Like if the libs fantasy comes true what are they trying to do exactly? Put Trump in jail? Do they realize how that would look to half the country?

    I think there's probably a more dangerous republican that could run. The next republican candidate knows they have to dial the trump up to 11. Imagine president a Desantis or something.

      I’m from Florida and DeSantis scares the absolute shit out of me. That man is a dangerous fucking lunatic and would be so much worse than Trump.

      Trump’s a moron, DeSantis is a calculated, committed, ideological fascist. It’s fucking terrifying to me that there’s a very large group of people who actively like and support him. I’m pretty sure if there’s a current US politician that would be the one to put leftists in camps, he’s the one.

      And I don’t even understand why people like him either. Trump’s likable in a weird disgusting way, like, he has an extravagant personality and is funny. DeSantis is one of the creepiest, grossest ghouls I’ve ever seen, and I’m pretty sure his idea of comedy is watching the light go out of a poor person’s eyes as they die from covid.

      If DeSantis becomes President I will genuinely be thinking about how I can get the fuck out of this sinking ship before I end up dying in a concentration camp in fucking Orlando

      I'm not fully convinced of this because just about every politician is captured by an individual desire to make money, get in the good graces of the bourgeoisie, get book deals, have a career. That kind of stuff. That's why Trump had basically no support in Washington to overthrow the election, because these people want jobs. Trump was different because he gave red meat to the hogs and acted as cover for the most bloodthirsty aspects of American empire. He wasn't viewed as captured, despite essentially acting as a doofus they would move from room to room so a entirely standard Republican administration could be carried out.

      What's far more likely to me is the republicans will run someone so devoid of any personality of their own they'll do whatever's asked of them. It's why they stuck Mike Pence with Trump.
