I don’t want to argue against your lived experience, but somebody is buying all those hats and yard signs.
- rogerrogerr 1y agoYeah - I think there’s a very small core of people who genuinely think Trump will win a third term, and a slightly larger core of people who want him to. Then a much larger set of people who are engaging in some very unwise trolling. I just think it’s telling that all the rabid Trump supporters I know aren’t there. Zero of them want to see him on the ballot a fourth time or otherwise pull shenanigans.
- TimorousBestie 1y agoYour account is reassuring to me, yes.
- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoSurely if shenanigans around changing eligibility to vote and maybe a bit of tampering with vote machines (won't be detected if there's no-one around with the authority to validate voting), then it won't matter if Trump has many supporters or not. I would expect him and his handlers to look to other authoritarian regimes to see how to safely have democratic votes without any chance of losing power.
- int_19h 1y agoAt this point they don't even know who he'll be running against. But put a name there, and I guarantee you that they will immediately flip and claim that they have to support Trump, because the alternative is going to be literal communism or whatever.
