It's not accelerationism if he was actually the best candidate. His 'real' competition was Cruz and kinda sorta Kasich. President Trump is better than President Cruz, and Kasich was low-key absolutely insane and would've started WW3 within the first 6 weeks of his presidency by moving NATO bases within spitting distance of Russia.

Even the also-rans were worse than Trump. Ben Carson was bonkers and doped up, Jeb! was a corrupt idiot who loved turtles, Christie was just a less funny and more corrupt Trump.

The Math is at least:

how much of the us military are trump supported,
plus how many citizen trump supporters will throw their bodies to the grinder,
minus how many Trump backstabbers are there that think the could gain king-like power,
minus anti-trump people who are willing to kill trump supporters:
-/+ with how easy/hard it is to kill a trump supporter.


I am hoping this wording passes the "don't talk about killing people rule."

The Supreme Court has already shrugged and invalidated a presidential election once in my life with absolutely no downside for them or for the GOP.

I liked that video where Shapiro went on a BBC talk show and got summarily executed because he's not used to 'debating' without being in control of the venue.

Americans don't like to think about it but we've had two good presidents since the Civil War and three total in our history. Every other president outside of these three (Lincoln, FDR, Eisenhower) was a varying degree of negative.

Pulling it back around to covid, Trump's responding to it in a vulgar stupid way but the meat and potatoes of the fed response wouldn't be adequate under any other president either. It doesn't matter how competent an executive you pick to carry out policy if the policy itself isn't effective.

There is no thought about supreme court, or the house, or senate.

All there is, is the image of trump sitting with his arms crossed, saying "I'm not Leaving."

Then everybody in the united states picks their sides, slaughters the fence sitters, and goes at it.

It won't even get to slaughter, the executive branch will be full of Trump loyalists who will say, "he's not leaving," and then nothing happens. Everyone shrugs and carries on.

Candice Owens is one of the main Turning Point USA folks known for doing stupid things and Bitchell is just some Twitterati crank, but Ben Shapiro is one of the big conservative commentators / intellectuals nowadays, the patron saint of college republicans, a man of high stature in that culture and and of even larger presence

There's no way to keep your hands totally clean in that position I'm convinced, like every single one did a bunch of bad poo poo but when that's your whole context for your life and career it doesn't make you a personal monster either necessarily. Tho many/most were, of c.

If Trump refuses to leave there is no way in hell Biden and the democrats will press the issue. It will come down to if the military, intelligence agencies, federal bureaucracies, and essential workers are finally done with this bullshit and sick enough of watching their families and communities get sent out to die for Number, and whether the many nations that host our military bases see the writing on the wall and decide to kick us out
