clearly she’s setting herself up to be the antimaga standard bearer. her problem is that even without trump, there’s not enough rational republicans left in the party. what the party is going to do now is continue to purify itself to be more maga. if it’s not going to be trump again (and remember, there’s no law or constitutional restriction that says felons, incarcerated or not can’t run for or be elected president), the next charismatic magat is going to be the next nominee. because the most rabid, reactionary, and active member of that party are all magats.
he was such a disgraced loser in 2020 his deranged followers assaulted the capitol. I dunno, I think those bozos will come out for trump no matter how low he falls.
Con them into doing a Truman-like reality tv show (that they don’t know about;) and then gaslight the ever living fuck out of them?
Edit: I know. Tell him he’s doing a TV show called “Best Wing” (or whatever,) and tell him it’s like West Wing, but it highlights the glory of his presidency. Throw in some cheap flattery, bury in his contract the relevant permissions and that he can quit any time by exiting the full the Trump Stage (through a door at the top of a few flights of stairs)
Set up the Best Wing studio to be like a big brother set, complete with hidden halls so they can pop out and move stuff and generally fuck with the guy.
Exactly. There’s a very clear correlation between when Trump’s support started to fade and when Harris metaphorically pants him at the debate by daring to laugh at him when he talked about Haitians and made him look like an utter jackass.
Trumps followers are bullies, and they follow a lead bully. When that lead bully gets a taste of his own medicine, their supporters grow unsure of their allegiance.
I dispute that Trump is charismatic. Listening to him talk is like watching a drunk man cross an icy street.
I think this goes back to the Hitler myth that he could sway and mesmerize Germans. Of course, this idea became popular in the post war years when support for the Nazis became embarrassing. The truth is that fascism is simply popular. If Trump has proved anything it’s that his supporters are jumping into the abyss with their eyes wide open.
Germany was doing pretty bad economically after the first world war and especially after the great depression. Lots of people had no jobs and couldn’t afford anything.
Wages of the average worker aren’t keeping track with inflation right now, so that’s what would have to be changed to have any chance at stopping this.
Russia also needs to stop trying to destabilise the western world.
Are we going to have to go through some nazi shit where we as a country feel so bad we change? Is that what trump is? Or is he a part of the end of the world. I guess we’ll find out soon.
Fix the problems that fascists use to make people feel threatened by “others”. For instance you can’t make people worried about immigrants taking their jobs if there’s plenty of jobs or losing your job didn’t mean your life was fucked.

The good news is that cults of personality tend to fail if their personality becomes a disgraced loser.

What do they do when their personality was a disgraced loser from the start?

It’s all highschool bullshit with Trump and MAGA.

Thats honestly terrifying. How do we kill it?
