thanks for clarifying. i thought you were going to say it was like the nazi mexico era.

Many Germans and even soldiers of the Third Reich still believed the conspiracy theories and lies of Hitler right up to his death. In April of 1945 with Russian soldiers surrounding Berlin, one German soldier, missing an arm from battle, was interviewed about what was happening and he said "Adolf has a plan. He is allowing Russian soldiers into Berlin and then he will encircle them and crush them." Trump followers are no different. They will go to their grave believing lies.

Spot on and the fascist terrorist brigades that will continue to operate after he is elected out of office.

An American Dream: There are "No Insane" and there are "Insanes" who elected him...
(unless he rigged the election like Lukashenko... So why the poor Hillary didn't tour the EU council to have her reinstated?)

You're one of them.

A Tune just for Trump.

Cadet bonespurs waffling again.

"That was a retweet!".

What a dumbarse.

Of course all his sycophants who go on about how tough he is are now crying over how unfair it is that someone actually insisted that he actually answer a question.

They could time travel and bring Trump The Younger to interview Trump now and they'd still complain it was a grossly unfair partisan affront to their tender sensibilities and scrambling for the smelling salts before they black out from shock.

During the town hall last knight when asked for a position on QAnon he said "I know nothing about QAnon"
If I was the moderator I would have followed up with : as president of the USA don't you think that by now you should know about QAnon?
Then later on when he said that all he knew about QAnon is "That they are against pedophilia" I would have followed up with " when asked about QAnon before you said "I know nothing about QAnon " now you say you know something about QAnon , which one is it? you know of them or you dint know of them?
This asshole knows who his customers would be when he loses the election , and I can see where this is going win or lose.

We now see how utterly fucked deluded they were.

If someone told me this could happen prior to 2016 I would have said they were crazy. I had confidence in the collective wisdom of the American people not to allow it. During the 2016 primaries I said that "trump did not have a snowman's chance in hell" . My exact quote. When he got the Republican nomination, my thinking was "the republicans were screwed"
If I could not see it coming four years ago, how could they hundreds of years ago?
IMO regardless of the outcome of this election , as a country we are screwed!! There was a show after the town halls last night interviewing undecided voters. UNDECIDED VOTERS!!, who can be undecided after four years of this?
For me , unless trump looses in a landslide proving that he was an aberration and that the overwhelming majority of us rejected such behaviour I would never look at my fellow Americans , the same way again.

This guy saw it coming 100 years ago.

"The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.

The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron".

H.L. Mencken, 1920

i agree completely.

i posted something similar a few months ago, but from an international perspective...

if it's a close electoral win for biden, the rest of the world will rightly not trust us because who knows what's going to happen in 2024 (there are now rumblings for tom cotton and tucker carlson FFS) ......and if god forbid trump wins again, it will be the final nail in the coffin.


every four years pols and pundits say this is the most important election in decades....but this time it really is.

The US will be a very different demographical place then. Firstly the Dems are likely to pick up more senate seats in 2022, over the next 4 years the evangelical base will continue to shrink as they die off and are not replaced, the Latino voting block will get bigger, and finally red states like Texas and Georgia will continue to gentrify and turn blue. This election marks a turning point for the GOP, and they know it. They really lucked out with the Supreme court appointments because they will not have that opportunity ever again.

That Supreme Court will, however, be a major obstacle to restoring voter equality.

good points there, snub.

but don't count on all hispanics voting dem in 2024....catholic roots run deep.

That is why we need to win, so then we can stack the court and make PR and WDC states.

Ya this is true but the other demographic factors will overwhelm them.
