If there's one thing that any Republicans that actually manage to claw their way to elected office and the Democrats can agree on after the election, it's that Trump can suck his own shriveled, spray tanned dick. Anybody shows up and tries to start any poo poo over his not getting elected can spend the rest of their lives in agonizing pain crucified along I-495.

Wow a lot of terrible fan ficing in the last several posts.

IMO the GOPe shouldn't ratfuck Trump. At least not now and out of the nom.

They should financially ratfuck him. Like if the decades of rumors of his books being all BS is true, then I'm sure the can do the financial drone snipe him.

edit: Also Twitter should ban him after Nov.

Yeah, to be clear, I was more worried about a bunch of shootings in major population centres than a full-scale civil war that would require things like organisation, hierarchy, and the ability to suborn part of the army. Worst case some sort of guerilla movement that shits on everything until the people involved are caught.

A nasty thought occured to me recently. If Trump really is on the receiving end of a full-on Mondale-scale shafting, what happens if he decides the best way of getting more narcissistic supply is to call for his supporters to rise up and tear down the evil election-rigging Democratic government? Given that they're the ones with the guns and all. Obviously he'd be in jail within the day, but wouldn't the country still be totally hosed?

Mostly it'd result in a couple dozen dead white guys who thought they could totally take on the cops and military with their gun hoards and extensive shooting experience (in Call of Duty).

I don't think it's advanced thinking- I think the Vanity Fair article had him well pegged as an egotistical jackass but a decent businessman who's pissed that the media is profiting off of his rallies and speeches while he isn't, and starting up his own media company is the way for him to make money off of his own publicity while flipping the double-bird to people he hates, so it's win-win.

it's not even one dimensional chess

he literally repeats what his supporters say back to them

anything popular with the wingnuts, he say

the guys's spent his life doing whatever the gently caress he wants and making, somehow, people put up with it. this is no different.

hell, he used to be friends with clinton and has said democrats are better for the economy. his whole campaign is just bullshit.

A rat gently caress probably just means extremely low turnout. Old white people don't riot in the streets.

There's a zero percent chance of Trump getting ratfucked and people not getting the ever loving poo poo beaten out of them (or worse) in the ensuing riot. The diehard Trumpers at the convention will lose their poo poo if a last second rule change is used to deny him the nomination.

He won't get ratfucked though. The powerbrokers of the party might label him a lost cause and focus entirely on downticket races but they won't do something that has a highest chance of destroying the party. But we can still dream.

You didn't pay attention to the wildlife refuge incident earlier this year, did you? They put out all sorts of Call to Arms and poo poo after Finnicum got himself killed by trying to act out his murder fanfic and Cliven got his long overdue arrest. Nobody did anything because the people who play dressup and boast about ARE PATRIOT FREEDUMS (ie: the 3% movement) are the biggest cowards of them all.

In regards to Trump and his cargo cult campaign (thank you again for this analogy Prester Jane) the only thing I'm doing is enjoying the show.

If Trump manages to crash even harder in the next few weeks, so hard that the GOP decides to rat gently caress him? Well shows over. And everyone will know it.

If he "stabilizes" somehow for the next few weeks to secure his nomination? Well that's 4.5 more months after that of an orange clown taking the biggest, most rancid poo poo ever on political decorum, all while ripping up the tense alliance built by the southern strategy for 60 years, under the banner of the GOP themselves.

And if Trump jump starts some 3%ers to try something between now and January 26th 2017? It's just Malhuer all over again. And that was fun as poo poo to watch.

And on the chance that some of these vile, belligerent, retards get violent and starts killing people? Well I didn't really feel much from Orlando. That shits part of the weather report for me at this point.


So calm down, get a beer, and someone should go make popcorn.
