    Honestly, at this point, I’d say their whole regime collapsing due to constant infighting is America’s best hope.

      Oh, absolutely. And thank goodness it’s starting in earnest before the delusional dementia patient takes office.

      Although I think it is a far outside possibility, it would be especially amusing if Trump was deposed before he’s even inaugurated and JD Vance takes office instead.

      Vance may be an evil piece of shit, but at least he’s not literally insane. He’s also, clearly, too much of a coward to push his rhetoric beyond much resistance.

      What really baffles me is how the hell Trump is even still alive at his age and with his lifestyle and diet. That can’t last long.

          I keep trying to imagine that, and everything I imagined is terrifying.

              Well, sure. Ozzy Osbourne was a nice talented fellow who appropriately sought medical help when his mind is started to go. Aside from bats, no one was ever in danger of Ozzy Osbourne doing something terrible to hundreds of millions of people.

        Not only them. Everyone will suffer, including Trump (etc). The real fear is that one side “wins” and gets to do whatever they want.

          Tbh no, in “normal” bad circumstances rich people like Trump escape a lot of suffering because they’re insulated by money.

          The only time the uber rich suffer is when other uber rich or powerful target them, like look at the state of billionaires in China or Russia and you’ll know that money doesn’t mean shit in those countries.

          American uber elites who want to create an Indian/Chinese/Russian like regime in America will suffer when they get that wish because right now they’re protected by the woke liberalism they hate so much.
