It’s still amazing to me that Q started with “Hillary is arrested as I speak” and that took off like it did.

Trump lunatics are the loudest bunch but I'm firmly convinced they're a small minority. Also Boomers keep on dying and young people are more likely to call themselves socialists than any generation in history

Captain Snaps posted:I fully expect Ryan to re-emerge after all of this blows over. Having to deal with Trump was going to damage him one way or another, and that would not help his presidential ambitions. Quitting was both easier and more convenient than actually stepping up and being a leader. He will step back up when leading is easier. He'll absolutely try this but I wonder how popular he'll actually be this time. When he was a vice presidential candidate he got soundly obliterated in that debate and folks were mostly just making fun of his workout photos. Now he's most famous for being the guy who made it his personal mission to take away your healthcare but failed. If he tries to run for president I'm picturing a JEB or even Howard Schultz level of like, some brief interest at first but then a rapid flameout due to his own assholishness and stupidity.

Wasn’t he forced to be Speaker originally because he wanted to run in the future and being Speaker would give him a lot of negatives to work against, but the party forced him to?

The republican party becoming a transparent white supremacist party is a unique opening to change the political landscape in 2020 in a way that didn't seem possible following Sanders' demoralizing loss in 2016

I think 50% is a pretty good estimate for the portion who would shrug if the GOP turns on Trump and don't think about it further Look I think voting Republican is morally reprehensible at this point, but plenty of people who will vote for Trump are low information or single issue voters who vote Republican no matter what. The lunatics are a scarily large portion of the party but not all of them

OAN is on the “rich person” channel. Luxury yacht and jet shows. A travel show where attractive women visit private islands. Selling private islands. Then they made a news network that started off as, oddly enough, opposed to jails and for cannabis legalization. It slowly morphed into a right wing crazy person news network.

Gort posted:For real? I didn't think complete disarmament was ever on the table for either of those powers. I can't imagine the US and USSR going nukeless in a world where China, India, Pakistan, France, North Korea, Israel and the UK have nukes. Yes, when Ron and Gorbachev met in Reykjavik they had a back and forth moment where total denuclearization was actually on the table. But Reagan refused to give up on SDI and Gorbachev wouldn't budge without getting that in return. When they were leaving, Gorbachev said, "I don't know what else I could have done" and Ron said "you could have said yes". Looking back on it now, it feels like a timeline split moment. Like somewhere else there's a universe where Ronald Reagan wasn't a stupendous piece of poo poo who wanted to play with pew pew space lasers.

Gatts posted:One thing that always bugs me is why is Trump the hill they are dying on for? I guess White Supremecy and being on the take from foreign influence like Russia is so important for GOP/Conservatives they are good with undermining the US. They have no choice. Their base are insane trump zealots and there's no functional part of the party which can survive electorally if they reject trump and his emblematic "insider purge" and nativist authoritarianism. There's no non-racist or non-trump GOP. this is why the only meaningful defections were from doomed, retiring people or from narrow-band defections as the entire party engaged in a contraction cycle.
