      I think that every day until I realize 1/3 of the population would still vote for him without a second thought. It’s been far beyond sad and pitiable for years now.

      Now it’s simply malicious and a direct threat to every single one of our lives. The other 2/3rds need to start treating it as such.

          Another 20% will vote for him even with a second thought juat to own the libs, so it will be close at the polls.

            The culling of Trump voters during the pandemic and the rise of Gen Z and Gen Alpha voters who are sick of this shit will hopefully tilt the scales in favor of Biden. I would genuinely worry if Biden died and Harris took over, though.

            By the way, since this is Kbin and not Reddit, fuck the Trump voters who died because they were too stupid to take precautions during the pandemic. We’re all better off without you. Fewer potential Wal-Mart shooters as far as I’m concerned.

              I just wish they hadn’t taken out so many innocent people in the process. I attended 3 funerals because of the virus and a friend of mine is now a brain damaged shell of what he once was. Some reason the latter bothers me more. Maybe because I have to just sit there and hear him start screaming about groomers while gently leading him back to “have you thought about going back to work?”. I miss him.

      That will be happen because he is in jail, not because he struck a deal. There is no deal to strike at this point on the documents case. He had a chance to give them back.

        Oh, there’s always a deal, at least for him. The rules do not apply evenly to start with, and even though he’s not that rich, he’s still part of the aristocracy.

        Even though he broke all sorts of laws that contain the words “betrayed your nation to foreign adversaries”, started a sloppy coup last time he lost an election, and basically bragged about it in between perjuring himself, the best solution for everyone is for him to quietly fade into irrelevance.

        It’s always better not to make a martyr if you can help it, it just isn’t worth it

        Plus, the cruelest punishment I can think of is letting him use up the last couple years of his charismatic energy out of the public eye, so when he inevitably comes back he’d reveal himself to be the rambling dementia patient he’s been for a while.

        And I don’t mean that as an insult - read his speeches. His delivery is amazing. Take that away and just read them (especially from the most recent ones), and even if you realized he was spewing word salad it’s still shocking
