past? He fucking hates that.

    He was super butthurt when media was calling him former President after Biden won, LOL.

    I’ve mentioned before what the GOP could look like in a decade or two after Trump’s influence is removed. I hold the belief that each Republican president will push further until one of them drops a nuke. Like, if Trump pulled his J6th stunt in 1993 to overthrow Clinton and install Bush Sr. for a 2nd term, Bush Sr. would’ve been onboard with tossing Trump in jail, right? And even Bush Jr. wasn’t stupid enough to attack Iran. So with that in mind…

    It might take a GOP president or two, but I think that a 764 (or equivalent) president is coming - a president so awful that Trump looks like a perfect guardian for your child in comparison. You know, a president who wants the destruction of order and society because he doesn’t just see the US as corrupt and evil, but all human societies as corrupt and evil, and in need of immediate destruction. The rich would support this president’s rise because the president would support the destruction of China, along all other competitors to American business, and would show some results during the campaign by adopting 764-tier tactics to murder innocent people abroad.

    This president would view Trump’s tendency to TACO as a sign of a Democrat plant in the Republican Party, and would promise to exterminate every living thing in Iran as revenge when elected. Then this president would nuke Iran and laugh when the rest of the world is horrified. And then nuke anyone who tries to retaliate, because killing anyone this president doesn’t like in horrible ways is this president’s goal.

    Only way to prevent presidents like this from appearing is to make the US a better place to live. 764-esque organizations prey on the mentally ill and desperate, so making the US a great place to live will stifle their recruitment.

      Mate, stop getting high and watching Captain Planet reruns. It’s unhealthy.

      You are talking about folks who are profoundly mentally ill and radiate malice. They might become a Steven Miller, but they could never get elected. It’s like the same dill holes who think they are going to get elected ina platform of fascism and then suddenly unmask like muahaha! I’ve been a secret socialist all along!

      And the James Bond villains that would need to support them are fucking morons. Musk is the closest we can come and look at how fucking stupid he is. And useless. He blew half a billion dollars and accomplished nothing.

      If these fucking minty-fresh suppositories destroy civilization, it’ll be by accident, not part of some Machiavellian plot. Someone will invent a way to transmute oxygen to Bitcoin and it’s all over. That’s the worst they can do.

      Why do you think conservatives fight so hard against things like science, education and universal healthcare?

      Conservatives don’t want a well-educated and happy populace. They want people miserable and stupid enough to buy into the kinds of narratives Faux pushes on those ignorant and desperate enough to fall into that spiral.

        Yeah, and making people miserable and stupid just feeds into 764’s numbers. It’s awful.

    Crap shoot between malevolent and capable fascist or they get another dumb personality. The kind of people that go to republican primaries have been absolutely unhinged.

    Continue to be pieces of shit. Push white supremacy harder. Spin up more propaganda and distractions. Focus on enraging the voters on matters that don’t actually affect them, but make them think they do.

    They’ll be back at the same bullshit by spring. I’ve seen this before.
