    Trump has zero chance imo. He's too much of a threat to the establishment bc he's rogue, they thought it could be wielded but he's too unpredictable and impulsive.

    they'll deplatform him Bernie style by throwing literally any other name out until something sticks.

        That’s part of why they like him

        Unlike libs the republican base loathes the establishment. The more they treat him unfairly the better he will do

      I really want to see if there were any secret think tank meetings among the bourgeoisie about if they could harness the power of the hogs to make money. I think maybe up until early 2018 they thought maga chuds could be pointed in a useful direction, then probably gave up once it became clear it wasn't working out. Probably around the time they saw Qanon stuff getting popular.

      I don't know if I'd call the hogs a threat to anyone now, but they certainly aren't a predictable social element and aren't particularly good at anything other than clicking like on insane right-wing Facebook pages. January 6th has made them basically an anathema among the DC beltway lanyard folks.

      I think it's less that Trump's rogue and more that he's not useful. He doesn't even hold that tight of a popular sway among his target goldfish brained audience. They like the idea of him more than the actual person. They don't actually listen to him or do the things he says, they follow along with what they think he's saying. Remember when they booed him last month because he recommended getting vaccinated?
