Let me guess, you think some far left candidate will have broader appeal than the centrist? Far too many on the fediverse seem to have difficulty understanding the realities of first-past-the-post.

It’s the christofascism that’s on the way out. Tribalism and prejudice and conservatism will likely remain and will take different forms.
I feel like their tantrums are death throes of a dying ideology. You’re right, they remain dangerous for the moment, hopefully for the last time.
Trump doesn’t mean white immigrants; he married one of those.
Ensuring his later years are filled with endless stressful legal battles as he tries to hold on to his last possessions also gives me schadenfreude, especially if he will have to pay it anyway.
Bankrupt != broke. He still has a lot of assets, multiple properties IIRC.
I personally haven’t visited family in Texas for years, largely because of their slide into Christofascism.
That’s the scary thing about all the people who lived through WWII and the first wave of fascism dying off, I fear many have forgotten the consequences of supporting such ideologies.
I think the whole Twitter debacle has disproven that he’s a good businessman. Rather, it highlights how far one can get by having heritable wealth and being in the right place at the right time.
Well it sounds better than, “I’m getting paid to split the Democratic vote.”
He’s good at catering to his base but he’s driving away everyone that isn’t a Christofascist. Democrats have outperformed polling the last 2 cycles, and I suspect it’s due to this.
A reminder that Trump is likely a Russian asset, he wanted a secret back channel with them, he was fucking around in Ukraine by blackmailing them to investigate Biden and make him look guilty, he practically kissed Putin’s ring in Helsinki when he agreed to let them investigate their own crimes and send them a US ambassador.
They went to Moscow on the 4th of July a few years ago.
Creating misery in Missurah
Missouri is the poorest and least consequential state in America.
Mississippi is the poorest state in America. Missouri is #21. Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, “thank God for Mississippi?”
It’s a very expensive walled garden
Jerusalem, which is contested
Fascism always eats itself
This all or nothing mentality never works out well for Palestine, nor will it for its American supporters.
Let’s hope they outnumber those who don’t.
