I honestly thought nothing was gonna happen, but I think they're gonna do it. It's the most lib thing possible: removing a president two weeks before he leaves anyways and claiming they saved democracy. The round of applause they'll give themselves will be insufferable.

    Trump may be gone but his base is not going anywhere. Expect more bombings, rallys and shootings, sadly.

      Getting rid of Trump is honestly probably key to winning 2024. No one will beat him in the primaries, yet anyone but Trump will have a pretty easy time winning against Biden. Trump's the only guy who might not.

        Not just within the realm of electoralism, but in general. These people are armed and ideologically ready to fuck shit up, as we saw today. They don't need an election to start attacking bystanders.

        There must be a Democratic primary in 2024, or they are going to lose handily.

          I don't think they'll allow Kopmala to be primaried. They specialize in losing

        Plenty of shitlib Republicans. Romney and McCain were both horrible candidates and would have been clubbed like seals by your standard Clintonian Democrat - even one that wasn't black.

      His base will be waiting and will latch onto the next bat shit crazy far right figure that emerges. Trump is just the beginning. Somewhere out there, there's someone much worse than him sitting down and vowing not to make the same stupid ass mistakes he has made.

        Good point but I don't think this decaying empire is capable of producing someone like that anymore. We're culturally and ideologically down so bad, the privileged class couldn't even mount an argument grand enough to justify what happened today outside of vague ideas of liberty and freedom, not to mention all the #SaveTheChildren pizzagate detached from reality stuff. We've drunk too much of our koolaid. The people who invented this reality are long dead and the only people left are those who believe it. Some Machiavellian type who can seize the moment and capitalize on them is unlikely because, who? From where? Hitler was at least somewhat prominent before he was brought into power.

      I say it a lot but Trump really is Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler realizing he has nothing left but his fans. He loves rallies, he'll be doing them forever.
