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

The MAGAts are just in the process of transforming into Mussolini style Blackshirts. Their job will be to terrorize opponents of Trump and, very importantly, create general mayhem and spread fear. Thankfully they consist of a lot of cranks, idiots, malcontents and lunatics.

If these people were even the slightest bit better organised, they could really create a lot of chaos and Trump would blame BLM and Antifa for it. He would then promise to clean up this mess if elected. It worked for Hitler and it worked for Mussolini. One can only hope that by dint of his general laziness, incompetence, arrogance and ignorance, he is so self-assured that he thinks everything is going AOK for him. His worst qualities are, to us anyway, his best qualities.

The other good thing, he had the momentum in 2020. And for the reasons outlined above, he failed to fully cash in on the situation. My feeling, should he run in 2024, he won't succeed either, because he missed the crest of the wave. This truly was The Revolution of Stupid.

I totally agree that Trump doesn't really care about the stability of the country vs. saving himself from jail, but if he creates enough chaos, he's still in danger. He'd better have a 'bugout' location ready or else at least have a safe room in Mar a Lago.

If it gets to the point where the gathering is actually about clashing with government forces, then I don't think mass arrests would be a deterrent as such. The deterrent, then, would just be the idea of getting in a physical fight with trained law enforcement and/or military personnel. In that type of fight, a lot of the pub talkers who exist in the alt-right side of things would be as much a liability as anything else, and they wouldn't show up anyway, leaving only a hardcore of angry men with big beards to play martyr.

Oh, that would be quickly rationalised by the conservative U.S. media. They'd just need a little time to find a cohesive angle that wouldn't get them sued somehow.

Meanwhile, on Telegram and 4Chan and everywhere right-wing trolls hang out, the killer would be hailed as a hero (or else called a victim of Antifa mind control. Or something.)

Just a selection of talking points from those channels that have 'news' in their titles but aren't legally news, and who look right down the camera with a serious face when giving their opinions, but they're really just entertainers who don't necessarily mean what they say, especially when what they say provokes a lawsuit.

"There may be a sliver of a chance of something possibly amiss here."

Trump supporter - OMG! This will blow your mind!

"Trump clearly breaks several laws and obstructs justice"

Trump supporter - I👏Need👏 a👏 conviction 👏in👏a👏court👏of👏law👏

It's really the only angle that they have, unfortunately. They know that Trump is a crook and that his family engaged in plenty of dodgy self-dealing (chinese trademarks, saudi billions etc) but they don't want to admit to themselves that they like a crook. They would rather believe that everyone's at it and Hunter Biden is the closest thing that they have to that so that's what they're going to continue shíting on about until the cows come home.

This is unfortunate for the something something Hunter Biden/Ashley Biden crowd whose logic is “nobody has DENIED the contents of the laptop/diary therefore it’s true”

and he is not DENYING Hutchinsons testimony. Huh.

Hey, that WH lawyer gave Eastman really good advice. He should take it.

meh.

this is the woman who “dumped trump” in 2018/2019. It was a ploy to goad him into not accepting the Bipartisanship that had emerged to fund the government, end a shutdown threat, fund over $25Bn for the border through congress, AND reform immigration. She came out with nonsense like this to infantilize trump and he turned right around and told Mitch to nuke the bipartisan deal, make sure it never hit the senate floor, and the government shut down for weeks.
