Maybe Trump’s heir is already there, his name is Elon Musk and he’s even crazier than the original (BTW could we at least start to sabotage X or should we go on financing a psychopat multimegabillionare?).

Musk is constitutionally ineligible for the Presidency, at least until SCOTUS reinterprets that under Alito’s “I win, you lose” test.

This is my thought too. Elon is egomaniacal enough to do it and his supporters are fanatical.

Trump’s mental fitness is starting to waver, too. By the end of this next term, he should pretty much be an empty shell.

Trump was as already disqualifyingly unhinged and nonsensical through his entire campaign. Republicans don’t in-fight, they get in line.

What makes you think there will be a peaceful transfer of power if they lose in 2028? The fact that they handpicked a VP who would have refused to certify the vote in 2020? The fact that we now know there is no political or criminal price to be paid for Jan 6?

Why would JD Vance not just do Jan 6 2.0 if they lose, but this time everyone brings guns?

Yup. And are 2028 elections guaranteed to happen?

A lot of people are smiling and rejoicing in the world today, even in my country.
They’re not the good ones.

the democrats have to reject their more extreme Marxist and socialist tendencies,

At least this made me laugh out loud 😀

Damn it I did it again! Where’s the game thread?

To be fair, Trump’s mental fitness is starting to waver, too. By the end of this next term, he should pretty much be an empty shell. Add to that the GOP inter-party bickering we’re sure to see plenty of over the next 4 years, and the Dems will have a decent shot again if they just get their shit a little bit together.

Why would any of this matter? Trump was as already disqualifyingly unhinged and nonsensical through his entire campaign. Republicans don’t in-fight, they get in line. They certainly wouldn’t lose an election over a “genocide” that the opposition only wanted to accelerate.

“I’m going to offer a child tax credit of $6000 plus a $25000 tax credit for anybody starting a new business”

Trump’s messaging looks like this:

“I’m going to cut your energy bills in half”

One is more realistic than the other— Harris might or might not have been able to scrounge enough votes to squeak out a child tax credit— but the other is pure fantasy. Trump isn’t cutting anybody’s energy bills in half, let’s get real.

His approach works better though. The Democrats are trying to sell pragmatic incrementalism while Trump promises grandiose fantasies. Most people can’t tell the difference.

People don’t really want to be educated about these things either. It’s too hard to try to explain what a tariff is, and why you actually don’t want deflation, and why eggs are not going to cost half as much this time next year and all of that. People are going to have to find out the hard way.
