if there is something that's really telling to me about the audio leak, which i'm assuming isn't manufactured, is that someone felt they needed to record it in the first place.

there is no honor among nazis, they operate on bad faith and blackmail. i know everyone here knows this but it's always worth restating that if they were to ever achieved their odious dream of eradicating us they would immediately turn on each other.

Absolutely, with Biden the worry is 2022 and 24.

poo poo let’s be honest it doesn’t even matter who the nominee is, 2022 is going to be a Republican comeback because that’s how it goes with midterms when a Dem is President.

if we don't get to recession in the next year i'd bet on having one during the next president's term no matter who it is.

it's going to be essential in general that none of the militia groups have any shared goals. if they all went into attack mode at once, half of them would be knifing each other before the national guard even showed up.

Erdogan was 100% using this whole situation to his advantage/to gently caress with the KSA from the start. He was pretty obviously leaking more and more info to keep it alive in the media so it stuck as an issue. It doesn't seem insane to find out he has additional dirt that Trump could be blackmailed with.

The idea that Democrats would do better on a ballot where they aren't the explicit alternative to Donald Trump is a ridiculous and preposterous idea. Mike Pence may be a worthless piece of poo poo that no one likes, but he isn't utterly loathed by by nearly 55% of the country.

Between Milo leaking that audio, and chilling in a chair with a glass of wine claiming to be Jacob Whol's personal stylist, there might be a non-zero chance that he flips his grift to calling out his old crews. I mean there's not much to lose, and surely he can see a lot to gain.

I'm fine with it. Milo is drowning in debt and he needs some kind of new grift. If he dishes on every single fascist in an ongoing shitstorm of cattiness I think that he'll either get paid to shut him the gently caress up or targeted by fascists. Either one I'm fine with.

Well, for starters, yes, Sean Spicer cited My Little Pony to try and defend Melania from ripping off Michelle Obama's convention speech, and Melania was very clearly shaken up by the bad press she got from the RNC speech, which was her first major public speaking event ever and it blew up in her face. And just like the man she married, she is petty, vindictive, and passive aggressive so you can easily see the through-line from her getting embarrassed about being made fun of for the first time in her life to picking bullying as her core White House issue as a passive gently caress you to her critics.

See the "I don't really care, do u?" jacket.

Yeah, but absolutely no one loves him either. He'd get the people who would turn out for anyone with an R after the name, but Trump got those too. He'd pick up a few people who stayed NeverTrumper after October 2016 but as it turned out there weren't that many of those. He wouldn't get the Trump cultists, especially if it looked like Pence was involved in Trump not being in the election. He wouldn't get the (delusional) people who convinced themselves Trump was a party outsider who wasn't going to be tied to the Republican standards of homophobia and austerity. He wouldn't get the people who thought Trump was good at business so would be good at the presidency. He wouldn't get the people who voted for the loud flashy celebrity. He wouldn't get the (also delusional) people who thought Trump was more moderate than that radical liberal Hillary. And he would absolutely not energize unengaged moderates who are only going to vote if someone makes them feel like it.

One of the things absolutely everyone dances around is that Trump did so well because he was loved, absolutely loved by lots of people on the right, and the people who didn't love him were almost entirely those who would fall in line. He didn't steamroll the entire field of traditional Republicans because he was a weak candidate, but because they were. And even the no-hopers in 2016 had a better shot at the presidency than Pence would have.

Trump was only a strong candidate in the context of a country where the right was already pretty crazified by 2016 and engaging in historic levels of voter suppression, but it's not like that came out of nowhere either. It first part of the RNC 2012 post-mortem, and instead of trying to fix the problem they ran howling into the void with it. Since 2016 the party's only lashed itself harder to Trump, the Trump brand and Republican brand are increasingly synonymous. Trump 2020 might not be able to land all of the same moderates and political illiterates that helped 2016 Trump over the line. On the other hand another Republican, especially Pence, who breaks hard enough from Trump to get them back will be a backstabber to the Trumpists. They're in a hard place no matter who they run, and they know it.

None of this is to say 2020 is a sure thing for Democrats. The Democratic candidate could self-destruct, some weird third party deal could split the opposition, voter suppression in the right swing states could break things, or Republicans might even stumble onto someone who is charismatic and convincingly neither Trump nor "swamp" to unify their coalition without motivating people who hate Trump to vote against. But in the end the Republicans didn't have a better shot at the White House than Trump in 2016 and they don't really today.

so basically what he wants to do is release edited transcripts that make it look like he didn't commit a crime like what he is saying the democrats are doing? I'm really starting to believe we are in hellworld. I'm listening to the podcast "It could happen here" (thank you to whatever goon suggested it) and I am wondering if further planting the idea that this is a coup in the minds of gullible chuds will help create the climate that violent protests could happen. We already have lots of people that disregard reality, know very little how the government functions, and own a lot of guns in this country. What would it take to set them off?
