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

So as usual its all just projection.....

He voted against Bidens nomination on Jan 6th.

Trumps new legal filing might as well say I did an insurrection but that doesn’t disqualify me from office because I was the president

As great as Jeffries getting the position may be, it could also be terrible for the Dems as the GOP still have the majority, which means a complete stonewalling of anything Jeffries tries to do while the GOP will blame the Dems as Jeffries is Speaker. Whereas if the GOP are still tearing themselves apart and unable to get a Speaker voted through themselves, the fault for the House getting nothing done is on their backs. Even if they try to blame the Dems at that point, it just makes themselves look weaker as the Dems have no power in that situation.

Reagan could come back from the grave and he still wouldn’t get the full vote of the caucus

Nancy Mace makes the wild claim that Democrats trust Gym Jordan, lol

When pressed, she couldn't back this up with any names, and then tried to walk back her remarks by saying they trust him more than Kevin McCarthy, lol. She did this after a couple minutes of ruling out the Ohio Wrestling sex abuse scandal wholecloth.

In the same interview she says that she won't vote for Scalise because he attended a white supremacist conference.

I for one can't wait to see what anti-vaxxer Robert De Niro has to say.

Scalise has withdrawn from the race to be Speaker, acknowledging he won't get enough votes.

Pretty much just leaves Gym Jordan, but also doesn't mean he'll get enough votes to win. Probably not for several rounds of voting anyway.

There's some living memory in much of Europe of what living under a extreemist dictatorship looks like. I'd to think that that fallout from the subsquent generations has fostered a greater appriciation for liberal democracy. But for the Americans, their last brush with facism was over 150 years ago, and came in the guise of the technically democratic Confederate States of America. I fear that more than enough time has passed for some Americans to dangerously assume that facisim could never raise it's head in the "Land of the Free".

So their guard is down, and the notion of comparing MAGA with Nazism is rubbished by its defenders. But the comparisons are there, and the insidious thing about facisim is that it often markets itself well and provides hope to other hopeless people that they can become part of a bigger whole that will embrace them & reward them at the potential expense of people they don't approve of.

Before Trump managed to rebrand all of this as "MAGA", the mindset of GOP extreemists was just that: "extreemism". But now, post Trump, this is a "movement", a political force...a "cause". They will fight the Woke, they will defend Jesus, and they will safeguard the rights of "traditional legacy Americans" (or white, straight, probably Evangical Christian rural Americans) against the "Globalist Caballs!" (Read: Jewish people) and their insidious plans to replace white people with non-white people...for reasons(?).

These people already existed, it's just that this Orange rapist lummox gave them a symbol to organise around, and now thanks to this the GOP probably can't even decide on a shared lunch order together due to Gaetz complaining that the cafe wasn't "American enough" or some similar nonsense.

I do hope that moderate independant voters are observing all of this and remembering it for when they cast their vote.
