The tone of "Trump 2024" terrifies me

I realize that TFG hasn’t actually declared his candidacy, but considering the amount of “Trump 2024” flags and memorabilia I see here in the middle of Trumpistan, it’s inevitable. At least most of these idiots have moved on and finally taken down their “Trump 2020” flags and signs with 2024. What frightens me is the slogans and tag lines on them. Messages like: “take America back” are benign. Usually they say “the rules have changed” or “revenge tour” or just accompany a “F—-“ Biden flag. All anger all revenge. It is terrifying what he would be allowed to do should he get back in.

Support him. Those are terrible numbers

And, 60+% of the country say it would be bad for the country if tfg ran again.

People keep saying “they are a minority and while I agree, the hardcore Trump voters are, once he’s the GOP nominee he might as well have a 46% floor. Never forget that Obama pulled the economy out of the toilet and helped a lot of people get health care and was thanked by giving Congress back to the GOP and 5 million fewer votes in 2012. It wouldn’t take a lot of votes in certain states to flip the results.

6. I don't know how this country could handle another 4 years of TFG

I saw a headline of a You Tube video of a CNN clip of Michael Smerconish entitled "How Trump could beat Biden in 2024" and internally screamed. I tweeted at CNN and Mr. Smerconish to slow their roll. Biden has not been in office for a year yet and CNN and some pundits are already writing his political obituary. I agree that if TFG gets back in the WH it's going to be political and personal revenge on a scale that we have never seen. We saw a small microcosm of it after his first impeachment. The rational part of my brain says that there's no way that enough people would want to go through all of that again and that he might not even bother running. Another part of me though remembers 2016 and thinking that he could never win in the first place and that he could still lose but win if enough people are willing to lie, steal, and cheat for him.
