Oh he will run again, and people will vote for him. The theory underpinning this is the fact that he did not serve consecutive terms and if you think that won’t work; all it takes is one party going along with it. And fuck you for downplaying what he is capable of.
- mcmcmc 2mo agoYou keep saying it and it’ll happen. Stop saying it. You give credence to the idea by speaking it into existence. Stop believing and repeating their bullshit and letting them win. If he tries, some states will keep him off the ballot and likely threaten secession if the feds attempt to force him through. That’s the point when doomers like you can decide to get your shit together and forge a compromise, or let the oligarchs have their way and light off a civil war.
- LastTrain 2mo agoYes and I caused Jan 6 by calling out my local Rep. in December 2025 for telling his constituents to storm the Capitol and steal back the election. What compromise on this issue are you looking for?
- mcmcmc 2mo agoThe problem is talking about it like a foregone conclusion. You have already accepted he is going to run and are ready to convince the rest of America that he will be on the ballot. You are doing their job for them. The compromise is that corrupt officials on both sides need punished. Both sides need reform. Neither party should have the kind of power Trump has seized. We don’t fix this by voting in a Dem who goes on a GOP witch hunt without also rooting out corruption in the DNC. There has to be enough consensus to pass constitutional reform, and you don’t get there with extremism or hate.

- mcmcmc 2mo agoYeah pretty dumb to talk about the future in the present tense imo
- LastTrain 2mo agoBecause his party is already going along with it? This is playing out now, not some future hypothetical. There are already Trump 2028 signs. Already elected Republicans officials making the case for it. I know you’d like for people to shut up and go along, or better yet laugh it off.
- LastTrain 2mo agoWe don’t need “both sides”, we need to punish corruption, period. What’s happening in the Trump administration and Republican Party isn’t remotely comparable to what came before it. Open corruption and bald face lies repeated all the way down to the individual. So there is no “one for one” fairness bullshit as you are trying to present it here - the reckoning needs to come regardless of how the corruption is distributed.
- jonners00 2mo agoHis cognitive decline is increasingly evident, his approval rating is the lowest on record (for any president), he ran again last time because it was his best chance to stay out of jail. If he wants a peaceful dotage and doesn't want his legacy torn down, he's better to endorse Don Jr or Marco Rubio and rig the election at the margins if need be.
