He's guilty of crimes against humanity.
He's directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths during the pandemic.
He's guilty of sedition.
He's guilty of treason.
This is that.

It would be fun for Ds to win a trifecta but tRump keep his death grip on the Rumpublican Party so tight that nobody can run against him in 2028 and then he runs again.

(358 posts)How anyone, male or female, ever found Trump to be appealing in any way is beyond me. I understand the dissatisfaction, the fear, the dislocation of many, and that Trump came along and appealed to those feelings. But Trump?! I guess we can be thankful they didn't find someone less weird and more capable. Hopefully with an energized, competent and appealing team, we'll climb out of this morass.

(37,084 posts)Make no mistake, this is all their doing, not Chump's. He's just the useful idiot who stepped up to the TV cameras. If they hadn't found him, there would have been someone else complicit, destructive and evil.
It's the weakness of our Electoral College that allowed this to happen. Of course the Founding Fathers never foresaw that ridiculously wealthy people like Charlie Koch (and many others) could be so blind and so evil. But they are, and so are the lawyers who work for them.
Of course the complicity of our "no-longer-free" press has exacerbated all of this.

Thankfully Trump isn't as bright as another useful idiot might have been.

(819 posts)I am so sick of seeing, hearing, and worrying about another trump presidency! I want the entire Republican Party to lose so many seats in congress that they crawl off and hide from shame. I want the Oligarchs to lose so much power that they once again can’t do anything to harm this nation.
Self Esteem
(2,032 posts)In 2016, I really had a hard time grasping how he was competitive with Hillary. When it looked like he'd be the nominee, I thought he'd revolt every decent voter and Hillary would win in a 2008-like romp. As the election drew closer, it became clear that was not going to happen and Hillary was, at best, set to eke out a win.
In 2020, I got my hopes up again, especially as national polling indicated Biden was up close to double-digits. He was gonna get beaten like a drum.
Except Biden won by a margin similar to what I was thinking we'd see from Hillary four years earlier.
I do not expect anything differently this year. Trump is not going to be decimated at the ballot box. He will somehow find a way to win 46-47% of the vote, just as he did in 2016 and 2020.
Our hope is to just hang on and eke out another win. Age is our best chance of doing away with Trump for good. Unfortunately, it's clear Trumpism isn't so easily defeated.

(1,492 posts)Trump is a convicted criminal and should never be near the White House ever again. We need to amend the Constitution to state that a convicted felon cannot be President. It is an obvious thing that the Founders did not put into the Constitution. But they were aware that a Tyrant could get into power. They created a system of checks and balances to deal with that. But we do need to make it a law that a convicted criminal can not be President. Seems obvious. It would also go along well with the Supreme Court reforms that Joe Biden just put forth. So no criminals for President.

Maybe we should call it the Trump Law. Make it official. Let it go on the books that way. He probably won’t even notice what it’s about. Anything that has his name on it, he’d like and he probably wouldn’t even care what it says.

I don't want to speak too soon, but I think we might be at the end of that battle.

(2,615 posts)Trump’s appeal is to fascist reactionaries who fear positive, beneficial change, diversity, and inclusion.
Racist replacement theory, anti-immigrant nativism, and white grievance politics – the unwarranted fear that ‘white culture’ is being erased – are all part of Trump’s fascist appeal.
So Trump lies about ‘the border,’ demonizes immigrants, and vilifies minorities to appeal to white conservatives who believe that America is being taken away from ‘real’ Americans.
Last are the blind partisan hacks who know that Trump is an evil con man and grifter but don’t care as long as the conservative agenda is pursued – judicial appointments being a prime example; the blind partisan hack may hate the messenger but approve of his message.
One shouldn’t be surprised to learn, for example, that Liz Cheney voted for Trump in 2024; Bill Barr has already indicated he might.
And as already correctly noted: if not Trump then someone else; Trump is a product of the GOP, nothing but a figurehead.
