What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

You haven't. You made a statement, offered up your evidence, and it was debunked. Nothing Facebook did was illegal.

And no election laws were broken. The proof? Trump and his associates took over 60 cases and lost everyone of them.

But it appears you have proof, that meets the legal level to deem it illegal even though no court has agreed with you. Maybe, just maybe, your second hand knowledge of the law, and third hand evidence isn't quite what you believe it to be.

Your opinion, are not facts. Present facts. How many cases of illegality in the election have been proven?

What laws did Facebook break? If they did break election funding laws why didn't they get arrested or sued? Why didn't the GOP governors of some of those states step in to stop it or subsequently pursue FB?

Why? Because its all just your fantasy. No facts, just opinions based on third hand conspiracy theories dreamt up because it veats having to face the reality that Trump was beaten.

Rejected by the voters. He was given a chance, the lessor of two evils for many, and was found wanting. He couldn't protect America, he didn't stand up for America against Putin, he didn't build a wall, he failed to reveal ObamaCare, he didn't bring back jobs, he didn't fix the national debt, he didn't sort out infrastructure, he didn't sort out the waste, he didn't clean up Washington.

And, if you want to deny all that and continue to pretend the election was rigged, then Donald J Trump goes down as the POTUS that couldn't even protect American democracy.

Excellent. Why are you wasting your talents here? Get yourself to your Lord and Saviour before those evil commies who lack unquestionable belief in your opinions start throwing around facts and reality. Get those opinions to the real President stat so he can bring another court case which will surely triumph based on your opinions and beliefs. Oh if only we could believe as strongly as you, then what a wonderful fantasy land we could make.

I agree with you that the search function here has much to be desired, but if you look back they're there and with links to news organizations supporting my contentions.

No - hang on. What evidence came about after the fact?

Because until you accept that there is no evidence, past, present or future, you will continue to have a warped and wrong foundation for any discussion going forward.

All I can do is urge you to look at the BS you are being fed, whether it be via Fox, Newsmax, Reddit, 4Chan or wherever, and try to grapple with the hard fact that these people are spinning lies in order to grift off those vulnerable enough to believe what they say so that they can pocket the cash. FFS - look at those caught red handed. See Alex Jones - all complete b0llox, Steve Bannon and donations to the wall - all complete b0llox. Trump and his election overturning funds - all complete b0llox.

You might feel a little foolish at first, maybe a little disorientated too, but I reckon you'll eventually feel less jaded trying to expend energy defending the indefensible constantly.

So you accept that at the time the cases were taken, the time that Trump had already declared the election fraud had taken place, that no evidence existed?

So you accept that Trump is lying? That he did not have any evidence that the election was rigged, and was simply making it up?

Now, you add in that since the cases were thrown out that evidence has come to light. But since this 'evidence' has never been tested it is not evidence at all, simply an opinion.

Why, given that Trump is still peddling the line that the election was stolen, as are you, has Trump no taken up new cases with this new evidence? Why did he stop?

But at least we are making progress. You have admitted that Trump, and his supporters, were simply making up a conspiracy at the time. That is welcome progress

I thought they didn't bring any guns?

Which poster here said that exactly?

It's what I've wondered as well. Trump's the perfect storm, while all his sycophants within the party are simply stuffed suits parroting his lines. It's weird, Trump's a billionaire but has had a far better rapport with the core of the Republican base than those who have worked in politics for years. He eats McDonalds, goes off half cocked in his speeches. binge watches Fox News and displays his wealth in a tacky way, with an eastern European trophy wife and a gold apartment lined with animal furs. It was funny to watch him emasculate people like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, watch them skulk off and then attempt to reinvent themselves as hard men by growing a beard and developing a confrontational persona. Their act is transparently false.

But these are the type of men looking to take over from Trump one day, and back to your original question, what I think happens when Trump dies or is out of the picture in any other way is that there is a bitter power struggle within the party. There would be those who try to rise to the top on the mantle of Trumpism, but exactly what flavour? Anti-vax? Build the wall? Q-Anon supporter? It's such a big tent of crazy that it's hard to see any one candidate really coming to represent it, hence a struggle between different Trumpist factions. But also, as well as that, there could be those hanging on on the periphery of the party who see the departure of Trump as the time to bring the Republican party back to some sort of normality and attempt a purge of sorts. There are probably those within the party who look at the current course of U.S. politics and decide that if they don't pull it back from the edge, there soon won't be a USA to govern and their holiday home in the Hamptons will not provide adequate cover from a second American Civil War or even just large-scale unrest.

But you can't really get rid of Trumpism unless you also deprogram the voters who are eating up all the hatred and conspiracy being thrown about on social media and news networks. You also have to address legitimate endemic concerns these voters have in the first place, i.e. doing something more about the rust belt than telling people maybe they should learn to code. It's been governments' constant refusal or inability to really tackle the austerity and the unemployment and the rising cost of living which has mainly led us to this rise in far-right politics over the years. The parallels in history are too big to ignore. We've seen it in Europe not a hundred years ago with the post-WW1 economic depression and the far-right/left factions battling it out in the streets and eventually the rise of Hitler. You'd think we'd learn the lesson, but maybe we're just doomed to constantly repeat the cycle.

Reports of the GOP's demise are greatly exaggerated.

Trump University was the only thing he ever did? Trump also claimed his campaign was spied on. Turns out he was correct and all the self-proclaimed experts here were wrong.

Yes it was spied on, and by illegal means on the FISA application to obtain FBI surveillance. You might wish to familiarize yourself with Kevin Clinesmith, and other matters that have already come out in the Durham investigation.

..... and SERIOUSLY???!!!

Durham report is not yet completed. Arrests and trials should be forthcoming, if Biden doesn't shut it down before then.
