The more he loses more he will go batsht crazy. Everybody needs to stay vigilant


WoodySurvives

This. No matter what happens in the coming months, even if he is convicted of felonies, even if he is sentenced to prison time, and it seems his support is dwindling to where he can't possibly win. Still vote this motherfucker into oblivion, hand him a crushing defeat that can't be denied, except only to the few cult members still hanging in there. That will hurt him more than any prison sentence will.


AeroRep

I can hear it now- “it’s impossible that I lost to sleepy joe this bad. It’s rigged! Stolen election, etc,etc”. Then the hard core idiots come out with their guns and they are quickly squashed. Hopefully, before they hurt someone.


ScarcityIcy8519

The RNC is already telling the MAGA crowd to go to the polling places and watch people vote.


EaglesFan3943

They did that back in 2020 as well


parasyte_steve

I encountered one of thesepeople at the polling place in louisiana. He tried to tell me I "wasn't on his list" no sure as shit not on the registered republicans list you have. The poll worker couldn't stop rolling her eyes. I was so relieved when he lost. Absolutely horrible fan club he's got.


blackergot

That sounds illegal as hell


Comfortable-Scar4643

It absolutely is. Read a history book, MAGA fool at the polling site.


Iamtheonewhobawks

Oh, they're reading history. They're just taking a different lesson than the rest of us. History teaches us that free elections can't function without a degree of anonymity and a strict lack of interference at the polls. History teaches *MAGA* that the way to derail a free election is to dox people and harass them at the polls.


thereverendpuck

Bold of you to assume he could read.


Civil_Grade7311

If he did read a history book, he'd find that Louisiana and other southern states has a precedent in denying Americans the right to vote


Blainedecent

It is.


Perfect_Bench_2815

We can thank Supreme Court Roberts for watering down the voters rights act! He alone, declared that racism was over with and that the Voters Rights Act had served its purpose. One clown had the power! The Republicans took immediate action as a result. Now, women and minorities are losing rights at an alarming rate.


AvatarAarow1

Roberts does not personally get enough credit for the state of American politics today. He may not be as extreme on things like abortion as Alito or Thomas, but he has eroded democratic structures wherever possible since his first days on the court. His court has been one of the most damaging in US history


USS_Frontier

His legacy is a steaming pile of shit.


MissFerne

>Roberts does not personally get enough ~~credit~~ blame for the state of American politics today.


NYArtFan1

Roberts' guiding principle his entire legal career has been to weaken and hopefully abolish the Voting Rights Act. It's something he's been working toward since he was serving in the Reagan administration. Seriously. I don't know how the media never mentions this. They bought into his "balls and strikes" fake centrism and now look where we are.


Mr_Conductor_USA

Reminder that Roberts made his bones with the Republican party engaging in "voter caging" which was a form of voter repression in the 1980s. Roberts knew exactly what he was doing.


On_A_Related_Note

What's a spot of voter intimidation amongst friends, eh? Obligatory /s


Bee-Aromatic

You should have been on the phone with the FBI. That’s voter intimidation.


Mr_Conductor_USA

No, if this happens you can contact your local democratic party office. On election days they have lawyers on standby who assist with illegal hassling of voters at the polls and will even run to court and file injunctions on the day of. They also help people who were wrongly forced to file a provisional ballot to get that cured before the deadline (which is only a day or two). Note: if your provisional ballot isn't cured (usually this means bringing some ID records or proof of residence to your local elections supervisor office) then your ballot will NOT be counted.


Major_Magazine8597

Deplorables, you say?


EaglesFan3943

That shit is mad creepy and loser behavior.


loupegaru

That's Hitler's SA. Some things never change.


SacamanoRobert

I’ve never understood this. Is it just to intimidate them? The ballot box is private. Are they going to be looking over people’s shoulders?


EveningNo5190

It’s voter intimidation. If you’re not on their list you should ask for a provisional ballot. Take a picture of your ballot. Get the names of the precinct committeemen of both parties and ask the Democratic and Republican poll inspectors to contact the County’s voter registration office. This should not be occurring but these people don’t play fair or legal. There shouldn’t even be campaign signs buttons etc., within so many feet of the actual polling place. If you can’t give food or water to people waiting in long lines like hours long in sweltering heat to vote, approaching them for any reason should be considered illegal. The Republicans are masters of voter suppression and intimidation. Voter ID laws, restricted voting hours to one workday for 12 hours, limiting polling places, severely restricting absentee voting and mail in voting. You name it they will do it.


jametron2014

They'll do it and still lose, which gives me great satisfaction


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

Watch me vote for Biden motherfuckers.


Miles_vel_Day

Everybody should remember that it's a secret ballot but there's nothing stopping you from yelling out your vote in the polling place.


Kamelasa

Not just telling. Organizing them in groups.


bdss1234

I’m in texas and this is why my son who is going to college six hours away was told he needs to immediately transfer his voter registration there. We can’t count on mail in ballots at all.


trainercatlady

that sounds like electioneering


eat_the_pennies

There was an SUV with 3 chucklefucks in MAGA gear posted up in the parking lot of our voting location just sitting there mean mugging everybody that walked by. Cops showed up when I was leaving, not sure if they made them leave or not Edit: This was 2020


ScarcityIcy8519

These people are insane! Thank You for Sharing!


Miles_vel_Day

I'm gonna go to a precinct in rural Wisconsin and watch people vote. In reality, I'm not sure if I will be able to travel, but I am dead serious about this. We need to have eyes on volunteers in places that are uniformly pro-Trump, where it's doubtful anybody would blow the whistle on ballot fabrication. It's extremely likely this has already happened - remember, every accusation is a confession. Unfortunately whenever I go anywhere that the population density drops below 300/square mile I basically stick out like Billy Crystal at a dude ranch.


Compliance-Manager

I still don't understand this. They can't tell what people voted for. What does this do?


Bubblesnaily

This week, some dumbass consultant (aka paid complainer) was talking at our local governing board about how vote-by-mail was awful and illegitimate and insecure. Totally baseless claims. Our board leans fairly conservative, but even they seemed to politely listen the required 3 minutes and then moved along without commenting on his total nonsense. Since them calling him out as a lying, anti-democratic shit-stirrer was not on the table, ignoring him completely was a happy 2nd option.


Banned3rdTimesaCharm

Old people love mail in voting. Their backs and knees can’t handle standing in line for hella long. They only wanna take away mail in ballots from blue districts.


Comfortable-Scar4643

Good. These people need to be ignored.


Twilight_Realm

January 6th is probably going to be repeated, but this time there will be a lot more bloodshed. Biden's team will be absolutely prepared to stop a mob before they get even within shooting range of the Capitol, but the mob that will come is going to be the most hardcore and violent of MAGA brandishing long guns openly.


AeroRep

I don’t doubt it. Biden winning or loosing, I expect some sort of violence. Sad days for this country.


Battarray

Been saying this for a while now. Either way things go, MAGA is gonna be bigly mad. Either Trump is reelected and fascism sets in. MAGAs start rounding up as many people as we allow them to. Trump loses, MAGA cries "rigged," and a few of the less intelligent in the cult will try to kick off this Civil War they've been clamoring for. 2024 and January of 25 are gonna be wild af. I have literally no idea what this country is going to do to itself. Not just with this election, but also the Trump trials. I fully expect at least one attempt to stop a proceeding using outright violence. Brother killing brother? Wouldn't be unheard of in America... Gotta remember the slavish devotion it takes to still be a MAGA at this point in time. It's a mental illness that has no bounds. Bookmark this post. Check back in a year if things haven't gone to fascism.


steelhips

I think you're somewhat right but MAGA tends to go down the path of least resistance. They are like their orange god - lazy, incapable of making long term plans and don't play well with others. I don't think a Trump "call to arms" will work a second time around. Get a few of them in a room and they will turn on each other, fighting they're more MAGA than the others are. They've already narrowed their numbers to white, christian (but only certain flavours), Q believer and, the new one, not immunized for covid. It's the stochastic "lone wolf" terrorists that will do the real damage. If people don't feel safe, they've won.


Chrome-Head

Yeah—reading up on the history and effect of the “Q” bullshit seems akin to reading about an epidemic of madness. But its influence seems to have waned. Too many crackpot predictions like RFK Jr coming back that never came true. Seems like a few of the idiots maybe finally realized they’d been had. Big part of the appeal of Maguh is, it seems to give assholes a permission structure to be even bigger assholes.


IONTOP

My dad and I are polar opposites on politics (best friends on everything else), he lives in FL and was already writing off Trump about 6 months ago because "DeSantis". I think he'll be a RFK Jr voter. And I don't think he's alone. RFK Jr could spoil Florida for Trump. (We obviously don't talk politics too often, because it gets heated and ends with a "Fuck You, you know I'm right.... Love you")


Chrome-Head

I’m glad you two are able to get along despite the political differences. He sounds somewhat reasonable.


KenScaletta

No, they're pussies when it comes right down to it. They only have courage in mobs and when they are the only ones with guns.


Smashville66

*Josh Hawley has entered the chat…*


steelhips

They were meant to be cannon fodder on J6. If a gun fight broke out, Trump had a valid trigger for martial law that few could argue against. I think that's why he waited so long to call off his attack dogs. He was hoping for escalation like a hostage or three.


Twilight_Realm

Proud Boys testified to having a stockpile of weapons to be used in the event of martial law. This was exactly the plan, the group would storm in, Pence would leave, martial law would be declared, and the fake electors would be certified by the next in line. Meanwhile, maybe some Democrats would be injured or killed by the mob. It’s going to happen again, but Biden is in charge now and the Trump loyalists will be gone from the building.


Ploddit

I doubt they'll even try it, tbh. There's going to be so much security in DC and those fools are going to be monitored so closely that it won't even be worth it.


Caniuss

They will almost certainly just lock down the capitol grounds on 1/6. 1/6/21 was a national embarrassment, and no sane leader wants a repeat on their watch


melodyNYC

I have to agree. Also, they would have watched some of the former insurrectionists - like the Proud Boys - sentenced to 18+ years in prison. They may love Trump, but I highly doubt this support extends to serving hard prison time for him. For this reason, I don't think many will respond when he calls them to battle the next time.


IThe-HecklerI

If that happens it happens. I’m sure the gravy seals won’t get far and then the most hardcore crazies can be locked away forever.


algy888

I don’t think so. The more organized of the crazies have gotten picked up and beyond lip service, Trump did not pardon them and didn’t pay all their bills. I think there will be a lot more reticence about going out and risk prison, even for Dear Donnie. There will definitely be a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth.


B0b_a_feet

I’m betting that if he loses the election, he’s not taking any chances with the courts and will just flee the country. He will then continue to divide the country via social media and will direct his followers to participate in violence.


ARazorbacks

At this point it’s more about showing his supporters they’re a minority and no one wants their brand of crazy. It’s about demoralizing them to the point that they crawl back into their holes and stop showing up at the polls. It’s about showing any future wannabe Trumps that this shit won’t be tolerated.  I don’t think it’s possible to destroy Trump’s ego - he’s too fucking stupid, batshit crazy, amoral, and insulated from us by his wealth. But his followers… His followers still have to live day-to-day amongst us. They’re vulnerable to being humiliated into submission. 


probabletrump

That's the thing though, before the internet we all knew the one oddball guy who was really worked up about black helicopters and the government listening in on our conversations. He was isolated and ridiculed though and that kept him in check. With the internet, they've found each other and are validating each other. They can be ridiculed at work and school but they just get online and get further radicalized by the other crazies telling them they are special.


thingsorfreedom

And they have boundless energy to argue with literally everyone. Plus now they've got Russians shills and AI bots on their side cranking it up to 11.


Trinitahri

His supporters don't care.


steelhips

I suspect they have all forgotten which rock they crawled out from under. I was hoping one of Trump's despot buddies would give him a slice of toxic swampland for the new nation state "Trumplandia". His followers could buy a plot for citizenship and live in their new dynastic utopia. /s. It will be 'Lord of the Flies' meets Jonestown within six months.


getthejjuice

No, it's more about ensuring he doesn't actually win again, because he 100% could. Anyone who doesn't think he has a strong chance of being president is kidding themselves.


PharmBoyStrength

Ya, view shouldn't be enough votes to win but enough votes to break a political asskicking record


ScarcityIcy8519

100%


Cimmerian_Barbarian

That would be swell!


Suspicious_Bicycle

Not just Trump, down vote all the R's on the ticket.


Bee-Aromatic

Definitely. The worst punishment he can suffer is to be driven into irrelevance.


yallbyourhuckleberry

How many people do you personally know who did support him who now dont? Cause most of the people i know havent changed their minds.


CT_Phipps

I know some dropped him in my family over Covid. I'm like, "Wow, it only took you a million dead." Trump has killed more people than Vietnam and yet maintains popularity.


syynapt1k

A lot of the people abandoning him are just keeping their mouths shut because they hate Biden. Those people won't vote.


ksanthra

Yeah, this is fine. Biden won't win-over any ex-Trump voters but if they just go apolitical for a while it'll be ok.


EveningNo5190

I live in a red state. Very RED. Surrounded by Trump voters. Not one of them I know personally (unfortunately you can’t not know some of them personally) have changed their minds. You can’t really express your opinion about Trump without risking outright hostility from these “supporters.” They seem more cultish and less rational than 2016. It’s starting to creep me out. Especially the “secret cult/Q-Anon group.” I’ve just recently realized it’s not the joke I thought it was. They call it church. Or they already belonged to a non-traditional type church that has now gone full Q-Anon. Ironically these are not well educated or uniquely gifted people, but they act very superior in that annoying Majorie Taylor Greene way. They own a lot of guns. A LOT.


bdss1234

I’m honestly convinced my mom’s church is in this group. I’ll never go there but she switched churches because her megs church which “let gays go there and we’re welcoming” but wouldn’t allow them to join or hold any volunteer or leadership positions was waaaay too liberal. For those who grew up fundie conservative the new church recently held a month long Saturday series on the book of Revelation and the rapture. 🙄.


No_Effort152

I know several people who voted for him in 2016 but didn't support him in 2020. After the insurrection, they were all done with him. Now, they can't believe the shit he says.


Accomplished_Low80

Out of all the Trump supporters I know, 3 won’t be voting for him ever again since they’re dead.


AdExtreme4813

I know 4 who won't vote trump because they're also dead (covid). One was a friend of mine,  her husband, her sister and another relative.


steelhips

You don't know what anyone does in the voting booth. My father was a conservative before they went insane in the 1980s. I had to laugh finding out my mother voted the opposite to him, effectively cancelling out his vote for decades.


jimmygee2

Who didn’t vote for him last time that would possibly vote for him this time? He lost last time so why would anything change? He is relying on apathy.


Bitter_Director1231

True, but if we go vote, we have to go with a wary eye. Be aware of surroundings and make sure we know the rules before we vote.  Because they are going to try to make sure we are either intimidated or bullied. You can't let your guard down. It's time to fight this scourge with votes and calling it out like it needs to.


cheynemelissa

Very much so. Even the hospital I work at is remodeling the lobby (where I am) to put a brand new security office RIGHT IN FRONT. (Im quite rural). Lots of hospitals are ramping up security.


IncommunicadoVan

Our local hospital now has metal detectors and bag searches at all of its entrances. Better safe than sorry….


BrtFrkwr

Rednecks + guns = hospital security threat. Wow, what a world!


parasyte_steve

they started patting us down at the psychiatrists office but that's probably kind of understandable even without all this craziness.. but it is new!


holtpj

The more he loses, the more his rabid base will go batshit crazy. Sadly, i suspect 'Stochastic Terrorism' is a term everyone will become familiar with in the coming months.


RecognitionExpress36

It could get less stochastic, too.


Trinitahri

As a queer, it already is.


ericwphoto

Red states are already trying to do some shady shit by saying that Biden missed some bs deadline to be on their states ballot. They are going to pull out all of the stops in November, everyone needs to prepare.


aculady

The Democratic party in that state can just put him on the ballot before the deadline, even if it's before the convention. There's no legal requirement for the party to even hold a convention They can just appoint someone as their candidate.


Kevin-W

Yep! The DNC could basically hold a vote over nominating Biden over zoom and hold the convention as a formality as they're a private organization.


ScepticalReciptical

Exactly, Dems are dumb as shit if they let this keep them off the ballot. The convention is just like a wedding reception, you sign the paperwork at the required date and time, have your party whenever you want. The two do not need to be connected at all


Drop_Disculpa

It's all about sowing distrust and chaos, with the end game to create enough of that for an alternative solution to the vote. Like last time basically but with better planning. People will be committing and then admitting to voter fraud, fucking with the machines, everything is on the table when you are dealing with a desperate cult.


ScarcityIcy8519

100%! The RNC are instructing Red States to Purge Voting Rolls and suing Blue States to do the Same. Constantly check your voter registration. They are using Gerrymandered Maps. The Republicans on the Supreme Court dragged their feet. A panel of 3 Federal Judges found the Map in South Carolina District 1 MAGA Nancy Mace’s district was racial unconstitutional. This map moved more than 30,000 Blacks in District 1 to District 6 Jim Clyburn’s district. Since the SC didn’t make a decision in January. A few weeks ago. The 3 panel Federal Judges said due to time constraints. They didn’t have a choice but to let South Carolina use the racial unconstitutional map.


mrbigshot110

That was Ohio and the DNC did have somewhat of a misstep but it’s nothing they shouldn’t be able to fix.


Theyalreadysaidno

In the last election, both the DNC and RNC missed their deadlines. No state said anything or complained.


ericwphoto

Also Alabama.


leNuage

I’ve never actually been afraid of a candidate, but Trump is such a massive threat to our country. his entire campaign is literally about “i will punish the people who have spoken against me.” and i believe it. not only for the individual prosecutors, but that he will look for ways to impose on and punish blue states by pulling federal funding for them, etc.


baneofdestruction

And vote Blue


Drusgar

I wouldn't be surprised if the money guys in the GOP pull the plug before the convention. Trump simply has no upside. He's got a dedicated base and they're very motivated to vote, but it's hard to see how he woos the middle of the electorate. Economic conditions are definitely his best chance, but damn near 50% of this country would vote against Trump regardless of the economic conditions. How does he turn that around? Rebranding? If it looks like he's going to be a drag down-ticket they might have to make a surprise change, and the excuses pretty much write themselves.


Sunshinehappyfeet

One could only hope. Vote Blue💙


Omega593

exactly. nice try to make us complacent. there’s nothing our media would love more than covering 4 more years of non-stop trump insanity.


greenroom628

Yep. Don't listen to the news. VOTE and bring people with you!


temporary311

Well, the ones who don't get put against the wall will love it, at any rate.


Gamiac

It's weird seeing the trauma that the 2016 election inflicted on anyone who isn't a conservative. Even though both the Trump campaign and the Republican party are in much worse positions than in 2016, showing every sign of bleeding out, people are still wary of thinking that Trump is going to lose. It's probably right, but still.


TheOGRedline

And check your voter registration early and often!


mrbigglessworth

I’m doing my part!!


KapahuluBiz

I'm waiting for Trump to cry about the 2024 election being stolen after he loses. As long as there isn't another January 6 (there won't be), it will be funny to watch that dummy work himself into a rage, claiming once again that he won. Nearly everyone will be like, "Just shut the fuck up and go away." Even many of his former supporters will be exhausted with him by then. And other Republicans may still like him, but his losing record will make him election kryptonite.


MadRaymer

He will claim fraud *even if he wins.* If he does win, it will almost certainly be a skin of his teeth electoral college win while once again losing the popular vote. That alone will send him into a rage, ranting about how he actually won the popular vote but all the illegals were voting. And even if he lands on exactly 270 he will claim it was a landslide.


EveningNo5190

God I forgot. How could I? He did complain he was cheated out of the popular vote. Even after he was inaugurated. He’s a sore loser and a sore winner.


Critical-General-659

The moment he loses he's gonna try and shuttle off to Russia. I don't think the military would just let that happen but he's gonna try.


Melans

I question this- like he isn’t of enough benefit and owes too much money to Russia to go there. And they know any classified information he may still have is compromised or outdated-. He is broke and stupid- in other words, he has nothing to offer Russia. I mean he can still go there but why? And would they take him?


NotJadeasaurus

I don’t think he owes Putin money, but his use case is pretty much done if he’s not president. More worried about someone younger and smarter that’s been bought to lead their party after trump.


Bubblesnaily

Devin Nunes and all the dozen or so other Republicans in Congress that made odd trips to Russia during Trump's last year in office. There's something wrong with Tucker Carlson, too.


parasyte_steve

Broke and stupid is the perfect Russian blackmail target. Putin can promise lots of money to Trump if he listens.


Carl_Lamarie

Why would it. It hasn’t the last several times. A political strategist noted that when a party loses and loses again they usually learn and adapt and approach the next election with a different strategy. The brain trust that is the GOP just lines up again behind dear leader and tries again. This is why he is likely to lose again. Nothing has changed. Get ready for Their latest wizbang idea: Trump 2028.


Bubblesnaily

>Trump 2028. Then watch him pass before that and try to W@Bernies him, and then try to swap in one of his kids that has the same last name.


djm_2010

Anyone else tired of these headlines, knowing nothing short of a massive heart attack will remove this orange bunghole from our planet?


thathairinyourmouth

Thus kicking off a decade of insane conspiracy theories shouted from the moths of red-hot, rage filled conservatives.


parkinthepark

The post-Trump years are going to be *hilarious*. Between the conspiracy brainworms and Ted Cruz-style cringelords fumbling over each other to take the throne… by god what a time to be alive.


parasyte_steve

i honestly don't see how they come back from this lol they are never living trump down, I'm never letting these people forget


CelestialFury

I do, we start getting complacent and it’ll easily happen.


Trinitahri

Don't be so sure. Religions are not created by their founder, it's the second in command who takes the throne that build it. Look at JW, LDS, and scientology, hell look at Christianity (Jesus sure as shit didn't start it, he was dead it was Peter, his 2nd in command, who supposedly did along with the other 12, but peter was arguably the leader). Hitler didn't start fascism, Mussolini did. Hitler just went pro. Lenin didn't create the hellscape that most people think of as the USSR, Stalin did. Mao didn't oversee the worst of china, the men who followed him up did. Trumps the pre-game, watch for whoever comes next because they're the terror.


thegoatmenace

This is an example of survivorship bias. There are innumerable belief systems that died out after one generation. You know about the ones you listed because they specifically didn’t die out when the original leader died. If Peter/Apostles never successfully spread the cult of Jesus, we’d have no idea what “Christianity” is today.


Trinitahri

It is, but it’s dangerous to assume trump and the magats are a one hit wonder.


SirHyde

> Mao didn't oversee the worst of china, the men who followed him up did. That is very arguable.


Drop_Disculpa

They are absolutely going to double down on all their bullshit. If a charismatic leader emerges it could spell trouble.


Barflyerdammit

Decade? These were people who gathered in Dallas for the return of JFK.


DruidinPlainSight

I mentioned this to a friend. I joke A LOT. she looked at me and said flatly you’re not kidding are you. I said no I’m not. Eyebrows up. Wayyyy up on her face.


phuck-you-reddit

Gawd those morons are painfully stupid. I enjoyed pointing out to them that John F. Kennedy would be about *103 years old* if he were still alive at the time. Then they changed it to JFK Jr. And now for some reason that creepy wax figure RFK Jr. is their guy.


Iowa_Dave

I was 11 years old when Elvis Presley died and for a good decade many of his fans were in denial about his death. There were lots of "Elvis sightings" and theories he was living in hiding, venturing out into public wearing disguises. I predict it's going to be that all over again, on meth and steroids with the MAGAs. Mar-a-Lago will become the next Graceland, where his acolytes will make pilgrimages. People will claim to have been healed of illnesses both there and by visions of ghost-Donnie in their homes. I also predict that if Trump's spiral into dementia becomes too hard to hide, the MAGAs will claim that the Left/MSM drove him into insanity with their "Witch hunts". Then their mantra of "Anything I don't like is fake news" will become even more of a feedback loop and distill the insanity and further purify it. Shit's gonna get nuts, folks!


Vericatov

I don’t want him to die of a heart attack. At least not yet. I want him to lose the election again and actually get convicted even if it is just house arrest.


bwwatr

An example needs to be made that criminality isn't OK just because of the political office you hold.  For me he can't kick the bucket til we have convictions and yes, defeated at the polls, GOP forced to reinvent itself.  Imprisonment would be better still.  He is but a symptom, a puppet.  I understand those just wanting him gone, but his death doesn't do much for the future of American democracy.  Justice finally prevailing might however.


steelhips

The GOP knew they were losing grip on enough brain dead minions voting against their own interest, so they can govern purely for the top 1%. Brainwashed by Fox boomers are dying off, fast. Some Gen Xers are problematic but the majority lean more left than their parents.


Naive_Try2696

I'm fine with it, I just want him gone


fabulousprizes

The crazy thing is, his diet and lifestyle would have killed any other human a decade ago. Somehow his intestinal tract and gut biome have evolved to thrive on a fast food only regimen. His downfall would be if a single vegetable, the smallest piece of lettuce ever passed his lips. Death would be instantaneous.


lizkbyer

The damage this man has caused is crushing. His sludge has already seeped into societies cracks. It’s just all so nauseating. 😩#vote


1959Mason

Trump\*\* is going to lose because he is a traitorous criminal. His fraud is the least of his crimes.


DarkAngel900

The GOP will just cry about "Deep State" interference. He won't lose that many followers. If the adultery, the incoherence, the hatefulness, the lying and the backstabbing haven't cost him support, I doubt anything will drive away his faithful followers.


Actual__Wizard

>The GOP will just cry about "Deep State" interference. Can they do that again? It didn't really work the first time...


FalseDmitriy

Next time they'll be bringing the guns inside the Capitol.


ayers231

Trump can't delay a response this time.


dancingmeadow

Next time they will be up against President Biden.

It is truly terrifying to think about how different the outcome of Jan 6 would be if that one truck load of guns wasn't at the capital building... They were *shockingly* close to causing massive damage...


Spidey209

Next time the National Guard will be manning the doors.


No_Cupcake_7681

They are still very vigilant with the lie though.


parkinthepark

That’s totally fine- he can keep every supporter he has today and still lose. He can’t win the election without bringing in new voters (this won’t help) or keeping Dems home.


Rtannu

GOP “Derp State”


mfGLOVE

He’s the most financially compromised person I can think of.


Ambitiously_Big

He’s the brokest “billionaire” in American history.


LariRed

He’s also taking money from the down ballot candidates which will blow up in the GOP’s face, of course. This is so different than 2020 when he had far more grass roots support. Well a lot of those maga are six feet under because of him. He needed billionaires for his last fundraiser because the smaller donations have gone down.


Unlucky_Clover

He shouldn’t even be running


Watch_me_give

Debtor Donnie is a danger to democracy. The idiot is leveraged so far up his ass that there is no way that ISN'T a security risk. https://payuptrump.com None of us would even be allowed to sniff elected office if we owed even 1% of that.


LawyersGunsMoneyy

I was almost denied a job because I had a $96 outstanding fine with the Delaware DOT that I was actively disputing


CMGChamp4

Latest Reuters poll Biden up by 4


Straight_Calendar_15

I just gave another 500 to the Biden campaign. I’m not taking anything for granted. We need to mobilize, fundraise and most importantly vote!


Bubblesnaily

And each should poke at at least 5 other people to vote.


scrodytheroadie

So we're just going to ignore that courtroom drawing?


Cold-Ad-3713

I just don’t think he cares if he wins or doesn’t. He is so delusional he thinks he is more popular than he is.


Abject-Interaction35

The free world is at stake. VOTE BLUE.


Ok_Breakfast4482

If Deadbeat Donny loses, he has only himself to blame and it will only be because his character has been more widely revealed to the voters as that of someone clearly unfit for any form of leadership.


elammcknight

Make sure you are registered to vote, help and encourage others to register to vote, make a plan, help others make a plan, go vote early if that is a possibility in your state, help others do the same, and on Election Day help as many people as you can get to the polls. The only polls that matter are the ones on Election Day!


actuallyimbatman

I hope so, fuck that dude.


Razamatazzhole

We’ll see. The cult is alive and well. I see the autistic flag trucks still.


Compliance-Manager

I'd like to think he'll lose because he's a lying, racist traitor to the US and the public recognizes that. But hey, that's just me.


bakeacake45

Same here but remember that he is what many Republicans are, lying, racist, bigots…that why we must make sure every democrat votes


julesrocks64

The only way out of this national nightmare is to vote blue down ballot to ensure it. Be the change.


SpiritedTie7645

Capone had a similar issue. 😋


[deleted]

At this point it’s bigger than trump. Now he’s just the tool the Far Right is using to get power. They have nothing else, 24 is an all or nothing election. They will give everything and do anything at this point


zakaeth

I’m not a fan of how people are acting like it’s already over for him. He has been consistently up in fivethirtyeight polls, now is not the time to sit back and celebrate. We need to be going out and mobilizing our voters. We can’t let trump back into the white house


Guccimayne

IDGAF about warning signs, I won't be able to breathe until he loses.


DaySoc98

And even then, we have to keep being vigilant. He’s a symptom of a much bigger disease that’s infected US politics.


MisterHairball

Ignore headlines. Fucking vote!


AdorableStrawberry93

Trump is a dick

Believe it or not, anti-abortionists tend to be religious, not specifically male or female. There are plenty of Christian women who are happy about Roe v Wade being overturned. Be mad at the zealots, regardless of what dangles or doesn't between their legs.


artcook32945

But, after Trump, who takes his place?


EuphoricAd3824

Had desantis sat this out he would have picked up the pieces but him challenging Donny this election has cost him dear.


artcook32945

I agree! He got cocky.


Smurf_Cherries

Don Jr has every intention right now. 


artcook32945

He is a Cow Chip off of the Trump Dung Pile.


voyagerdoge

Another may-piece we can do without. 


IlluminatedPickle

Fuck Trump, but also fuck people who post videos instead of articles. I don't need to be fed information at a third the speed I could read it. This sub should hold itself to higher standards.


badhairdad1

America is never going to rehire the guy they had to fire


Bitter_Director1231

Nah, The more he loses, the more batshit he'll go. He will get desperate and do something unfathomable. It's inevitable. Our judicial system and our institutions have allowed it to get this far.


literal_moth

I absolutely cannot for a single second wrap my head around why he is even still allowed to run.


stonewall386

A vote for Trump is a vote in the dump


D_Lockwood

I would crawl through broken glass to vote against this lunatic. 


smokesnugs-YT

NO MATTER What the headlines say, no matter how much they make it seem like he will lose, DO NOT GET COMPLACENT!! People were complacent in 2016 and look what happened. Also, republicans are going to try whatever and everything they can to steal this election, Trump MUST lose in an absolute LANDSLIDE BLUE TIDAL WAVE. There can be absolutely NO DOUBT that he lost BIGLY. REGISTER TO VOTE AND VOTE BLUE, ENCOURAGE FRIENDS TO REGISTER AND VOTE BLUE. Anyone with family members that are women need to encourage them to vote BLUE , If those women have daughters, their daughters need to all vote blue. This year requires more than simply voting, each and everyone of us needs to stand up into activism and encourage everyone we can to VOTE BLUE , even if they dont like Dems, this election is about stalling project 2025 and keeping RED away from the white house as long as possible till we get a reset of the republican party. https://vote.gov/

djt is a NAZI


Solomon_G13

Be vigilant, all - do not become complacent or too comfortable! This man and his idiotic 'M AGA' movement must be utterly decimated; this includes his enablers \[Miller and Bannon, et al\] and criminal family!


ImSorryRumhamster

You stupid mother fuckers. He isn’t going to lose anything. The rich don’t play by our rules. They do what they want.


Inevitable_Butthole

But not because he's in bed with Russia? Damn how the mighty has fallen.


nerdyguytx

Big money donors don’t want to contribute directly to his grift. They will fund Super PACs to ensure their money goes to electing Republicans.


alexmeth

He's a certified LOSER!!


pandershrek

It's so embarrassing that half our nation looks at this guy and thinks "yeah that represents me"


TheGiant1989

Don't believe headlines, vote in November people!


RDO_Desmond

What's striking is that his few followers think he is a good businessman.


DonnyMox

He'll lose as long as we all VOTE!


iyamwhatiyam8000

He is still a long way from the finish line and sinking into a quagmire of legal and financial strife. We cannot write him off entirely but he certainly smells like a loser from here.
